Generally speaking, it is best to add complementary food to babies at a few months.

At how many months does a baby need to add complementary foods? This is of particular concern to many parents, because long-term breast milk or formula feeding will affect the child's healthy development. Therefore, many parents want to fully understand at how many months is it best to add complementary foods to babies. The following content provides a detailed introduction to many parents so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

1 Generally speaking, the baby's digestive system can basically accept semi-solid or solid food when the baby is 4-6 months old. After the baby is four months old, you can consciously give the baby a little bit of food during meals. Remember, it's just a little bit. For example, use chopsticks to put a little rice soup or porridge into the baby's mouth to let him know that mom and dad are eating. There are other things you can eat that are different from mother's milk.

Between 2 and four to six months, introduce small amounts of semi-solid foods when your baby is in a good mood. After your baby is six months old, you can feed him complementary foods between feedings. Mash the yolks of boiled eggs and add them to the porridge. Or feed your baby egg custard.

3 You can also use a small spoon, preferably a flat spoon so that it won’t prick the baby, to feed the baby applesauce or banana mash. You can also squeeze some fruit and vegetable juice yourself and feed it to your baby. Don't buy fruit juice to feed your children, because most fruit juices sold contain additives and preservatives. Not good for babies.

Precautions

Feed your child gradually and never feed him too much at one time.

Don't force-feed your child something he or she doesn't like.

Generally, it is best to add complementary foods to babies at a certain age. I believe that through the above introduction, you already have a specific understanding. It is particularly suitable to add complementary foods to babies when they are half a year old. Therefore, it is best for parents to add complementary foods to their children slowly during this period of time. I believe that by slowly adding complementary foods, children will slowly accept complementary foods, which will be beneficial to the normal development of children.
