When can babies eat rice?

For children, milk is their only food when they are very young. However, as the baby grows day by day, his body needs will continue to increase. So how old should the child be before he can eat complementary foods and how old should he be before he can eat rice directly? This is the most concerned issue for us parents and friends. Of course, it also depends on the child's physical condition and body acceptance. Let's learn about the common sense about how old the baby should be before he can eat.

suggestion:

1. Pay attention to the poop he poops. If it can be digested well and the poop is normal, you can eat some rice, but it is best to cook it a little bit more thoroughly and make it softer! Try to eat some porridge and noodles, which are easier to digest.

2. Babies over one year old have better appetites and all their teeth have come out. Except for hard foods, babies can try the same menu as adults. It is particularly important to further train their chewing ability and cultivate good eating habits.

3. Elderly people always like to compare the past with the present. You say you are worried that the baby will not digest the rice well, so even if he eats, he will only eat the softest part in the center of the cooked rice! , try to persuade them to eat porridge! It is good for children to eat more pork liver porridge! (The doctor told me) Also, don’t soak rice in soup! That's very indigestible!

Warm reminder: weaning does not mean weaning from milk products. Even if the child has been eating cereals as his staple food, he still needs to ensure a daily supply of 250ML of milk, which is called "lifelong calcium supplementation". For children aged one to two years old, the main calcium supplementation milk product is formula milk, because formula milk contains various trace elements that can help children develop.

When preparing to add complementary foods to your baby, you must first judge based on the child's body absorption. It is recommended that you try to feed your baby less for the first time, and pay attention to the baby's absorption and digestion abilities. Finally, when trying to feed your baby rice, it is best to start with soft rice and slowly transition to the same level as normal people.
