How to make baby noodles

As the baby grows day by day, we need to add some complementary foods to the baby to meet the baby's nutritional needs. Noodles are a very good complementary food for babies. Not only are they easier for the baby to absorb, but they also do not increase the baby's gastrointestinal burden. However, since the baby's gastrointestinal development is not particularly good, we must also be different from adults when making it, so as not to put too much burden on the baby's stomach. Let's take a look at how to make baby noodles.

How to make baby noodles

Ingredients

Carrots, greens, half a tomato, minced meat (cooked), baby noodles

step

1. Dice the carrots and stir-fry them with some oil. Add an appropriate amount of boiling water (preferably chicken broth or bone broth) and bring to a boil.

2. Add a small amount of salt and the prepared baby noodles.

3. When it starts to boil, add the chopped meat, diced tomatoes, and salt, and simmer over medium-low heat.

4. When the noodles have reached the desired softness (for babies, they should be softer and easier to digest), add the chopped green vegetables.

5. When the vegetables are cooked, you can remove them from the pot.

How many months can babies add complementary food

The World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the UK Department of Health all recommend that exclusive breastfeeding should be continued for at least 6 months, and only after 6 months should complementary foods be added to the baby. Because breast milk can meet all nutritional needs before 6 months, including water. Formula milk, which is an imitation and substitute of breast milk, can also meet all the nutritional needs of babies before 6 months old.

Six months is when babies begin to adapt to different foods, and it is also the best time for different food structures and feeding methods. Authoritative experts take into account the baby's digestive system and the nutritional issues of breast milk, so mothers who have the conditions should still exclusively breastfeed their babies until they are 6 months old, and then gradually add complementary foods.

If some babies or mothers cannot continue to exclusively breastfeed for some reasons, they can also start adding complementary foods when the baby is 4 months old, but no earlier than 4 months and no later than 6 months.

In addition, adding complementary foods to your baby also needs to be decided based on the baby's growth and development. Generally, there are the following standards: the baby's head and neck muscles have been fully developed and can straighten their necks independently to facilitate the eating of solid food; the swallowing function has gradually become coordinated and mature, and the baby no longer spits out food on the tongue; the digestive enzymes in the digestive system are already able to digest different types of food.

The above is an introduction to how to cook baby noodles. After understanding it, we can make it at home, so that the baby's diet can become more balanced. In addition, we can add some green vegetables according to the baby's taste and preferences, such as carrots or spinach, so that the baby can absorb more nutritional value.
