Can a three-month-old baby eat complementary food?

Three-month-old babies usually only eat breast milk, and after three months, you can slowly add some complementary foods to the baby, but don't add too much, because at this time the baby's digestive function is not particularly strong, and the baby's appetite is relatively small. If you add too much complementary food to them, it is particularly easy to cause the baby to have food accumulation, which will cause the baby to have stomach upset. So, can three-month-old babies eat complementary foods?

When babies are just born, during the 1-3 months period, breast milk is the main source of food. Breast milk is the best food. It not only provides babies with rich nutrients, but is also easy to digest. The immune factors in breast milk can enhance the baby's resistance. If you don't have enough breast milk or it's too little due to busy work or physical reasons, you can give your baby formula milk. As for complementary foods such as rice soup, rice paste, and infant cakes, they are not recommended. These complementary foods are a bit difficult to digest for three-month-old babies.

If you really want to add some complementary foods, you can drink fruit juice, vegetable juice, supplement vitamins, and make their stools softer and easier to excrete. For example: cucumber juice, tomato juice, etc., making these vegetables into juice can not only supplement vitamins, but also taste good, sour and sweet, suitable for babies to drink.

Tomato juice

Wash the tomatoes. Put a small amount of water in the pot, bring it to a boil, and blanch the washed tomatoes in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Remove the tomatoes, peel them and cut them into small pieces. Wrap the tomatoes with clean gauze and squeeze out the juice (you can also use a juicer). Eggplant is very nutritious. It contains rich carotene, vitamin C and B vitamins. It tastes good, sour and sweet, and is very suitable for babies to drink.

Cucumber juice

Wash and peel the cucumber. Use a clean grater to grate the cucumber into thin strips. Wrap the grated cucumber shreds in clean gauze and squeeze out the juice. You can also put the grated cucumber shreds into a juicer and squeeze out cucumber juice. Cucumber juice is rich in vitamins, which can prevent baby constipation, strengthen the heart and blood vessels. It can also regulate blood pressure, prevent myocardial overstrain and arteriosclerosis, and enhance memory.

Rapeseed water

Wash the leaves first, then soak them in clean water for 20 minutes to remove any residual pesticides on the leaves. Add 50 ml of water to a pot and bring to a boil. Chop the leaves and cook in the boiling water for 1-3 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover and let cool for a while. When the temperature is right, filter with clean gauze or stainless steel filter. Rapeseed is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin Bl, vitamin B2, and contains potassium, calcium, iron, dietary fiber, etc., which can regulate the baby's stomach.
