What should you pay attention to when your baby starts to eat complementary food?

In fact, many parents do not know how to take care of their babies, which can easily lead to some problems, especially when the baby has just started to eat complementary foods, special attention needs to be paid. The preparation of complementary foods is also very critical. Try to choose foods that are not so irritating, and put less seasoning. This is mainly to increase the baby's appetite and allow the baby to better absorb these complementary foods, but never put too much.

Note :

1. When making complementary foods, you can add a little seasoning to promote the baby's taste development. Be careful not to add too much seasoning and don't prepare food that is too heavy in taste for your baby.

2. When feeding complementary foods, you can train your baby to gradually adapt to using tableware and prepare for using tableware independently in the future. Be sure to clean and disinfect tableware after your baby uses it.

3. Be patient when feeding your baby complementary foods. If the baby is not very interested in fresh food, parents can make the food more aesthetically pleasing to attract the baby's attention and find ways to make the baby interested in food.

1. Cooperate to stop your baby from drinking milk at night. Babies of this age can stop drinking milk at night. When the baby wakes up at night to ask for milk, try to coax the baby, or feed him with appropriate amount of water, and delay each feeding time by 20 minutes. This will slowly reduce the number of feedings at night and gradually stop the baby from feeding at night.

2. Avoid strong flavors. The baby's daytime eating time can be the same as that of adults, but do not feed the baby adult food, because adult food is harder and contains a lot of seasonings such as salt, MSG, etc. The baby's food should be processed separately for the baby, and it should be fine, soft, rotten, and light, suitable for the baby's digestive system.

3. Ensure adequate intake of fat and cholesterol. It is important to avoid greasy or oily foods, but the brain development of infants and young children under 2 years old requires sufficient essential fats and cholesterol. Fat is also an important source of nutrition, so it should not be restricted and babies should not be fed low-fat or low-cholesterol foods too early.

4. Do not force-feed. Parents should guide their babies to eat patiently and not force them. They should only eat as much as their babies can. On the one hand, force-feeding will make it difficult for the baby to adapt and thus produce resistance behavior. On the other hand, excessive feeding may lead to obesity and subsequently cause health problems. It is best to feed the baby in a bowl with a spoon, so that the baby can gradually adapt to the adult eating habits.
