What complementary foods do six month old babies need to add?

Although 6-month-old babies can practice swallowing and chewing, they are more likely to use rice cereal or puree. In fact, the main thing is to drink milk, and complementary food is still an auxiliary role.

Puree: pumpkin puree, mashed potatoes, mashed yams, pureed peas, purple sweet potato, pureed carrots, and some greens can be made into puree, you can buy a grinding bowl for your baby, this is very good for making puree.

There are also fruit purees: apple puree, banana puree, pears can also be pureed when cooked, and avocados are also good for bananas.

Porridge: cabbage rice cereal, broccoli rice cereal, carrot rice cereal, beef rice cereal, pumpkin rice cereal, can also be made into millet, in fact, I think millet is more suitable for children than rice.

I also added fish when he was six months old, I chose dragon fish, if the conditions are more you can also choose silver cod, so you can add it to the six-month baby.

I spread the eggs into small cakes, put the steamed cod on the egg cakes, roll them up, and cut them for the baby to catch and eat.

I don't care too much about the child's eating, because he eats better, at 10 months he has been able to eat well by himself, about 1 year old spoon is used very well, in my opinion the child try not to feed, from the beginning of his ability to eat complementary food, his hands can grasp things can start to let him eat independently, try not to help him, so that the child grows up to eat strongly, and does not need others to chase and feed.

There are also some foods that can not be eaten by children, pay more attention to themselves, similar to mango, which is generally easy for children to be allergic, so until now I am 3 and a half years old I still refuse to give him mango, the rest of the complementary food in fact, you can try it for your child, meat as little as possible, you can add, but as little as possible, because meat is more difficult for babies to digest, you can eat some fish or chicken, others can be added later.

My baby is now four and a half months old, and I am going to start adding complementary food to him next month, because the best time for babies to add complementary food is four months to six months, so I am ready to add complementary food to the child in another month, because at that time he is already five and a half months old.

So during this period of time, I also read some ** about adding complementary food, as well as articles, in my opinion, the best time to add complementary food to children is when they are six months old, and the first bite of complementary food for children should be rice noodles of high-speed rail, why?

Because when the child is breastfeeding, the breast milk lacks iron, so when adding complementary food to the child, the first bite of the complementary food should be mainly high-speed rail.

Secondly, add paste-like foods to your child, such as carrots, radishes, apples, etc., after cooking, grind them into a paste with a food supplement, and then feed them to the baby.

Because the child is still young, the process of adding complementary foods is from paste, small granules, granules, and then slowly transitions to the food that adults eat.

But in my mother's opinion, it is good for the child to boil some rice oil on top of the rice porridge, or stew an egg for the child, or eat some egg yolk, but in my opinion, scientific feeding must take into account that the vitamins in the food are not reached because of some vitamins in breast milk.

And when feeding the child complementary food, after all, he is still young, but also consider whether the child is allergic, if the child is fed, the first bite of the thing is allergic, then this thing will have to be put for a few months before you can eat again.

Vegetable water or fruit juice:

Wash and chop fresh vegetables or fruits, boil the water in the ratio of one bowl of vegetables to one bowl of water, then put the cut vegetables or fruits into the pot, cover and cook for 5 minutes, after a little cold, strain out the water and serve.

2.Fruit puree:

Raw fruit puree is to wash apples or bananas, cut the apples in half, peel off one side of the banana, scrape them with a spoon into a puree, and feed them with scraping.

3.Vegetable puree or chopped vegetables:

Wash and chop the young leaves of the greens or spinach, add a large amount of salt, steam them in a steamer, take them out and mash them, remove the vegetable tendons, and stir them into a puree with a spoon.

Wash the vegetable leaves (such as greens, amaranth, cabbage, etc.) first, tear the leaves apart after removing the stems, soak them in boiling water for a while, pick them up, put them in a metal strainer and scrape them with a spoon or squeeze them with a spoon to strain out the vegetable puree. Carrot puree is made in the same way as vegetable puree.

How to prepare minced vegetables. Wash and chop the vegetables, first put an appropriate amount of cooking oil in the iron pot, heat it, then put in the vegetables, stir-fry it with Wangben, and get out of the pot when the vegetables are rotten.

At present, it is generally accepted that the best time to add complementary foods after the baby reaches 6 months of age. At this stage, the baby begins to be interested in adult food, can maintain a sitting position, and has developed swallowing skills.

Before 6 months, the baby's food is liquid, and after the introduction of complementary food, it begins to be semi-solid, that is, it can be made into pureed food, such as meat puree, vegetable puree, and fruit puree, from less to more, from thin to thin slowly added.

At this stage, breast milk or milk powder is still the main food**, and it is necessary to maintain 600 ml of milk per day, drink milk 4 6 times a day, and eat 1 complementary food.

Because at this stage, the iron obtained from the mother is slowly consumed, and the baby still needs a lot of iron because of the needs of growth and development, so at this time, iron-rich foods are preferred, such as iron-fortified baby rice noodles, red meat puree, etc.

Fortified rice noodles are sold in major supermarkets and mother and baby stores, do not make your own rice noodles, because the "family workshop" does not have the technology to fortify iron, this kind of rice noodles can be mixed with breast milk, formula milk or water into a slightly thin paste (can be scooped up with a small spoon will not drip quickly, too thin and too thick is not good).

You can also eat vegetable puree, fruit puree, and meat puree:

Vegetable puree includes: sweet potato, pumpkin, potato, yam, broccoli, etc.;

Fruit purees such as: apples, bananas, pears, avocados, etc.

Meat puree: fish, pork, beef, pork liver, etc.

In the process of adding, be sure to adapt to each new food for 2-3 days, closely observe whether there are adverse reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, rash, etc., and then add other new foods after adapting to one food.

Six-month-old babies can add complementary foods are, the first vegetable puree, steam yam or potatoes, mash into puree, add an appropriate amount of water and mix into a paste. Second, water juice, use oranges or apples, grapes and other fruits to squeeze out the juice to feed the baby. Third, pureed meat, stir beef or fish into a paste, add water and salt to cook, and then feed the baby.

From the beginning of six months, breast milk or infant formula alone can no longer meet the baby's nutritional needs. Babies should be given some complementary foods, including rice noodles, mud lake food, and a variety of fruit and vegetable purees.

The stomach of the six-month-old baby is not as delicate as before, and it can adapt to semi-liquid foods, such as rice noodles and chicken cakes, which can be added to complementary foods.

At this time, you can give your child half an egg or eat some broccoli, and you can also squeeze vegetables such as lettuce and cauliflower into juice to supplement more nutrients to your child, and try not to give your child food with high salt content, and eat a light diet.

Six-month baby, should also be based on breast milk, or with infant special milk powder feeding can be appropriately added some complementary food commonly used, there are rice soup, juice, vegetable soup, egg yolk puree, apple puree, mashed potatoes, minced meat, soft biscuits because the six-month baby's gastrointestinal function has not yet developed, all in the addition of complementary food, should be done from thin to thick, from fine to coarse, gradually added.

When the baby is six months old, you can eat rice noodles with high iron content, apple puree, banana puree, orange juice, millet porridge and other complementary foods, it is not recommended to eat fish and shrimp, it is easy to be allergic, and do not add salt to the complementary food.

You can add some baby rice noodles, baby noodles, with some vegetables, fruits and meat puree, to follow the principle of less to more to add to the baby, in addition to each new food, to observe whether the baby has allergies or acceptance.

Six-month-old children can eat rice cereal, steamed eggs, pork liver puree, vegetable puree, fruit puree, boiled porridge and noodles, and vegetarian soup are all edible, if you want to paste or chop it is easy to digest, and drink more boiled water.

Breast milk has always been recognized as the best and safest food for babies--- but babies should gradually increase complementary foods between four months and six months.
