What complementary food can babies eat at 100 days old

For babies around 100 days old, they have just started to add complementary foods, so the choice of complementary foods for them is very critical. Mothers can buy some rice noodles for their babies. If necessary, they can give their babies some porridge or rice soup. Egg cake is also a very good choice, but try to avoid giving your baby some hard food. So what complementary foods are suitable for babies to eat during the day?

Breast milk is the best nutrition for babies. It can fully meet the growth and development needs of babies before 4 months old. Usually, when babies are 1-3 months old, they only need to drink a small amount of vegetable juice and fruit juice and supplement certain vitamins. They do not need any complementary food. In fact, many babies cannot adapt to the addition of complementary food too early. Some mothers worry that insufficient breast milk will affect their baby's development and hope to give their baby more nutrition. They add complementary foods to their baby too early. This often backfires and is not good for the baby's health. Eating complementary foods such as rice noodles too early can lead to insufficient protein intake and affect physical growth and brain development.

Some mothers feel that their breast milk is sufficient and provides enough nutrition to feed their babies, and thus delay adding complementary foods. In fact, the iron content in breast milk becomes less and less after 4 months and needs to be supplemented from complementary foods. Some parents think that adding complementary foods is too troublesome, especially when the baby is just starting to learn and will make a mess. Parents simply put rice cereal and milk paste into bottles for the baby to drink, or simply postpone adding complementary foods. Learning to eat complementary foods is a brand new attempt for babies. It not only helps them get more nutrition, stimulates the development of teeth and oral cavity, and trains chewing and swallowing functions, but is also the starting point for babies to embark on a new stage of growth.

Generally, you can start adding complementary foods to your baby from 4-6 months old. Babies who are mixed-fed or bottle-fed can start eating complementary foods after 4 months, while babies who are exclusively breastfed should start eating later. However, each baby's growth and development are different, and individual differences are also different, so the time to add complementary foods cannot be generalized. Parents can use the following points to determine whether to start adding complementary foods: Weight: The weight needs to be twice that at birth, at least 6 kg.

Not full: For example, the baby used to sleep all night, but now often cries in the middle of the night, or the sleep time is getting shorter and shorter; the number of breastfeeding times a day is increased to 8-10 times or 1000 ml of formula milk is fed, but the baby is still hungry, crying and wanting to eat from time to time. When your baby experiences a period of accelerated growth around 6 months old, it is the best time to start adding complementary foods.

Development: The baby can control the head and upper body, can sit with support or leaning against something, can straighten the chest and hold the head upright. The baby can indicate whether he wants to eat or not by turning the head, leaning forward or backward, etc., so force-feeding will not occur.

Behavior: When others are eating next to the baby, the baby will be interested and may even grab the spoon or chopsticks. If your baby puts his hands or toys into his mouth, it means he is interested in eating.

Tongue-sticking reflex: Many parents find that when they first feed their babies complementary foods, the babies often spit out what has just been fed into their mouths, and they think that the babies don’t like the food. In fact, the baby's tongue sticking out behavior is an instinctive self-protection, called the "tongue sticking out reflex", which means it is not yet time to feed complementary foods.
