First, the vegetable puree has no sweetness. If you feed the fruit puree first, it will make the process of adding complementary food difficult in the future. Although both fruit puree and vegetable puree are rich in nutrients, their tastes are quite different. Vegetable puree has no sweetness, while fruit puree is rich in flavor and color. If the baby eats fruit puree first, the baby's taste buds will be strongly stimulated, so that the complementary food outside the fruit puree will lose appetite and even have resistance in the later stage.
Therefore, I suggest that the baby eat vegetable paste first, and then gradually add fruit paste in the complementary food process, so that the complementary food process of the baby will be much smoother.
Second, eating vegetable puree before eating fruit puree can give the baby an adaptive process. The baby's stomach and digestive system are still immature and relatively fragile. The fruit puree contains high sugar, which will harm the baby's digestion and absorption if it is directly eaten by the baby. Moreover, as mentioned above, fruit puree will make the baby's taste heavier, which will also affect the baby's growth and development.
Therefore, it is best to feed the baby rice paste before the baby has added complementary food. The rice flour contains many rich trace elements to meet the baby's growth needs, and it can also avoid the discomfort of the baby in the process of eating complementary food. You can add some rice flour appropriately, and then give the baby some vegetable puree to give the stomach a transition period, and then add fruit puree.
Third, there must be a certain method to add complementary food, which must be carried out step by step. Babies should follow the principle of adding complementary food from less to more and from thin to thick. You can only add one kind of complementary food to your baby every time, and you can replace the other one after eating for a week without adverse reactions, which is more easily accepted by your baby's stomach.
The order of baby's complementary food is: high-iron rice flour-rhizome mud-leafy mud-fruit mud-fish and meat-porridge-noodles-rice. When rice flour is fed for five days to a week, root puree can be added. Seven-month-old babies can change from a single ingredient to a variety of puree, and meat can be added, from white meat to red meat. At the same time, complementary food can be grainy without being too delicate. In eight months, it can be changed from muddy to semi-solid, and half egg yolk or whole egg yolk can be added. In nine to ten months, the complementary food can be changed from one meal to two meals, mainly porridge and noodles. Babies can eat fixed food after eleven months.
4. What other matters should be paid attention to when adding complementary food? First of all, you must choose fresh vegetables and fruits, preferably seasonal ingredients, and pay special attention to whether there are pesticide residues on the vegetables. You can soak the vegetables in rice washing water or put a little salt in the water first, and wash them with flowing water. Secondly, the baby must not add salt to the baby's complementary food before one year old, otherwise it will bring serious harm to the baby's body. Finally, there should be a transition between complementary food and drinking milk. When the baby eats complementary food, he must consume enough milk to protect the baby's growth and development needs.
Conclusion Parents should pay attention to the method of adding complementary food, and must let the baby's stomach have an adaptation process first, so that the baby can accept the taste of complementary food faster and better. When the baby starts to drool when watching adults eat, it means that the baby can start feeding complementary food. Generally speaking, don't feed complementary food to the baby four months in advance or eight months later. As long as you follow the above methods, you can let your baby add complementary food naturally and healthily.
