What complementary food should a nine-month-old baby eat?

How unimportant children are in people’s minds nowadays! Having a child is a troublesome issue nowadays, so having a little baby in the family is the pride of the family. The issue of children's eating also makes many parents very worried and afraid, especially the complementary food for children at nine months old. Now the children's teeth are not fully grown, and some do not like to eat. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to observe the children's physical health and deal with the children's situation. So what are the complementary foods for children at nine months old?

In addition to continuing to familiarize yourself with the new taste and feel of various foods, you should also gradually change the texture and particle size of the food, gradually transition from mushy food to solid food, and allow complementary food to replace one meal of milk and become an independent meal.

Cereals: biscuits, steamed buns, rice porridge (rice or millet), multi-grain porridge, and soft noodles.

Vegetables: spinach, cabbage, radish, carrots, tomatoes.

Fruits: apples, bananas, watermelon, peach juice.

For a 9-month-old baby, complementary foods can be the main food, and the baby can drink milk 3-4 times a day, and the amount can be determined according to the baby's needs. At this time, when choosing milk powder, mothers should pay more attention to the baby's gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, and choose some formula milk powder with more friendly ingredients, such as milk powder with added β-vegetable oil (affinity structural fat) that can protect the baby's gastrointestinal mucosa and promote calcium and nutrient absorption. In this way, the baby can also avoid getting angry and constipated, and the baby's nutrient absorption will be more comprehensive.

When choosing milk powder, you can use the seven-word trick "one look, two rinse, three invert" to make a preliminary judgment. First, look at it and you will see that the powder is fine, loose and without lumps; second, rinse it with 40° warm water and dissolve it evenly; third, turn it upside down and roll the bottle with both hands, and there should be no precipitation at the bottom of the bottle or on the wall. No loss of nutrients, fully and optimally absorbed.

This month is a preparation for weaning. The baby's diet throughout the day should be comprehensive and nutritious, with at least two meals consisting of complementary foods. Do not be picky eaters. Add a new meat food every week and let the baby use his hands to eat small pieces of fruit, bread, etc. All kinds of complementary foods can be given, such as water, juice, mashed potatoes, tofu, vegetable soup, baby biscuits, rice paste, rice noodles, noodles, fish floss, meat floss, fish soup, minced meat, etc. The production becomes more complicated and develops towards weaned infants. However, spicy foods, nuts, and foods that are too sweet, too greasy, or too salty should not be fed.

In fact, there are many complementary foods for nine-month-old children. I hope the above description will be of great help to many parents. Parents should not worry too much.
