7-9 months? 10-12 months "Mommy Must Learn" Beibi two-stage supplementary food menu can be used at once! Before the baby is 4 to 6 months old, milk is the main source of nutrition. After 4 to 6 months, non-staple foods need to be added to supplement more nutrients. Many mothers are struggling with how to add supplementary food to their babies - how to supplement calcium and iron? Can I eat food I am allergic to? This article invites two experts to help moms easily handle all matters related to their baby's diet. Stages of Development & Nutritional Information from 0 to 1 Years Old 4 to 6 Months

Huang Qingfeng, Director of the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, said that this stage is the best time to add non-staple foods. When the support of the baby's neck becomes stronger, the baby opens his mouth when seeing food, and shows the desire to swallow (the mouth opens and closes), you can start to let the baby try non-staple food.

Since the first nutrient that babies will lack after birth is iron, at this time, the baby should be given rice essence or wheat paste that contains a lot of iron. Director Huang Qingfeng reminded mothers not to confuse rice essence and porridge. If the baby only eats porridge as a non-staple food between 4 and 6 months old, not only will it not be able to effectively supplement iron, but there will also be a risk of swallowing. 7 to 9 months

Lin Mengyu, leader of the nutritional therapy department of Zhenxing Hospital, analyzed that according to the 2011 Taiwan Infant and Child Nutritional Status Survey, babies between 7 and 9 months of age have an average of folic acid, magnesium, iron and For the problem of insufficient zinc intake, it is recommended that mothers feed their babies more foods containing the above vitamins and minerals. At this time, the chewing function has begun to develop. You can slice bananas and steam carrots until soft and let the baby eat them by themselves. The key points of adding supplementary food at this stage are as follows:

1. Follow the principle of "less → more" and gradually increase the amount and frequency of feeding.

2. The order of addition is vegetables first, fruits second, and meat last. You can start adding protein-containing foods after 8 months.

3. If you want to give new food, it is recommended to let the baby try 1 to 2 teaspoons a day for 3 to 5 days.

4. At this time, the tongue is developing, and there is so-called "tongue chewing". The material of non-staple food should be mainly coarse mud, so that the food can retain fine particles, and do not beat it too thinly or too mushy.

5. There is no need to add seasonings when making non-staple food, allowing babies to be exposed to the natural flavor of food and try the taste of different ingredients.

6. Food is still the main source of nutrition at this stage and cannot be completely replaced by non-staple food. 10 to 12 months

According to the 2011 Nutritional Status Survey of Infants and Toddlers in Taiwan, babies aged 10 to 12 months have an average intake of magnesium, iron and zinc. It is recommended that mothers give their babies Eat foods containing magnesium, iron or zinc. At this time, food and non-staple food each account for half of the calorie source. The key points of adding non-staple food at this stage are as follows:

1. In order for the baby to obtain balanced nutrition, the diversity of food should be increased and the baby should be given more food. Exposure to different foods.

2. At this time, the longer the deciduous teeth are, the more pure the food can be replaced with semi-pure, diced or soft solid food to train the baby's chewing ability. 7 to 9 months? 10 to 12 months "Moms Must Learn" Beibi's two-stage non-staple food menu can be used at once! QWhat foods cannot be eaten before the age of 1?

A: Babies under 1 year old cannot drink milk, honey, cheese, peanut butter (directly fed with a spoon), nuts, gummy candies, foods with seeds and other foods with a high risk of choking. Director Huang Qingfeng explained that the nutritional content and proportion of milk are different from breast milk and formula milk. In addition to electrolyte imbalance, babies who drink fresh milk may also suffer from protein imbalance, iron deficiency, and increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Honey contains botulinum toxin spores. After botulinum spores germinate, they will produce botulinum toxin, which can cause muscle relaxation and respiratory failure. Infants and young children with poor immunity are at high risk of infection. In addition to food, Director Huang Qingfeng also reminded that it is best not to add any seasonings, especially sugar, when making supplementary food for babies under 1 year old. He emphasized that sugar itself has no nutrients, and most of it is calories. Eating too much sugar not only puts babies at risk of obesity, but also spoils their taste. Q What should I do if my baby doesn’t like to eat non-staple food?

A: There are many possible reasons why babies reject non-staple food, including being choked during meals, getting sick when changing non-staple food, or being picky or picky eaters. At this time, it is best not to use force or scolding to treat the child. You might as well try the following methods:

1. Give a small amount at the beginning, and then gradually increase the amount.

2. When trying a new food, if the baby doesn’t want to eat it, you can skip it temporarily without forcing the baby to eat it.

3. Show relish during meals to stimulate your baby's interest in food.

4. After the baby is able to grasp the tableware, let the baby eat by himself. Do not blame the baby for soiling his clothes.

5. Before starting to feed non-staple food, parents should discuss a unified approach with the main caregiver (elder in the family or nanny) to avoid leaving the baby at a loss.

6. When the baby takes the initiative to try non-staple food, the reaction should not be too exaggerated, just respond with a calm attitude. Q What are the principles or taboos for calcium and iron supplementation?

A: Director Huang Qingfeng pointed out that many parents often supplement their babies with calcium but forget the importance of iron. In fact, the younger the child is, the more iron he or she needs to supplement; after 4 months, he or she has not started eating. It is necessary to start supplementing iron with non-staple food, so as to avoid iron deficiency. Since calcium and iron compete for absorption, it is recommended that calcium-containing foods and iron-containing foods be given separately. Eat calcium-containing foods at one meal and iron-containing foods at the next meal. Phytic acid will prevent the body from absorbing calcium and iron. When supplementing calcium and iron, remember to avoid cereals or vegetables containing phytic acid. QIs it normal to have food residue in feces?

A: There may be food residues in the feces. Corn and carrots are the most common, followed by enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and fungus. This is because fruits and vegetables contain more coarse fiber than other foods, which is difficult to be absorbed by the intestines and is excreted in the feces. The younger the child, the poorer the intestinal absorption, and food residues are more likely to appear in the feces. This is normal and there is no need to worry too much. As long as the baby's overall development is within the standard range and there are no signs of malnutrition, there is generally no problem. If you want to improve this situation, you can grind the food more finely, which will naturally increase the intestinal absorption ratio. QWhat symptoms are signs of food allergy?

A: The symptoms of allergies are very diverse and usually appear a few hours after eating certain foods, including skin rash, itching, runny nose, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, and restless crying. Among them, rash and diarrhea are the most common. Since the symptoms of allergies and many diseases overlap, if it is not possible to determine whether it is a viral infection or allergy at first, it is recommended to temporarily stop supplying "possible allergenic foods" and let your baby try it again in a few days. If the baby shows the same symptoms, it can be confirmed that it is an allergy. 7 to 9 months? 10 to 12 months "Moms Must Learn" Beibi's two-stage non-staple food menu can be used at once! Adding non-staple food too late may cause malnutrition in the baby.

Many parents will encounter many problems when adding non-staple food to their baby. The most common situation is to add non-staple food to the baby too slowly. Generally speaking, milk must be downgraded to complementary food after one year old. At this time, if the baby is still allowed to drink milk every four hours, it will lead to nutritional deficiencies and limited development of the baby. Director Huang Qingfeng said that this kind of case is often encountered in outpatient clinics, and the parents' reason is often that "the baby doesn't want to eat non-staple food, but only wants to drink milk." In fact, children's eating habits are established by adults. As long as they gradually add non-staple foods, they can gradually change their eating patterns. It depends on whether adults are determined to adjust their practices.

In addition, many parents are afraid to feed their babies egg whites, shelled seafood, kiwi fruits and other foods because they are afraid that their babies will be allergic. However, as early as 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics announced a revision of the recommendation that "allergenic foods are prohibited for children under 1 year old." Unless the baby develops allergic symptoms after eating specific foods, the baby will not be restricted from eating protein, seafood and other foods. Director Huang Qingfeng pointed out that foreign studies have confirmed that delaying the introduction of allergenic foods will not reduce the risk of allergies, and many foods that are considered to cause allergies are rich in nutrients. For example, shellfish and mussels are rich in zinc, and eggs are a type of high-quality protein with a high CP value. They are very suitable as a source of nutrition for babies. Overcorrecting may cause babies to miss the opportunity to absorb multiple nutrients.

How should children under 1 year old take probiotics?

Probiotics can promote your baby’s gastrointestinal health and reduce the chances of diarrhea and allergies. There are many benefits. However, the probiotic strains of each brand are different. It is recommended to take a small amount at the beginning, and then include it in the daily diet if the baby does not vomit or have diarrhea.
