For babies who have added complementary food, how to eat and how to eat with balanced nutrition have become the concerns of mothers. In summer, some babies' appetites will become worse, which requires mothers to do some homework on the choice of food materials and properly match some refreshing snacks. In addition, you can also choose some foods with sunscreen and fire clearing effects. Xiran's mother has made five summer complementary foods. Seen from the acceptance of Xiran for half a month, she likes to eat and is easy to digest, so she shares them with everyone.
Before we talk about the preparation method, we first want to talk about how to add complementary food. So that each mother can adjust the production method according to the development needs of her baby.
For the time when complementary foods are added, milk powder or mixed feeding babies can be added at 4 months. Pure breast fed babies can be added at 6 months. The principle of complementary food addition is "from less to more, from single to rich". At first, a small amount of single food should be given, and each food should be tried for 3 days. If the baby has a good digestion and is not allergic, another food should be added. Then gradually increased the variety of rich food.
Here, mothers should note that when adding a food, they should pay attention to whether the baby's stool is abnormal or allergic or refuses to eat. If abnormal, they should stop feeding such food. Try this food again after 3-7 days. If there is something unusual, consider that you are intolerant of this food. Stop feeding for 3 months and try again.
The choice of food depends on the baby's development. The 4-6 month old baby is in the direct swallowing stage when taking complementary food. At this time, the complementary food is mainly paste food. The 7-9 month old baby is in the tongue grinding period. The baby will grind the food through the tongue and swallow it, so it is necessary to make some food with particles for the baby at this time. Babies aged 10-12 months will gradually enter the chewing period, and they can eat soft solid food.
The following 5 summer complementary foods are suitable for children above tongue grinding stage.
