The basic points of 9-month-old baby's complementary food feeding, it is still not appropriate to add salt or sugar and other condiments to the baby's food, because eating too much salt will increase the sodium ion concentration in the baby's body and increase the burden on the body. Let's share the basic points of complementary feeding for 9-month-old babies.
Basic points of complementary feeding for 9-month-old babies/KLOC-Basic points of complementary feeding for 0/9-month-old babies
The complementary food arrangement for this month-old baby is 2 meals a day, the first meal can be arranged at around 1 1 o'clock in the morning, and the second meal is arranged at around 6: 00 in the evening, with snacks and fruits interspersed twice. The amount of complementary food depends on the baby's food intake. Generally, it is about100g each time.
Although the digestion ability of this one-month-old baby has been established, the principle of adding complementary food should be followed from small amount to large amount, adding one at a time and gradually increasing. After the baby adapts and has no adverse reactions, add another one. It should be noted that the baby is more likely to accept new food only when he is hungry, so the baby should be fed new food before breastfeeding, and let the baby gradually know various flavors. The complementary food content in the two meals is best different, and some mixed foods of meat and vegetables can also be added.
It is still not appropriate to add salt, sugar and other condiments to the baby's food, because eating too much salt will increase the concentration of sodium ions in the baby's body. At this time, the baby's kidney function is not mature, and too much sodium cannot be ruled out, which will increase the burden on the kidney; On the other hand, when the concentration of sodium ion is high, the concentration of potassium in the blood will be reduced, while the continuous low potassium will lead to the impairment of heart function, so the baby should try to avoid using any condiments at this time. In addition to considering nutritional factors, there is also a key point in complementary food this month, which is to pay attention to the certain hardness of food, such as toast, fish fillets, shrimp balls, etc., which can improve nutrition and help teething and learn to eat. Chewing is a skill that must be learned. If babies don't have the opportunity to learn how to chew, they may only eat delicate food in the future and find it difficult to accept other foods. With the addition of hard foods, complementary foods that are too thin and soft or lack animal foods can be appropriately reduced.
When feeding complementary food, you can put the food in a bowl or cup and feed the baby with a spoon, so that the baby can gradually adapt to the adult's eating style and etiquette. For example, when mixing milk and complementary food, try to feed the baby with a spoon and avoid feeding with a bottle.
Basic points of 9-month-old baby's complementary food feeding 2 key points of baby's complementary food selection
1, add iron-rich food first.
Don't add complementary food to your baby too early, usually starting at the age of 6 months, and starting from foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, animal liver, green vegetables, etc., but considering the development characteristics of your baby at the age of 6 months, it is recommended to add rice flour fortified with iron first, which not only supplements iron, but also is easy to digest and absorb. It is not recommended to eat your own ground rice flour, because there is no fortified iron; And the rice noodles you buy should be added from the original flavor.
2. Foods with high nutritional density.
Because the baby's stomach capacity is limited, but it needs a lot of energy and nutrients for growth and development, it is necessary to choose foods with high nutritional density for the baby to provide high energy, high quality protein and rich trace elements, especially iron.
For example, many parents will first add "rice soup, vegetable water and fruit juice" to their children, which is not as nutritious as rice flour paste, fruit paste, vegetable paste and meat paste.
3, easy to eat, digestible food.
Secondly, because the baby's chewing and digestion and absorption ability is not strong, the added food should be easy to eat and digest besides being nutritious.
For example, soft and chewy food is better than long crude fiber; Pumpkins, sweet potatoes and the like in food are relatively easy to bite and digest.
4, the taste is natural and the taste is light.
The baby's taste is very sensitive, and the food should be based on natural taste, keeping the original flavor of the food, and there is no need to add any seasoning (such as salt, pepper, children's soy sauce, etc.).
5. Avoid hard, nucleated and small foods.
Before the baby is one year old, particles that are too hard and too small are easy to choke or get stuck in the throat, so add complementary food to the baby. Parents must be alert to this point and avoid directly giving the baby foods with kernels and small size (such as longan, cherry, grapes, etc.), as well as nuts and jelly foods, which are prone to foreign body choking.
6. Avoid foods that are sticky and hard to chew.
Some foods that are sticky and hard to chew (such as glutinous rice balls and rice cakes) are also best avoided for the baby. Even if you want the baby to taste it, it is best to make it into small pieces, and it is best to take a bite of porridge to avoid choking.
7. Avoid eating prickly fish.
Eating fish for your baby helps to supplement DHA, but there are risks in eating fish. In case the fishbone gets stuck in your throat, it will be bad. In order to prevent the fishbone from getting stuck in your throat, parents can choose salmon, cod and other fish with less thorns for their baby to eat.
Precautions for adding baby complementary food
In fact, babies are the same as adults, and they all need to adapt to new things, so when adding complementary food, they should be from one to many. Just start a new food, just add 1 species, and try a food for several days so that the baby can adapt better.
Add new food after the babies get used to it. This kind of attempt is to judge the babies' acceptance of this food and whether there will be symptoms such as allergic diarrhea and indigestion.
The same food needs to show a different state at different ages of the baby, for example, when adding complementary food to the baby at first, add some complementary food that does not need to be chewed and is easy to digest. Then, as the baby grows older, it will change. Parenting mothers need to pay attention to the fact that complementary food changes from thin to thick and from fine to thick, so as to better adapt to the chewing ability and gastrointestinal development of babies.
At the same time, we need to pay attention when feeding complementary food to our baby, from less to more. At first, we only need one or two spoonfuls to increase it slowly. Some mothers need to pay attention to adding complementary food to our baby, not to say that the baby is full by eating complementary food. At this time, the food only plays an auxiliary role in the baby's growth to a certain extent, so after trying many times, if you don't eat it, forget it. Don't force the baby to eat it.
