I like to cook porridge, and I also like to cook porridge for my children at home, especially in such a cold winter, let alone how warm it is to drink a bowl of porridge. My neighbors' treasure moms all envy my treasure for having warm porridge to drink every day, and I often hear neighbors' treasure moms complain that my children just refuse to drink porridge. There are several small-month-old babies who have reached the middle and late stage of adding complementary food, but they are still reluctant to eat complementary food such as rice porridge.
In fact, there are many benefits to giving your baby some porridge from time to time. Porridge is more suitable for the baby's stomach, because it is very soft and rotten after long-term cooking, and will not stimulate the baby's stomach; At the same time, it is also a good helper to exercise the baby's chewing ability, especially for the baby who just wants to transition from mushy complementary food to a little granular complementary food. It is best to use rice porridge to make the transition.
It's good to give the baby porridge, but meow doesn't advocate giving the baby porridge all the time, especially white rice porridge. Because the nutrition of white rice porridge is low and the water content is high, the baby is full after eating a few mouthfuls. This can't meet the characteristics of "high nutrition and small capacity" of baby complementary food, and besides rich carbohydrates, rice porridge has less other nutrients.
So don't give the baby porridge in this way? Or don't drink white rice porridge. What do you drink?
Want to enrich the nutrition of rice porridge, in fact, it is very simple, just learn to mix more, for example, you can add various vegetables, meat, fish, fruits, miscellaneous grains and other ingredients to the porridge to enrich the taste and nutrition of the porridge. Meow meow roughly divided it into three categories: vegetable and meat porridge, fruit porridge and coarse grain porridge, and simply attached various porridge complementary food practices.
