1, 0 to 6 months

The baby doesn't need any complementary food at all. Breast milk and formula milk can provide adequate nutrition for babies. Infants who are exclusively breastfed are not allowed to add water or other drinks to their babies. Breast milk can provide everything a baby needs. The baby's stomach is very small. Drinking water will affect the baby's drinking milk and affect the baby's weight gain. Babies who drink formula milk only need to add some boiled water to their babies in hot summer.

Babies from 0 to 6 months can only suck, but they are not good at chewing and swallowing. When foreign objects enter their mouths, they will push them out with their tongues to protect themselves. It is not suitable to add any solid complementary food at this time. This reaction of the tongue will disappear when the baby is four to six months old, and then it is possible to add food.

2, 6 months

At the age of six months, the baby began to add complementary food. At this time, the baby can sit up straight and accept complementary food, but step by step. At this time, the baby began to grow teeth.

You can start with rice flour and milk at the earliest, not too thick at first, and then gradually increase the fruit puree and vegetable puree such as apples, pears and bananas.

If you are afraid of single nutrition, you can consider preparing rice noodles with formula milk. There are many baby rice noodles in the market. Mix with 60-90 ml formula milk and appropriate amount of rice flour to make paste. Not too thick at first, just like yogurt. Have a meal in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Later, rice flour+vegetable puree and rice flour+vegetable puree were gradually added. Apples and pears were first used as purees, peeled and pitted, boiled in a pot and mashed with a juicer. Vegetables can be cauliflower and some root vegetables, boiled and mashed for the baby to eat.

3, 7 to 9 months

Babies in this period have begun to hold food with their fingers. At the age of 8 or 9 months, you can start to give your baby some vegetables and fruits made by hand. First, they can cook sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, apples and pears. Baby's rice noodles, vegetable puree and fruit puree can also be thicker, and you can even eat some small fruit particles, with as many varieties as possible.

At this stage, the baby can increase carrots, pears, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes and other vegetables and more fruits, including bananas, papayas and peaches that can be eaten raw. At this time, the baby can start adding chicken and yogurt. Yogurt is the easiest milk food to digest and absorb, but it is best to choose white yogurt without pigment for your baby, and you can add homemade fruit puree, which is more nutritious.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes can't be beaten in the grinder. They can only be crushed with a spoon or fork for the baby to eat, otherwise they will become very sticky, making it impossible for the baby to swallow smoothly, and sometimes they will stick to the mouth and cause vomiting.

Because you don't need salt, you might as well add some fruits, such as apples and grapes, when your baby cooks. Doudou's favorite dish at this time is chicken and sweet potato, and the last few peeled sweet grapes are broken together.

4,9 to 12 months

At this stage, the baby can start eating with his hands, increase the food he eats with his hands, eat some small pieces of food, and no longer use them all to make mud. You can start eating snacks such as rice cakes and some snacks specially prepared for your baby, and you can start drinking water from cups and straws. On the basis of the previous stage, pork, mutton, beef, egg yolk, cheese, tofu, beans, spinach, peas and oats can be added.

At this stage, we should pay attention to let the baby contact with all kinds of food as much as possible, and we can give the baby more cooked vegetables and soft fruits to eat with our hands.

5, one year old to one and a half years old

After half a year's training, at the age of one, it is time for mothers to exercise their babies to join a big family and eat family food. At this time, the baby can eat normal meals at home, just need to chop or crush the meals first. They should be able to eat by themselves with spoons, but at first they will eat less and spill more.

You can start drinking whole milk and eating whole eggs, and you can basically eat all kinds of food: fish, seafood, whole broccoli and cauliflower, all kinds of melons, mangoes, kiwis, Xinger, grapefruit, half a grape (the whole one is easy to choke your baby), strawberries, tomatoes, pasta, white flour, honey and so on.

6, more than one and a half years old

After one and a half years old, the baby can basically eat all the meals at home, but pay attention to adding less salt. We try to cook together, but first we have to take out the baby's food and add some salt and seasoning to what we eat.

At this time, the baby has begun to have his own ideas. They often say "no" to food, and some start to be picky about food and start to sit still.

At this time, the baby began to grow teeth. Some babies will have different degrees of discomfort during teething. Sometimes I don't like it, but it usually passes quickly. When the baby doesn't like to eat, he must drink enough milk and water.
