The child has just been born and is breastfed every day, when should I add complementary food?

My child began to add complementary food after half a year old, and it was better to breastfeed in the early stage. I checked the information and consulted a doctor friend from Shanghai Pubin Children's Hospital, saying that breastfeeding is the first recommendation for babies under 6 months of age, and breast milk contains more fat, lactose, and phospholipids, which are conducive to promoting the growth and development of the baby. My baby only started to add complementary food after he was half a year old, and of course he would eat it with breast milk.

Now the baby is nutritionally balanced in all aspects and quite healthy in all aspects. So don't blindly believe in complementary food, don't add complementary food to your child too early, breast milk is still indispensable for your child's growth. It is not easy to raise a baby, but do it and cherish it.

It should not be earlier than 4 months at the earliest, and it must be added to complementary foods at 7 months at the latest.

Complementary food should be added at least a month or so, otherwise it will affect the normal development of the child and the normal work of the mother after giving birth.

Exclusively breastfeeding your baby is the best way to feed your baby.

When the baby is 4 months old, you can add 1 4 boiled egg yolks, add some water or milk to make a paste and feed it to the child.

When the baby is 6 months old, the egg yolk is increased to half, and a small amount of baby food such as rice cereal, vegetable puree, and meat puree can be added at the same time.

After the baby is born, it is best to eat breast milk until six months in addition to complementary food, and there are also babies who add complementary food at 5 months.

Breastfed babies can be breastfed with complementary foods at the age of 1 month. At this time, the nutrients in breast milk have been slowly reduced, and the mother can also take the opportunity to wean the baby by adding complementary foods. Weaning should also be done gradually, so the mother can give the baby some milk powder in the baby's 6-month-old hands, so that the baby can gradually get used to the taste of the milk powder.

After getting used to the taste of milk powder, you can give the baby some complementary food, so that the baby can be successfully weaned and become fond of drinking milk powder and eating complementary food.

The baby must eat complementary food, because if the baby does not eat complementary food, then the baby will not be able to supplement enough nutrients, and there may be some malnutrition or less body. However, the baby can not eat complementary food too early, if you eat complementary food too early, it may also make the baby dislike to drink milk powder, do not like to eat breast milk, will also affect the normal growth and development of the baby. Especially sweet fruit puree, if the baby is exposed to sweet food too early, it will make the baby especially like to eat sweet, and does not like to eat other foods at all.

Therefore, parents must consciously control the time when the baby eats complementary food and the type of complementary food, and you can add some complementary food to the baby when you are a month, first let the baby eat some vegetable puree. The vitamin content in the vegetable puree is relatively high, and the taste is relatively light, which can also make the baby adapt.

The addition of complementary food should also be carried out gradually, can not suddenly let the baby eat some complementary food, the mother can let the baby eat a little complementary food when drinking breast milk, the baby adapts to the taste of complementary food, and then the baby can eat a small bowl of complementary food at one time when the baby is a month. If the child does not like to eat complementary food, then the mother cannot force her child to eat, everything must be subject to the child's wishes. Because children also have a certain rebellious mentality, if their parents force them, children are also very unhappy.

Children who eat breast milk generally start to add complementary food after 6 months The effect is the best, because before 6 months, the child's urinary system and digestive system are not well developed, adding complementary food is easy to cause gastrointestinal burden, causing bloating and vomiting, and after 6 months, adding complementary food should also be from less to more, from fine to coarse milk can be added milk, milk powder, rice noodles, egg yolks, and all foods should be pureed.

I think that when the baby is 6 months old, because the child is breastfed at this time, he can no longer get enough nutrition.

Introduction: As the baby grows up, breast milk or formula milk alone can no longer meet the baby's nutritional needs, so the baby should be added with complementary food in time. So when is it better to start adding complementary foods to breastfeeding babies?

What complementary foods can be added? Let's find out together today.

The most suitable time to add complementary foods to your baby is around six months. As long as the baby has the following movements, such as keeping his head upright when he is holding his head, has a clear appetite, and always shows great interest in food when his parents eat, he can add complementary food to his child. If the baby's digestion is poor, often diarrhea or cold and fever, you can also postpone for a period of time to consider adding complementary food.

All in all, adding complementary foods to babies varies from person to person, and there is no set standard.

At the beginning, let the baby eat complementary food can be from thin to thick, from single to diverse. Many babies' first bite of complementary food is apple puree, which is peeled and steamed and pureed with a blender and fed to the baby. Apples are rich in nutrients and vitamins, and they are not easy to cause allergies, so they are very suitable as a baby's first bite of complementary food.

After eating fruit puree for a period of time, you can add vegetables, egg yolks and meat puree, pay attention to the eggs and meat must choose fresh, and do not leave the next meal for the baby to eat after each meal.

Adding complementary food to your baby is a gradual process, and you can't feed too much at once, start with a small amount. If the baby does not like to eat, do not force the baby to accept complementary food, which can easily lead to the child's fear of eating complementary food to leave a psychological shadow, affecting the ability to eat independently in the future. Wait for the baby to get used to the complementary food before starting to increase the amount, and pay attention to the complementary food do not add seasonings to the baby, such as salt and sugar.

Because the baby's kidneys have not yet developed before the age of one, these seasonings will affect the child's kidney and gastrointestinal function.

Breastfed babies can start to add complementary foods around 4 months, you can add egg custard, mashed potatoes, pureed vegetables, fruit salad, vegetable salad.

For mixed-fed babies, complementary foods can be added after 4 months. Babies who are exclusively breastfed can be given complementary foods after six months. There are many types of complementary foods that can be added, such as liver puree, fish puree, vegetable puree, lean porridge, rotten noodles, egg custard, wonton, fruit puree, millet porridge, etc.

When adding complementary foods, choose local, seasonal ingredients. Only one complementary food can be added at a time, and then another complementary food can be added after the baby adapts to this complementary food, and do not add multiple complementary foods at a time.

Breastfed babies start to add complementary foods after 6 months; You can add egg whites, apple puree, banana puree, dragon fruit puree, noodles, rice noodles.

Can I breastfeed immediately after eating complementary food?

It is best not to breastfeed right away. It is better for the baby's complementary food to be separated from the milk for a period of time, otherwise the baby will not digest well. When making complementary foods, you can mix a variety of pureed foods with rice noodles.

This will prevent your baby from being picky eaters and avoid eating smaller, more frequent meals. Complementary foods should be given before feeding at first, and the interval between feedings can be gradually increased as your baby's food intake increases. However, it is still necessary to ensure the amount of milk, and do not affect the baby's milk consumption because of the addition of complementary food.

How to add complementary foods to your baby.

There are two growth peaks in the baby's life, the first growth peak period starts from the birth of the baby to the baby 6 months, the baby's growth and development is extremely rapid, the smaller the age of the month, the faster the growth, which can be fully reflected from the baby's weight and height growth curve. At this time, the baby needs enough breast milk to grow better.

1. The added complementary food must be suitable for the baby's age.

Infants and young children of different ages have different physical development and need different complementary foods. For example, if you add complementary food too early, the baby will have vomiting and diarrhea due to immature digestive function, and the digestive function will be disordered; Late addition can cause malnutrition and even refuse to eat non-dairy liquid food.

2. One to many types of food are gradually increased according to the baby's nutritional needs and digestive ability.

At first, you can only give the baby a complementary food suitable for the age of the month, try 3-4 days or a week later, if the baby's digestion is good, normal bowel movements, and then try another, do not increase several at once in a short period of time. If your baby has an allergy to a particular food, it can be detected within a few days of trying.

3. From thin to thick.

When the baby starts to add complementary food, he has not yet grown teeth, so he can only feed the baby liquid food, gradually add semi-liquid food, and finally develop to solid food. For example: rice cereal, porridge, soft rice.

Babies grow quickly, so they need to absorb enough nutrients. After the baby grows up, it is necessary to add complementary food to the baby, because the baby is no longer able to absorb the nutrients needed to meet the growth and development needs from breast milk. However, if your baby is breastfed, her dependence on breast milk is relatively large, and you must gradually add complementary food, and you can't suddenly give your baby complementary food.

What problems do breastfed babies need to pay attention to when they first start feeding complementary food?

Breastfed babies are very dependent on breast milk, so the mother can not completely wean the baby, and must gradually give the baby complementary food. Bao Ma can change the previous 4 meals of milk a day to 3 meals of milk a day, and let the baby eat complementary food in the middle. After all, there is both oil and salt in the complementary food, and the taste is also relatively good, so the complementary food can also attract the baby's attention, so the baby also likes to eat.

However, when feeding complementary food, you must not be too fast, so that the baby has an adaptation period, so that the baby can adapt to the taste and texture of the complementary food, and then continue to feed the baby. The baby's immunity is also relatively poor, so there will be allergies to many complementary foods, so you can do an allergy test before eating complementary foods.

Many mothers have learned some new tricks of complementary food on the Internet, and they want to give this kind of complementary food to the baby, but although such complementary food looks better, the nutritional content is not very high, and it will not be liked by the baby. Therefore, when you just give your baby complementary food, you must be simpler, you only need to give your baby some vegetable puree or meat puree, so that the nutritional content of complementary food is relatively high, and it is not easy to have problems. Therefore, parents must be careful, not too careless, to give the baby a simple complementary food.

After breastfeeding, you need to add complementary food, you must pay attention to adding rice flour when adding complementary food, 10 to 15 days after the baby adapts, and then add 1 4 egg yolks, gradually add various foods, must be thin to thick, varieties from single to diverse, the proportion should be appropriate, do not add food containing oil and salt, sugar should also be added in small amounts. Food additives range from pureed to minced to crumb.

If you add complementary food for the first time, you can let the baby eat less, and then eat soft or soup food, such as rice soup, biscuits, fruit puree, milk, etc., from thin to thick from less to more, and gradually increase the amount, because the baby is very small, and the digestive function is not very perfect.

Pay attention to the nutritional value of complementary food, but also pay attention to the child's physique, pay attention to the effect of complementary food on children, and also pay attention to the age of adding complementary food, understand the situation of complementary food, and be sure to ensure the health of the baby.

Eat liquid or pureed food for too long. Usually, babies have not yet grown teeth when they start to add complementary foods, so liquid or pureed foods are very suitable for babies to digest and absorb.

Generally, six-month-old babies can add complementary food, which is generally to eat high-iron rice noodles first, and then add from less to more, from thin to thick.

When the baby is six months old, it is necessary to start adding complementary food, when adding complementary food, first of all, start to add iron-fortified rice noodles, and then gradually add vegetables and fruits, only one vegetable or fruit can be added at a time, observe 2 to 3 days later, the baby does not have any discomfort, you can add the next vegetable or fruit. If your baby is feeling any discomfort, stop adding this food immediately.

At the beginning of feeding complementary food, you should eat some good digestion and thin food, but also eat some light food, after feeding the complementary food should give the child more water to avoid the child on fire, after feeding the complementary food should gently rub the child's internal organs, can promote digestion.

The added supplementary food should be mainly pureed, be sure to retain the original taste of the food, do not give children raw and cold food, be sure to choose fresh and pollution-free, try not to add salt, do not add oil.
