The correct way for babies to eat rice noodles for the first time is as follows:
When babies eat rice noodles for the first time, they need to choose fine rice noodles as much as possible, because the baby’s gastrointestinal function is not fully developed. Coarse rice cereal may cause indigestion in infants. In addition, pay attention to the brewing method, control the intake, and control the brewing concentration. Generally, you need to scoop the rice noodles with a spoon to avoid scooping too much, because when adding complementary foods, you need to follow the principle from less to more.
Then observe the baby's reaction. If there is no obvious discomfort after eating, you can slowly increase the amount of rice noodles. Because when babies first start eating rice noodles, their chewing functions are not yet fully developed. If the rice noodles are made too thick, babies are prone to coughing and choking, so make the rice noodles as thin as possible.
Precautions for babies to eat rice noodles for the first time
The ideal temperature of the water used to prepare baby rice noodles is 70℃-80℃. Because the temperature of the water is too low, the rice noodles are not suitable for melting and will form into small pieces of different sizes, making it difficult for the baby to swallow, the taste will decrease, and it is not conducive to digestion and absorption; the water temperature is too high, and the water-soluble nutrients in the rice noodles will also be lost. outflow, so parents who like to prepare rice noodles and then cook them want to change the preparation method.
4-month-old babies often don’t hold a spoon when they eat rice noodles for the first time. Parents can make the rice noodles thinner and feed them with glass bottles. After the baby has integrated into the texture of rice flour, feed it with a special baby bowl or spoon. Put the rice noodles directly into the bowl, then add an appropriate amount of boiling water according to the baby's needs, and mix in one direction until it becomes thick.
