Principles of adding complementary foods to babies

1. Milk and dairy products are the main foods for babies. The daily milk consumption is about 600 to 800 ml, not more than 1000 ml. Eat 3 meals a day, gradually increase to 2/3 bowl (250ml/bowl) for each meal.

2. Observe the baby’s stool. If diarrhea occurs, it indicates that the baby has indigestion and needs to stop adding it. If there is undigested food in the stool, you need to reduce the food intake or make the food smaller.

3. Don’t overfeed. For babies under 1 year old, the main source of nutritional intake is still milk. If you feed too much complementary food, your baby may automatically reduce his milk intake.

4. Change food frequently. Your baby will get bored of eating the same food all the time. When he refuses to eat his favorite foods, it means he needs to change his taste.

5. Avoid mixing food. Do not mix a variety of foods together so that it will be difficult to find the allergenic food if your baby develops an allergy. Less salt and no sugar.
