For babies from 8 months to 3 years old, different age groups add different complementary foods? . As a mother with two babies (Erbao is only 1 year old), I recommend some babies of different ages to be served with porridge and vegetables. It should be the happiest thing for every mother to eat happily and grow up healthily!

first share the tips for adding complementary food to novice mothers

exclusive breastfeeding:

gradually add it after 8 months. If the baby's growth rate is slow or not up to standard in the sixth month, it is necessary to add complementary food in advance.

Pure milk powder feeding:

It should be added gradually from 4 months.

mixed feeding:

it is gradually added between 4 and 6 months according to the baby's growth and development.

The baby can drink porridge from 6-8 months at the earliest. At first, he can drink rice porridge without adding any other ingredients, and then slowly after getting used to it. Here, Sister L uses her five years' practical feeding experience to give you a recommendation of what vegetables to eat porridge with from different ages.

During the mini-baby period of 6-12 months

The baby just started to add complementary food, and the small intestine is still in the process of being confused and excited to adapt. We should not choose too many kinds of vegetables, and we suggest adding only one kind of vegetables at a time, so as to ease the small intestine. Here we recommend several green leafy vegetables, which are rich in nutrients and can care for your baby's delicate stomach.

Green leafy vegetables recommendation 1: Spinach

Babies in this period need to strengthen the nutritional absorption of calcium and iron. Spinach is rich in minerals (calcium and iron) and also contains vitamin C to help iron absorption, which is very suitable for babies who have just added complementary food.

Tips on spinach

A. Spinach needs to be blanched in advance to remove oxalic acid, and the cooking time should not be too long, because vitamin C is easy to oxidize when it is heated, which will affect the absorption of iron.

B. When giving baby spinach porridge, it can better absorb inorganic iron in spinach together with egg yolk.

C. Don't give the baby spinach for dinner to prevent calcium deposition.

Green leafy vegetable recommendation 2: Broccoli

A recent study in Japan proved that the average nutritional value of broccoli ranked first. Its contents of vitamin C, protein and minerals are very high, and it is also rich in folic acid. As far as Chinese medicine is concerned, it is the recommended medicine for babies with weak spleen and stomach and developmental retardation!

tips on broccoli

a. broccoli is not easy to clean, so it needs to be soaked in salt water for a few minutes, which is helpful to remove vegetable worms and pesticide residues.

B. It is not advisable to cook for too long, for fear that the baby can chop it up if it is not digested. Cooking for too long will destroy the magical anti-cancer nutrients it contains.

C. It is a perfect match with millet porridge, which also regulates the spleen and stomach!

During the baby's p>12-month-old period,

The baby has tried many kinds of complementary foods. With the rapid increase of height and weight, you can start to add more green vegetables with richer and more comprehensive nutrients to the porridge. To ensure that the baby gets all-round nutrients and looks great. Recommend two kinds of magical green vegetables, both of which can be called the king of green vegetables. Cooking porridge tastes great, too

Green leafy vegetable recommendation 3: asparagus

With weaning, the baby's immunity needs to be maintained by his own small body. Asparagus contains a variety of amino acids needed by human body, which can help babies improve their immunity, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, stimulate appetite and help digestion. The most amazing thing is that it is rich in vitamin B9, which is also good for the baby's brain nerve development!

Tips on asparagus

A. Asparagus has a high purine content, so it must be cooked thoroughly before it can be given to the baby. When cooking porridge, cook it with porridge for a while.
