What kind of complementary food is good for a two-month-old baby?

Babies need to eat complementary foods after two months and cannot rely solely on milk powder. On the one hand, it is not nutritionally adequate, and on the other hand, if they rely solely on milk powder, it is not financially affordable for most families. So what kind of complementary food is good for a two-month-old baby? Nutrition experts say that complementary foods for two-month-old babies must be easily digestible and nutritious. Let’s take a look at what these foods are. I hope the following content is helpful to you.

What can a two-month-old baby eat? Here are some complementary foods:

1. Egg yolk Egg yolk helps the development of the baby's brain, bones, muscles and nerve cells. The method is to boil fresh eggs, take out the egg yolks and mash them into a paste with a small spoon. Start by feeding half an egg yolk a day. Depending on the baby's absorption, you can gradually increase the amount to one egg yolk a day.

2. Vegetable puree: Take an appropriate amount of fresh, pesticide-free green leafy vegetables, remove the tendons, put them into a pot together with the vegetable juice, add an appropriate amount of vegetable oil and salt and cook until it becomes vegetable puree. After it cools down, you can feed it to your baby with a small spoon. Pureed vegetables contain vitamins and minerals that aid digestion.

3. Take appropriate amount of fish paste

Add appropriate amount of vegetable oil and salt to the skinless and boneless carp meat, cook it, mash it into a paste, and feed it to the baby after it is cooled. Fish is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and is easy to digest.

4. Minced meat: Take an appropriate amount of fresh lean meat, wash and cut into minced meat, add salt and seasoning, steam or fry, and feed once every 3-5 days. Lean meat contains more animal protein and less fat, and is easily absorbed by babies.

5. Liver puree: Take 50-80 grams of fresh pork liver or chicken liver, wash and split it, add it to porridge or noodles and cook it. Let it cool before feeding it to the baby.

6. Carrot soup: Take 150-200 grams of fresh carrots, wash them, cut them into large pieces, put them into the pot and cook them until they are soft, then scoop them out with a colander, squeeze them into a paste, put them back into the original soup and boil them, season them with sugar, and feed them every few days. Carrots contain a variety of amino acids and rich vitamin A, which play an important role in human bones, nerve cells, and red blood cells.

7. When adding new foods, give your baby several familiar foods at the same time so that they are happy to accept new foods. Rice noodles can be mixed with meat puree, fruit and vegetable puree, and noodles and fed together. This stage is a sensitive period for babies to learn chewing and feeding. Provide as many flavors of food as possible for babies to try, and freely combine a variety of foods to meet their taste needs.

I believe mothers now know what complementary foods two-month-old babies should eat. They hope to give their children some of the above complementary foods when they are two months old, so that the nutrition will be much more balanced. However, two-month-old babies should still mainly feed on milk powder. After all, the child is still young, and it is not realistic to eat too much complementary food. I hope all parents will pay more attention to it.
