The preferred complementary food suggestion is baby rice flour, preferably baby rice flour with high iron content.
Because after 6 months, the iron content stored in the fetus has been almost consumed, while the iron content in breast milk and formula milk is relatively small. In order to meet the baby's body's demand for iron, iron should be supplemented from complementary food to avoid iron deficiency anemia.
After getting used to rice noodles, start adding vegetable puree and fruit puree.
It is suggested to choose some tender green leafy vegetables and root vegetables for the added puree; For example, carrots, pumpkins, potatoes, yam, lettuce, cabbage, small vegetables and so on. Don't choose vegetables that contain a lot of crude fiber and are not easy to digest, such as celery, leeks and water spinach.
Fruits should be seasonal and fresh, so don't worry about adding some fresh-keeping substances because of storage problems; Try to choose some mild and non-allergic fruits, such as apples, pears, bananas, oranges, oranges and so on. Allergic fruits can be added slowly later.
PS: When supplementing iron, you can eat more fruits rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron.
Adding complementary food to the baby is a slow job, and parents can't wait. Every time you add a new complementary food, you should observe it for three or four days to see the baby's reaction, and then consider whether to continue or pause first; As for the types of ingredients of complementary food, it is best to have diversified contact within the range that the baby can eat. At this time, the baby's acceptance ability is still relatively strong. It will be helpful for your baby to get in touch with various ingredients as soon as possible. In the future, the chances of baby being picky eaters and partial eclipse will be much lower, and the intake of nutrition will be more balanced.
The above is my answer, I hope it will help you.
My family is almost one year old. According to the baby's situation at that time, I will share it with you for reference only.
When the baby is six months old, it is time to add complementary food. If it is a baby who eats milk powder, it can be added in four months. My baby just started to eat complementary food, starting with rice noodles. My child is exclusively breast-fed. At first, he didn't accept rice noodles very much. I insisted on feeding him a little every day and gradually accepted it.
Then, I will add mashed vegetables to him. It was autumn, so I bought some seasonal fruits and vegetables, among which sweet potatoes and pumpkins were my regular purchases. As long as they are steamed, soft and sweet, the baby especially likes them. The first time I gave my baby sweet potato paste, I didn't touch it at all. After eating, I still clamored for it, so I brought him more. I usually buy light fruit. I bought apples and bananas for a long time. They can be steamed or boiled. They are sour, sweet and delicious.
When the baby has teeth, it is necessary to exercise his chewing ability. I started to steam the apples until they were half cooked for him, or I could drink the cooked gruel for him. Both millet porridge and fruit porridge are ok. If the baby loves to eat, it will grow taller and stronger!
I wish every baby a healthy growth and a good meal!
Thanks for inviting me.
The baby is almost three years old, and the young treasure mother around me will always ask how the baby ate at that time, just taking this opportunity to get a haircut.
My baby is breast-fed and it takes 6 months to add complementary food. Babies with milk powder can try to add complementary food during 4-6 months. Another way to judge when to add complementary food is to see if the baby is interested in adult food and whether the tongue-pushing reaction disappears.
Add complementary food, starting with high-iron rice noodles. Note that this is high-iron rice noodles. Some mothers worry that the rice noodles they buy are not safe enough and will grind rice noodles for their babies, but in fact, it is not worth the candle. After 6 months, the baby's demand for iron has greatly increased. The rice noodles sold in the market are all iron-fortified rice noodles, but the iron content of ground rice noodles is extremely low, and the baby is prone to iron deficiency anemia after long-term consumption.
Rice flour with high iron content is best. After the baby has no adverse reactions such as allergies for 2-3 weeks, choose other ingredients such as millet and oats to get rice noodles, but it is best to choose a single ingredient to get rice noodles. If the baby is allergic to mixed rice flour, it is difficult to judge which ingredient is causing it.
After adding rice flour 1-2 weeks, you can add some fruits and vegetables to your baby. Carrots, broccoli and vegetables are the first choice for vegetables, and bananas and apples can be selected for fruits, which can be mashed into rice flour or eaten alone. Add one at a time, eat for 2-3 days without abnormal reaction, and then add new varieties. In addition, the baby just started eating rice noodles, which may be easy to constipation. You can also give your baby prune sauce, a very good laxative fruit.
When the baby is 7 months old, you can try to eat pig liver paste and lean meat paste. After all, pig liver is a very good iron supplement food. In addition, it should be noted that the "Guidelines for Feeding 7-24 Months Infants" issued by China Nutrition Society suggests that 7-9 Months Infants should be supplemented with vegetable oil, preferably edible oil rich in unsaturated fatty acid α -linolenic acid, such as linseed oil. Therefore, linseed oil should be added to the complementary food for 7 months.
When the baby is 7-8 months old, you can try to add egg yolk, starting from a quarter and gradually increasing. At this stage, most seasonal vegetables and fruits can be given to the baby, because the baby eats very little, so mothers can choose different vegetables to mix and paste together and then freeze them in the supplementary food box. Once in a box, the quantity is about 3 days at a time. Don't worry about the lack of nutrition in frozen food. In fact, freezing will not cause too much nutrient loss. In this way, the mother saves time and effort in making complementary food, and the baby is nutritious.
The above is my little parenting experience. Welcome mothers to talk with me.
Six-month-old babies can start to add complementary food, but it also depends on their own development. There must be a gradual process from scratch, and we must not rush into it.
Six-month-old babies should still give priority to breast milk, and complementary food can start with rice soup, because the concentration of rice soup is low, slightly larger than that of water, and the child's stomach is easy to absorb.
You can only give your baby a spoonful at the first time. Depending on the child's acceptance, carefully observe the child's reaction and make records so as to check the problem at any time. When children accept rice soup, they can gradually increase the consistency until they can drink thinner porridge, and then transition to normal rice porridge.
In this process, parents must be patient and give their babies time to adapt. When diarrhea or vomiting occurs, it is necessary to check it in time and temporarily stop using complementary food when necessary. Don't try again until the child recovers.
Parents of the older generation like to add egg yolk to their children in order to increase their nutrition. But in fact, because egg yolk contains fat, it is not easy to digest, and it is not easy to give it to the baby too early.
Rice noodles are also ok, be sure to make them thinner, so as not to increase the baby's digestive burden.
Children's complementary food must be made separately to ensure hygiene, and oil, salt, sugar and various condiments are rejected within 1 year.
The baby is six months old, and now it's time to try solid food.
The principle of adding complementary food should be observed: from less to more, from thin to thick, from fine to coarse, each food should be added separately for three days to see if it is acceptable to the stomach. Before the age of 9- 10 month, add complementary food on the basis of the same amount of raw milk, and feed the complementary food immediately, without interval, and finish it at one time; It will take 9- 10 months for complementary food to replace a milk meal.
6-7 months, mainly mud, 6 months, try to add vegetable paste, 7 months, try to add meat sauce, 8 months, try to add egg yolk and soft rotten food with particles, such as porridge, 9 months, try to add noodles, 10 months, try to add chaos and steamed bread, 1 1 month, try to add soft rice, and gradually transition the thickness.
The purpose of complementary food addition is to exercise the baby's swallowing and chewing ability; See if the baby's stomach accepts new food; Let the baby try the original flavor of the food.
After six months, the baby began to need extra nutrition, especially iron food. But he still needs breast milk or formula until he is one year old. In the first six months of the baby, his digestive system and immune system are gradually strengthened. The baby's body can handle solid food now. The fact that he is in good health means that he is unlikely to react to what he eats. If you want to feed your baby solid food before he is six months old, you should talk to your general practitioner or health visitor first. Six months ago, many foods were not suitable for babies. These foods include gluten in grains, milk and eggs.
Some foods that can be tried within six months: cooked potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter pumpkins, carrots, zucchini, broccoli or cauliflower, and fruit purees, such as ripe ripe apples, pears, mangoes or papaya or fruit purees, such as ripe avocados or bananas, baby rice noodles or other grains.
At the beginning, the food should be fully mashed. Even without teeth, babies can quickly learn to chew soft food. Once the baby eats happily with a spoon and tries to add it for three days without adverse reactions, the variety of food can be increased.
Before one year old, don't add any seasoning except walnut oil, sesame oil and olive oil. Let the baby try the original flavor of the food.
Adding good vegetables before one year old can prevent picky eaters from eating vegetables after one year old.
I am a nutritionist Tong Lishu, welcome to pay attention to get more information!
Babies of 6 months generally start to add complementary food. What can they eat?
At this time, in addition to continuing breastfeeding, other foods need to be added. In order to make up for the deficiency of breast milk nutrition, it is necessary to add complementary food to the baby. The energy provided by complementary food to the baby should account for 1/3- 1/2.
First of all, we should start with foods rich in iron paste and gradually add them to food varieties. Because breast milk is short of iron, the iron reserve in the baby's body is enough for the baby to use for 6 months.
For example: iron-rich rice noodles, minced meat and so on.
Gradually add, only introduce one new food at a time, and continue to add other foods after the new food adapts. Adapt to each new food for 2-3 days, and pay close attention to whether there are problems such as vomiting, diarrhea and rash.
The addition of complementary food should be from thin to thick, from fine to thick, step by step.
First, mushy food gradually transits to solid food. Vegetable oil can be added to complementary food in an appropriate amount.
1, buy rice noodles suitable for the baby at this stage. Rice noodles are more convenient. Sometimes in the morning or when the baby is temporarily hungry and has no time to make complementary food, rice noodles can be made for the baby to eat;
2, according to the baby's teething situation, you can give some rice soup, batter and other foods;
3. Vegetables and fruits can be mashed and made into complementary food for babies. If you feel that it is troublesome to do it yourself, you can also buy fruits, vegetables, meat and fish directly, but you should buy a reliable brand.
Six-month-old baby's complementary food is mainly digestible, such as vegetables, fruits, millet porridge and other meat, but it must be processed into paste at first to facilitate digestion. There is a very important suggestion in the process of feeding, which is the amount of feeding.
Nowadays, many parents, especially grandparents, especially like to feed their children more. During the period of adding complementary food, they think that the more children eat, the more nutrition they will eat, and then the faster they grow, the better. This is a wrong idea, because every child's stomach is born with different development. If it is overfeeded, it will easily cause stomach damage to children. Especially for infants and young children, it is easy to spit and spill milk, indicating that the smooth muscle development of this child's stomach is not very good, and it is impossible to creep the milk into the intestine in time, and then spit milk after eating more. This kind of child is most likely to be fed with stomach damage.
Some treasure moms wonder why children will be partial eclipse, picky eaters and even anorexia after adding complementary food for a period of time. Why do you retch as soon as you eat? How does bad breath appear? How to eat, what to pull, and other manifestations of indigestion are all caused by stomach damage. When this child grows up, you will find that he is not as fat and thin as bean sprouts! Therefore, it is necessary to feed according to the child's digestive ability. The old saying that "if you want to be safe, you must be hungry and cold" and "eat when you are hungry" is still reasonable.
If in doubt, you can trust me privately, pay attention to "nutritionist Tao Jun" and share more professional knowledge about children's nutrition.
Although the 6-month-old baby's diet is mainly milk, some fruits, rice flour and soup can be added to the complementary food. Of course, the fruit should be made into mud. The 6-month-old baby's diet should not be too stimulating, so as not to affect the baby's taste. Diet is only used as a supplementary food. If the baby rejects, don't force the baby too much. After all, every baby's situation is different. It's best not to chew and feed the baby, because there are still bacteria in adults' mouths, so it is not good to infect the baby.
