There is no exact data on the ratio of rice flour to water, which is completely determined according to the baby's month and adaptability. When the baby first comes into contact with rice noodles, he can make the rice noodles fine first, and then make them coarse slowly.
The water temperature of rice noodles is too high, and the nutrition in rice noodles is easy to lose; If the water temperature is too low, the rice flour will not dissolve, and it will agglomerate when mixed together, and the baby will have indigestion after eating it. The suitable water temperature is 70-80 degrees Celsius, so it should be no problem to soak rice noodles with hot water in the ordinary household water dispenser. Note that mom doesn't have to cook the cooked rice noodles again, otherwise the water-soluble nutrients in the rice noodles will be easily destroyed. The suitable water temperature for making rice noodles is 70-80 degrees Celsius.

Matters needing attention in eating baby rice noodles
What babies need most in their growth stage is protein. The content of protein in rice flour is low, which can not meet the needs of infant growth and development. If only rice flour is used instead of milk, there will be protein deficiency.
The specific manifestations are: slow growth and development, affecting the growth of baby's nervous system, blood system and muscles, and low resistance, lack of immunoglobulin, prone to glass. Therefore, infants under 1 year old should still be based on formula milk powder.
Babies fed with rice flour for a long time have a slow growth in height, but their weight does not necessarily drop. Instead, it is white and fat, and the skin is full of fat converted from excessive sugar intake, which is called mud paste in medicine. However, these children are weak in the outside, often suffering from anemia, rickets, bronchitis, pneumonia and other diseases.
Some parents, it is even more inappropriate to add rice flour food in the newborn period. Pancreatic amylase will not reach the adult level until the baby is about 4 months old, so don't add rice flour food within 4 months. After 4 months, feed some rice flour food properly, but not just rice flour. Even if it is mixed with milk, it should be mainly milk, supplemented by rice flour.
How to make baby rice noodles at home 2 What is baby rice noodles made of?
Infant rice flour is an auxiliary food for supplementing infant nutrition and weaning. It is an infant supplementary food made of rice as the main raw material, supplemented by optional ingredients such as sugar, vegetables, fruits, eggs and meat, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins.
Baby rice noodles are relatively purer, more scientific and closer to adult food. With the improvement of modern science and technology, the nutritional elements of most baby rice noodles are becoming more and more comprehensive and rich. For example, in addition to conventional elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine and zinc, vitamins A, D, E, C and B are added, as well as folic acid and pantothenic acid unique to breast milk. In order to meet the nutritional needs of infants at different stages and maintain a comprehensive and balanced infant nutrition, according to international practice, infant rice flour feeding is usually divided into three stages: 4-24 months, 6-24 months and 8-24 months.
How to make baby rice noodles
In order to ensure the baby's food safety, many mothers want to make baby rice noodles by themselves. There are only four steps to make baby rice noodles, namely selecting rice, grinding rice, frying rice and making rice noodles. To make baby rice noodles, you need to grind the rice very finely, and you can grind it with a grinder or an auxiliary food processor with grinding function, so it is very simple to make baby rice noodles. If the ground rice flour can't be eaten up, it can be put in a bag and sealed.
The specific production steps of self-made baby rice noodles are as follows:
1, rice selection: select the best rice, wash it, dry the washed brown rice, and carefully pick out the impurities inside.
2. Preparation of auxiliary materials: In addition to rice, we can also add some other auxiliary materials to increase the nutrition of rice noodles, such as brain-nourishing walnuts, kidney-tonifying coix seed, digestion-aiding yam and chicken's gizzard-membrane, blood-nourishing black beans and clear-fire lotus seeds. These can be ground into powder and put into rice flour.
3. Stir-fry and grind into powder: First, we put the prepared rice in the pot and stir-fry for 3 minutes, then dump it; Then put the prepared auxiliary materials into a pot and fry for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat. Pour the rice into the pot and stir well. After cooling, take the powder and grind it. Parents should pay attention to that the powder of baby rice flour should be ground at least three times, because the more times it is ground, the more delicate it is, which is more conducive to the baby's eating.
4. Preservation: After the rice noodles are cooled, if they are not eaten immediately, they should be packed in clean food-grade self-sealing bags so that they can be taken at any time in the future, and kept in a cool place to prevent moisture. Be careful, don't cook too many rice noodles at a time, it is easy to get insects if it is not preserved well or for too long.
Reminder: homemade rice noodles may be safer, but the baby rice noodles sold outside contain various nutrients, and the nutritional value is close to breast milk. The disadvantage of self-made rice flour is that its nutritional value is not high, and accessories need to be added.
How to eat baby rice noodles
1. Take out a proper amount of rice flour with a measuring spoon of milk powder (the amount depends on the child), and the ratio of water to flour should be at least 5: 1.
2. Pour it into a small pot (iron spoon will do), and then add an appropriate amount of cold/warm water. Don't use boiling water.
3. Then put it on the gas stove and adjust the gas from a small fire.
4. Then stir repeatedly in the pot with chopsticks until you smell the rice paste.
Of course, you can also add some other complementary foods, such as vegetable foam/juice, meat foam/soup, tomato juice and so on. When you add these things, you need less water at first, then pour the juice in when you are halfway through stirring, and then stir until you smell the rice paste.
Note: the rice flour should not be too thick at first, but should be diluted, and then gradually transition to thick rice flour. The feeding of baby rice flour is gradually increased from 1~2 spoonfuls at the beginning to 3~4 spoonfuls, and it is more appropriate to feed it twice a day.
The practice of baby's supplementary food of rice flour
Rice flour complementary food practice 1:
1, soak the rice for more than 2 hours, take it out and put it in a blender.
2. Add any kind of vegetable or fruit (such as cooked corn kernels) into a blender and stir it into a mud lake.
3. Pour into the milk pot and add some water, stir with a spoon while heating, and boil into a sticky paste.
Note: Sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot and vegetables can be added. Mix them together according to the baby's taste. Older babies can also add shrimp. This homemade rice noodle is fresh and nutritious, and the method is simple.
Rice noodle complementary food practice 2:
1, use 3 Jin of rice to grind it into powder, and it is best to add some calcium tablets to the rice and grind it into powder together, so that the baby will not be short of calcium.
2. Add a proper amount of cold water to the raw flour and stir well. Remember to stir the rice noodles when you pour them into a small pot, otherwise they will easily agglomerate until they become mushy. Or boil cold water first, then steam it in water, and stir it constantly when it is thick. The method of steaming with water will not easily get angry.
3. Add other foods appropriately and make a nutritious meal. Water can also be replaced by vegetable soup, such as carrot soup. When the baby has teeth, you can add minced meat, egg yolk, spinach, carrot pieces, etc. to the rice flour to change the baby's taste every day.
Rice noodle complementary food practice three:
1, take 50-60g of rice, wash it with clear water and soak it for one or two hours. Try to take a grain of rice. You can pinch off your nails and grind the rice.
2. pour some water out, but leave some water, so it will be much easier to grind. When rice is ground into rice slurry, the rice grains will become fine powder, which will drip down from the porcelain pestle.
3. Scoop out half of the rice slurry, add three times of water, and heat it in the pot. Keep stirring during heating. When the rice paste is almost cooked and turned into rice paste, add an egg yolk.
4. After continuous stirring, cover the pot and simmer for a while until the rice noodles and egg yolks are completely cooked. Squeezed green vegetable juice or carrot juice can also be added.
Note: once ground rice paste, the baby can have two meals, and the remaining half of rice paste can be kept in the refrigerator for one day.
Misunderstandings that babies should avoid when eating rice noodles.
Myth 1: Wash rice noodles with boiling water.
Many people think that rice noodles can be dissolved better when washed with boiling water, and then cooled for the baby to eat. Many people also make milk powder. However, rice flour contains many nutrients, such as whey protein and vitamins. When it comes to high-temperature boiling water, the molecular structure will be destroyed, so the nutritional value of rice noodles will be greatly reduced. Besides, mineral water is not allowed.
The correct way: after the water is boiled, let it cool for a while, wait until it is 60-70 degrees, then pour it into the rice flour and stir well.
Myth 2: Wash rice noodles with vegetable soup or juice.
I often see many baby recipes, and I will suggest that mothers mix vegetable juice or fruit juice in rice noodles for their babies to eat. Many mothers may also think that washing rice noodles with water is tasteless, and adding some juice or vegetable juice is delicious and healthy. In fact, fruit juice or vegetable juice is not suitable for babies to drink, because the main component of fruit juice is sugar, so it is best for babies not to consume too much polysaccharide, and cooking vegetable juice is not particularly recommended. What we want is the nutrients and vitamins in vegetables, which are destroyed too much in the heating process and lose their original meaning.
The correct way: it is generally recommended that you brew rice noodles with water or milk, and do not brew them with other things. If you want your baby to eat some vegetables and fruits while eating rice noodles, mashed vegetables or fruits will be more suitable for your baby.
Myth 3: adding some salt and sugar tastes better.
All mothers who have tasted rice noodles know that rice noodles are very light, neither sweet nor salty. It's tasteless. The baby doesn't like it! Babies like sweet food, so some parents try to add some sugar to it. Some parents secretly add some salt to it, thinking that eating salt in advance is strength.
The correct way:/kloc-babies under 0/year old don't need any condiments, especially salt. Salt will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys, and excessive salt will even lead to organ damage. Eating too much polysaccharide can also lead to obesity in children.
Myth 4: Feeding rice noodles with bottles
Some mothers think that adding rice noodles to the baby at first can make it thinner. They can use a bottle with a big hole nipple for the baby to eat by himself. In fact, this is wrong! The significance of complementary food is to let the baby gradually progress from drinking milk to adult's eating style. Feeding the baby rice noodles with a bottle, the baby will directly inhale the rice noodles into his mouth and then swallow them directly. The whole process is simple and rude, and the baby's feeding method has not changed or improved.
The correct way: when feeding rice noodles to your baby, feed them slowly with a small spoon, and put a small amount of rice noodles behind your baby's tongue to let your baby feel the taste of food and the feeling of putting them in your mouth. Let the baby learn to eat and learn to chew and swallow food with the movement of tongue and mouth. It is best to feed rice noodles with a soft silicone spoon ~
Myth 5: Rice flour is the staple food.
Some mothers think that the rice flour added by the baby can be used as the staple food just like the adult rice, so they gradually reduce the feeding of breast milk or formula milk and increase the amount and frequency of rice flour eaten by the baby. This practice is wrong. As an auxiliary food, rice flour is an auxiliary food as its name implies. The nutrition that babies need most comes from protein in breast milk and formula milk.
Correct practice:/kloc-The rations for babies under 0/year old should still be mainly breast milk or formula milk, supplemented by complementary foods such as rice flour.
