Before the age of 6 months, children should mainly be fed with breast milk or formula milk. During this period, the child's digestive ability is not good, so complementary foods cannot be added. After 6 months, when digestive function gradually changes, it is possible to increase the feeding of complementary foods. So, what complementary foods should children add?
1. Increase according to the child's nutritional needs. At the beginning, only complementary foods suitable for the child's age can be provided. At the same time, it is important to observe for about 3 to 4 days if the baby has good digestion and normal bowel movements. You can slowly try feeding new complementary foods and avoid adding too many types of complementary foods in a short period of time. Generally speaking, if a child has an allergy to food, it can be observed within a few days.
2. Pay attention to providing easily digestible food. Generally speaking, when children supplement with complementary foods at the beginning, because they do not have teeth, they can only be fed liquid food. It is necessary to gradually add semi liquid food and finally gradually increase solid complementary foods. You can choose some rice paste, Congee, noodles, etc. Slowly, you can add some nuts and other complementary foods to your child. You can add some when you cook porridge, which is very beneficial to your child's nutrition.
3. Provide children with more nutritious foods. Generally speaking, millet porridge or vegetable Congee are good choices. In addition, you can make some egg custard for children, and make it a little softer during the process. This way, the child can digest better.
