For adults, sleeping after eating is a very unhealthy behavior, which is not conducive to the digestion of food and can easily lead to obesity. But younger babies, especially those who have just been born, almost always go to bed after eating, and parents don't know if this is good for their baby's health. So, how long does the baby sleep after eating complementary foods?
It is normal for babies to fall asleep after eating complementary foods. Babies and adults are different. They are in a period of physical growth and have a longer sleep time every day. Therefore, even if they eat and sleep, it is still possible and will not affect the baby's development. If the mother is afraid that the baby will accumulate food and have poor digestion after eating, she can let the baby play for about ten minutes. But if the baby has a strong drowsiness, it is still better to let the baby sleep.
However, babies who have already added complementary foods are 6 months old or older, and many mothers choose to add complementary foods after their babies nap or wake up. So many babies may play better after eating complementary foods. Mothers can adjust the timing of feeding complementary foods appropriately. Generally speaking, it is better for babies to drink milk before bedtime.
In addition to paying attention to the time when feeding complementary food, we should also pay attention to giving the baby food within its digestive range, such as Congee, Rice noodles, rice paste, etc., and other food such as vegetables and fruits, also try to make them muddy or paste to facilitate the baby's eating and digestion.
