Introduction: With the growth of the baby, the demand for nutrition is increasing, and complementary food can be added in 5 or 6 months. Rice soup is nutritious and suitable for children. So, what effect does the rice soup we usually drink have on the baby?

First, the benefits of baby drinking rice soup 1. Tonifying spleen and stomach rice soup is rich in vitamins, nicotinic acid, phosphorus, iron and other inorganic salts, as well as certain nutrients such as carbohydrates and fat, which has the functions of benefiting qi, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Drinking glutinous rice soup is good for digestion and fat absorption, and is good for children's health and development. 2. Increasing appetite Rice soup helps to improve intestinal peristalsis. Besides, starch is good for the stomach. Moreover, rice soup can promote the secretion of digestive juice, increase appetite and make children's appetite open. 3. Prevent dehydration. Children sweat a lot in summer, which will cause water loss. In addition, children with fever, vomiting and diarrhea can also cause dehydration. At this time, drinking a bowl of rice soup for children can effectively replenish water for children and prevent water loss.

Second, how to correctly drink rice soup 1. Generally speaking, whether it is artificial feeding or mixed feeding, the baby can add rice soup after 6 months. Rice soup has high nutritional value, which can promote the production of amylase and supplement vitamins for children, but how much to eat depends on the baby's gastrointestinal function. 2. When parents add rice soup to their children, they should pay attention to the addition from small to large and from thin to thick, and pay close attention to the baby's diet and mental state during the addition process. 3. After the rice soup is cooked, feed the baby with a small spoon every day, and the amount will gradually increase from half a spoon to 1-2 spoons. When parents give their baby rice soup for the first time, they can observe whether the baby has any adverse reactions. If there are no adverse reactions, add more for the second time. 4. Rice soup is high in nutrients, but it cannot be eaten with milk at the same time, because a lipoxygenase in rice soup will destroy vitamin A in milk, which is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients.

Amylase secreted by infants does not reach 1/3 of that of adults until 3 ~ 4 months. If starch supplements such as rice soup and rice flour are added within 4 months, it will lead to indigestion. Therefore, it must be four months before you can give the baby rice soup.
