The reasons are as follows:
Six-month-old babies have far more nutritional needs than newborns, so they can't rely solely on breastfeeding. They must use other suitable foods as nutritional supplements.
Protein in millet is higher than that in rice. In addition, millet also contains all vitamins and carbohydrates found in other cereals, among which the content of vitamins also exceeds that of rice, which is suitable for the nutritional needs of infants. Spinach contains a lot of water-soluble vitamins such as chlorophyll, B vitamins, vitamin C, and other nutrients such as carotene, which are necessary for the growth and development of babies.
Cooking porridge is different from cooking, and it is easier to digest and absorb. Accord with that physiological characteristics of baby.
The following aspects should not be neglected:
Feeding a baby with millet and spinach porridge for six months can only be used as a supplementary food, not as a staple food;
In addition to breast milk or milk powder, porridge with millet and spinach is not the only choice for baby food supplement, and it can also be used alternately with other foods or several suitable ingredients. Such as fruit juice, cooked and mashed egg yolk, etc.;
Any complementary food must be cooked thoroughly when processed, including porridge, so that it is hygienic and easy to digest for the baby.
Therefore, as long as the method is proper, a six-month-old baby can eat porridge cooked with millet and spinach.
