Problems to be noted when adding supplementary food to your baby

The following points should be noted when adding complementary foods to your baby:

First, varieties should be increased one by one: supplementary foods should be added one by one. Each additional food supplement should be observed in the baby for 3-4 days. If food loss, abnormal bowel movements, or allergies are found, the food should be suspended. After a normal recovery, add a small amount as appropriate. It is not possible to increase several complementary foods at the same time.

Second, food intake should be gradually increased: the baby's stomach capacity is smaller, the amount of complementary foods should be gradually increased, once too much can cause baby indigestion.

Third, the food should be thin to thick, from fine to coarse gradual transition: For example, should be in accordance with the "rice soup - thin porridge - thick porridge - soft rice," "caijiu - vegetable puree - crushed dishes," such order to add food supplement.

Fourth, do not force feeding: When the baby does not adapt to the complementary food and refuse to eat, do not rush, should be gradual and gradually adapt.

V. Suffering from illness or extreme heat should be added: When the baby is sick, ill or hot weather, supplement foods should be put on hold, so as not to increase the burden on the baby's digestive tract.

Sixth, after adding the complementary food, please pay attention to observation and adjustment: After adding the complementary food, you should carefully observe the baby's stool, appetite, sleep, etc., and adjust it at any time.

In the process of adding complementary foods, two kinds of situations often occur: First, eager to achieve success, the mother hopes that the baby's body is strong, regardless of the baby's digestive ability, blindly add food supplements, resulting in baby indigestion or even anorexia; the other is the mother The importance of adding supplementary foods is not enough. I think that my milk is sufficient, and it is too cumbersome to add supplementary foods. My baby is still breast-feeding for 8-9 months. It is very prone to baby anemia and rickets, and it also increases difficulties for future weaning. Therefore, mothers should understand the significance of adding complementary foods for babies, and learn to add supplementary foods scientifically. The addition of necessary nutrients to baby who has problems in the supplementary food supplementation process can be reasonably done.
