Mainly because children's digestive ability is still relatively weak, so liquid and nutritious breast milk or milk powder is the easiest food for children to digest and absorb!
Six months later, my mother started to work and bought enough milk powder for her grandmother to feed at home. Adding complementary food began with rice paste and lasted for more than half a month. A month later, grandma began to cook some rotten porridge and rice for the ball. In the eighth month, grandma will go to the market to buy some fresh pork and some carrots and pumpkins. Make green noodles or porridge for the ball. He especially likes to eat these colorful foods. A person can eat a small bowl.
Grandma likes to eat football and is very happy. She cooks all kinds of complementary food for football every day. Because I like to eat complementary food, football gradually has less desire for milk. Grandma's heart is still very traditional. She thinks that children can only grow up by eating and eating vegetables, but every time the mother-in-law comes home, she tells her mother-in-law that you give her 800 ml of milk every day, at least 600 ml at home during the day, and I will give her 1~2 times at night.
I will also observe the milk powder cans at home from time to time to see if the milk powder has been drunk. Grandma thinks that grandson likes to eat complementary food, and eating complementary food will definitely be good. She was also worried that her daughter-in-law found that she didn't give her children enough milk, so she secretly poured some milk powder every day, so she only drank 200~300 ml of milk at home every day.
This lasted for nearly a month. At the age of 9 months, the mother took the ball to the physical examination. The doctor measured the child's length and weight, and then compared the data of last month, saying that the child was basically not long this month. Are you sick or something? Mom said that the child was not sick, and grandma fed the child at home, so she drank complementary food and ate well.
At this time, my grandmother knew that she was in trouble, and told the doctor hesitantly that I think children like to eat complementary food, so I only drink about 200 ml of milk at home every day. I drink less milk, but children eat more complementary food. The doctor said that at this time, the child's digestive ability is not very strong, the nutritional value of breast milk or milk powder is relatively high, and the child's absorption rate is relatively high, so it is recommended to give priority to milk. After 8 months, you give your child complementary food, so that the food that your child can't digest is easy to pull out no matter what you eat. If he can't digest natural nutrition, he can't absorb it. Of course, the child will not gain weight, so be sure to give him enough milk.
It is recommended that children be completely fed by their mothers or milk powder before 6 months.
The child's digestion was weak six months ago. It is recommended to give children pure breast milk. If it really doesn't work, give the child infant formula, that is, milk powder for a period of time, at least 600~ 1000 ml per day.
6 months to 12 months, mainly milk, supplemented by complementary food.
After six months, children can't simply drink milk to meet the needs of growth and development, but also add complementary food to their children. Adding complementary food to children can not only replenish energy, but also the most important thing is that the iron absorption rate in complementary food is higher, so the 1 complementary food we add to children must be high-speed rice flour or minced meat and liver mud, which can supplement enough iron for children, which is beneficial to the development of children's brain and the enhancement of immunity.
From one to three years old, food is the staple food, and milk is also indispensable.
After a child is one year old, the calories provided by food will exceed 50%, and the milk quantity will gradually decrease, but the milk quantity of 400~600 ml should be guaranteed every day, because milk can provide high-quality protein and is rich in calcium, which is also indispensable for the growth and development of children. But we should gradually enrich children's food types and expose them to all kinds of food. Different foods have different nutritional values. Moreover, in the process of eating vegetables, you can also exercise your child's teeth and chewing ability, so that children can slowly transition to an adult diet. But children's food before the age of three must be cooked separately, because children's food needs to be light, and the salt they eat every day should be controlled within two grams. Children's oil must be vegetable oil, and various vegetable oils are eaten alternately in order to supplement children with more unsaturated fatty acids.
Children should eat at least 12 kinds of food every day and at least 25 kinds of food every week, which can provide different nutrition for children and make them eat more fragrant.
As for how to make children eat better, it is suggested that parents can buy a book "What complementary food to eat every week" written by Liu Changwei, a child nutritionist?
Dr. Liu Changwei works as a child nutritionist in a hospital, and also popularizes various nutritional supplements for children on the Internet for mothers.

It can be said that when mom gets this book, she can avoid many pits and let her children grow up better, smarter and healthier.
