Mothers transition to the life of new mothers after giving birth to babies. The first few months are the same learning period for the baby and the mother. The mother follows the instructions of the elderly and provides the baby with breast milk all day. But after the baby is 7 months old, breast milk can no longer meet the growth needs of the child. So how can the baby be fed after 9 months? What is the feeding time?
During the 9-month period of infants, their bodies are constantly developing and growing, so are some of his organs, senses and cognitive behavior abilities. In the period of rapid growth, a lot of energy and various nutrients are needed. Breast-fed babies, even if they have enough breast milk, can't fully supply the nutrients they need every day, so they must add enough complementary food. It is estimated that 99% of iron, 75% of zinc, 80% of vitamin B6 and 50% of vitamin C must be obtained from added complementary foods. And you can gradually experience and adapt to a variety of foods through contact, feeling and trying.
During this period, the baby needs to drink 3-4 meals of milk every day, and some complementary foods can be added at 8: 00, 10, and in the afternoon. For babies who don't like to drink milk, it is necessary to strengthen the types of complementary foods and add more protein and pasta to ensure balanced nutrition. Nine-month-old babies can accept more kinds of complementary foods, and because of the enhancement of their digestive system and chewing ability, they can give them some solid foods at this time, such as fruit slices. It is also an important step for children to learn to "eat" by adding different kinds and textures of food at the right time at the age of 9 months. Chewing by themselves is beneficial to the development of gastrointestinal function, the eruption of deciduous teeth, and the development of bones and muscles in the head and face, which plays an important role in the development of articulation and language in the future.
While ensuring the baby's adequate nutrition, the mother should also cultivate the baby's good habit of eating complementary food by himself. The advantage is to satisfy the baby's desire to do it by himself and choose food by himself, stimulate the sense of touch, exercise the flexibility and coordination of hands, enhance self-confidence, cultivate independence and let the baby develop better in the future.
