What should I eat for a two month old baby?

Many two-month-old babies do not have enough immunity, and their digestive systems are not fully developed at this time. However, many mothers want to feed their children some egg yolks to increase their nutrition. However, they do not know that although egg yolks are very easy to digest, poor gastrointestinal digestion at this time can easily cause allergies. So what should two-month-old babies eat?

Infants under one year old should still be fed mainly with milk, and complementary foods should be added on the basis of ensuring 700-800 ml of milk every day.

The first complementary food to be added should be egg yolk

Here’s how to add egg yolks:

Boil the eggs, peel them, take out the yolks and grind them into powder. Start by feeding 1/8 of an egg yolk per day, then gradually increase to 1/4, 1/2, and finally the whole egg yolk. Egg yolk powder can be mixed with boiling water and given to the baby between feedings; it can also be directly mixed with rice flour. At around 6 months old, you can switch to egg yolk porridge; at 7 or 8 months old, you can eat steamed eggs (including egg white).

Tips: It is not advisable to feed egg white to babies under 6 months old

The digestive tract mucosal barrier of infants under 6 months old is not fully developed, and the protein molecules in egg white are small, which can easily enter the blood through the intestinal mucosa and cause allergic reactions such as eczema and urticaria on the skin.

How to add rice flour

Do not add complementary foods to your child before going to bed. When I first started adding complementary foods, I followed other people’s advice and added some rice cereal to the milk before going to bed. They said that this would make my baby fuller and help him sleep longer. But I found that my baby couldn’t sleep for very long and had to get up several times at night to feed.

Later I consulted a pediatrician, who told me that milk is actually more filling than rice cereal because the nutrients in milk are far superior to those in rice cereal. The child should be fed enough milk before going to bed (around 10 o'clock).

From the above article, we can learn about what is good to eat for a two-month-old baby. First of all, you can feed the baby some rice cereal with milk powder. A two-month-old baby is still too young and should not eat too much crude fiber or too hard food, as these will damage the child's intestines.
