What should I do if my six-month-old baby doesn’t like to eat complementary food?

When the baby is six months old, his stomach and intestines are still delicate and he can barely accept some solid or semi-solid food. Therefore, mothers must pay more attention when feeding their babies. As for six-month-old babies who don’t like to eat complementary foods, the article also gives mothers some tips on when to feed their babies complementary foods and what kind of complementary foods to feed their babies? However, I believe that careful mothers can solve this problem once they study hard.

Choose to let your baby start trying new foods between two feedings in the morning, because when your baby is very hungry, he may not have the mind to taste something he has never eaten before. Or you can let the baby eat half of the milk first, then feed him a little bit of rice cereal, and finally let the baby finish the rest of the milk.

Don't try new foods when your baby is in a bad mood, as your baby will most likely not cooperate.

Choose a suitable spoon for your baby, preferably one with a smaller and flatter head designed specifically for babies. Remember not to use a stainless steel spoon, because your baby won't like the hard texture and it conducts heat very quickly. A plastic spoon is the best choice.

Don't feed your baby rice cereal with a bottle. Not only will it cause the baby to choke, but it will also be difficult to control the baby's food intake, causing the baby to eat too much.

Breast milk or formula milk is still the baby's main food. If the baby drinks less milk or is unwilling to drink milk, it means that too much complementary food has been added. The amount of complementary food should be adjusted to ensure that the baby drinks enough milk.

When mothers are feeding complementary foods to six-month-old babies, they must carefully observe the baby's reactions. As for the problem that the baby does not like to eat complementary foods, mothers should refer to the methods given above, study them carefully, and after mastering them, make healthy complementary foods suitable for six-month-old babies, so that the baby can thrive like a small tree.
