What kind of rice noodles are good for children?

When the baby grows to 6 months, the gastrointestinal development is relatively good, and at this time, you can add some complementary foods to the baby. Many times, adding complementary foods to the baby starts with eating rice noodles. Rice noodles are rich in nutrients and are very easy to digest. They are especially suitable for the baby's delicate gastrointestinal tract and can provide the baby's growth with the necessary nutrients.

In fact, the choice of rice noodles depends on what flavor of rice noodles the baby likes. If the baby likes to drink it, his weight is increasing, and his body is suitable for it, then he can eat it. But you should change it frequently so that your baby's taste will not be monotonous and he will not form a picky eating habit.

The first stage is rice cereal for babies aged 4 to 6 months. The rice cereal at this stage is mainly added and fortified with vegetables and fruits, rather than meat, which is beneficial for the baby's digestion.

The second stage is after 6 months, when some fish, liver paste, beef, pork, etc. are often added to baby rice cereal, and the nutritional spectrum is broader.

The baby's digestive organs are not yet fully developed, so try to choose foods that are nutritious and easy to digest. Rice cereal, which is easy to prepare and digest, has become the main complementary food for many babies. The flaky texture of Metz rice cereal has become the preferred brand for many Chinese families because of its more uniform nutrition. Metzbo baby rice cereal is different from the general baby rice cereal on the market and has a unique flaky texture. Flaky rice noodles are a new technology developed in recent years. They are easy to dissolve and absorb. The tablet shapes vary from 1 to 4 mm. After testing, 2.5 mm tablets have the best solubility, and are also the tablet shape chosen by Metzbo. Nutrients are absorbed more fully.

Rice noodles are available for different age groups, as long as your baby can adapt to them. However, babies can start eating noodles after 7 months, mainly because they like to eat them.

1. Supplement the insufficient nutrition in milk

Babies need more iron during their rapid growth and development, but the iron that babies bring from their mothers is basically consumed 3 to 4 months after birth. In addition, the content of iron and vitamin D in dairy products is relatively low. Therefore, 4 to 6 months after birth, babies are prone to iron deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency rickets. What to do? Only by adding complementary foods in time and replenishing the deficiency of iron and vitamin D in time can we ensure the healthy growth of our baby. This is a major reason why complementary foods should be added to babies after 4 months.

2. Train your baby's swallowing ability

Babies are accustomed to eating milk (liquid) food, and it takes an adaptation process for them to gradually transition to eating solid food like adults in the future. Generally speaking, this process takes half a year or longer. Babies can start by eating mushy, soft foods and gradually adapt to and accept the solid foods that adults eat.

Adding complementary foods is also a preparation for the baby's weaning, so complementary foods are also called "weaning foods." The meaning of this word does not entirely refer to the food consumed during weaning, but to the food added during the period from sole breast milk (or formula feeding) to complete weaning. During this process, complementary foods gradually replace milk, allowing babies to gradually change from sucking milk to chewing food in the way of adults.

4. Open up your baby's intelligence

In the study of integrated early childhood development, emphasis is placed on ways to integrate early childhood education into the daily life of the family. In fact, it is to use the baby's eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body's sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and other senses to give the baby a variety of stimulation to enrich his experience and achieve the purpose of enlightening intelligence. Adding complementary foods can meet the above conditions, giving the baby rich stimulation and thus achieving the purpose of enlightening intelligence.

5. Train chewing ability

As the baby grows older, the mucous membrane of the gums gradually becomes hard. Especially after the front teeth grow out, when given soft semi-solid food, the baby will chew the food with his gums or teeth and then swallow it. Therefore, adding complementary foods in time is beneficial to training the baby's chewing function, which is beneficial to the development of the jaw and the eruption of teeth.
