Beef is mild, rich in protein and low in fat, and it is the meat with the highest iron content. At the same time, it is rich in riboflavin, nicotinic acid, zinc, selenium, vitamins A and B. It is a very good meat food for growing babies, especially those who are prone to physiological anemia from 8 months to 2 years old. Beef nourishes the blood and stomach, supplements calcium and strengthens bones, which is very suitable for babies. Babies aged 3-6 can already eat the unpalatable stewed beef. So parents can prepare beef stew with tomatoes and potatoes, beef stew with carrots and so on. But don't eat too much to avoid indigestion.
However, beef fiber is thick and difficult to digest compared with pork. Therefore, if parents want to give their baby beef, they need to make the beef more delicate and soft to help the baby digest the beef.
Precautions for baby to eat beef?
1, beef selection and practice should pay attention to: beef muscle fiber is long and difficult to digest. It is recommended to give the baby beef tenderloin, which is the most tender part of beef and will not increase the burden on the baby's stomach. Beef is tight and easy to choke the baby. It is recommended to cut the beef into pieces or mash it and cook it for the baby.
2. Don't add meat floss to your baby: Meat floss is generally not made of the best beef, and most of the meat floss is added with bean flour and sesame seeds. The more complex the ingredients, the less digestible they are, and the more likely the baby is to feel uncomfortable or even allergic. ?
3. Don't give your baby beef soup: Because most of these soups are dissolved in fat, trace elements such as calcium in beef still remain in beef and beef bones. ?
4. Pay attention to the addition of complementary food: first add chicken and pork that are easier to chew, and then give the baby beef after the baby adapts. As a complementary food, a small amount should be gradually added, so that the baby can have an adaptation process, especially at the beginning, and special attention should be paid to observing whether the baby has discomfort.
