What should I pay attention to when feeding baby food under one year old?

When the baby is under one year old, parents need to take good care of the baby, because the baby's physical development is the fastest at this age, and it is still a transition period to add complementary foods. However, parents should not add complementary foods blindly to avoid causing harm to the baby's body. Many complementary foods can cause symptoms such as sore throat and fever in babies. So what should be paid attention to when adding complementary foods to babies under one year old?

First, what should we pay attention to when giving complementary foods to babies under one year old? Everyone knows that breast milk is the best food for children, but as the child grows up, breastfeeding alone is far from enough, so the addition of complementary foods becomes very important. However, the addition of complementary foods must be consistent with the baby's age. Full-term newborns should be fed cod liver oil after one month and premature babies after 15 days, and continue to be fed until they are one year old. When the baby is 2 months old, you should start feeding him fruit juice, vegetable juice and other soup-like foods. The amount should be increased from small to large, so that the child can adapt little by little.

Second, when the baby is 4 or 5 months old, you can feed the baby egg yolks, but egg yolks can easily cause the baby to choke, so you can put the egg yolks in white porridge or add them to milk powder. When the baby is 4 and a half months old, you can feed him some rice soup, but try not to feed him rice grains. When the baby is 5 months old, you can add some vegetable puree to the soup, starting from a small amount to a large amount. After 6 months, the amount of breast milk will decrease, so the baby's diet will need to increase. In addition to feeding the baby egg yolks, you can also steam some egg custard for the baby.

Third, it is not recommended for babies under 1 year old to drink fruit juice , no matter it is 100% freshly squeezed juice or concentrated reconstituted juice; it is also not recommended for babies over 1 year old to drink it often or in large quantities. Fruit juice is very sweet and if babies drink too much, they will get tooth decay. Also, once they get used to drinking fruit juice, it will be difficult for them to drink plain water again. In addition, fruits contain fiber which can promote digestion, but the fiber will be destroyed when the fruit is squeezed into juice, which is not conducive to baby's digestion.

What should be paid attention to when feeding complementary foods to babies under one year old? In addition, rice soup can also be gradually transitioned to porridge. In addition to adding vegetable puree to the porridge, you can also add some meat floss and other seasonings to the porridge. When the baby is 7-8 months old, you can feed him some meat in moderation, but mainly minced lean meat. When the baby is a little older, you can give him some noodles. At the beginning, it is best to cook noodles and other foods a little softer. As time goes by, you can gradually increase the hardness of the noodles.
