Here are the answers to your questions about baby food supplements

It is very difficult to get babies to eat complementary foods obediently, and many mothers are at a loss. The following mainly lists some common problems that babies may encounter during the period of eating complementary foods. Mothers who need it can learn more about it~

Should I drink milk first or eat complementary food first?

I don't think there is an absolute answer, just like some people like to eat some fruit before meals, can you say they are wrong... (random examples) Well, we eat complementary foods first and then drink milk. If the baby's eating condition is not good that day, we give her more milk. However, this situation rarely happens for her who attaches great importance to eating.

How to match the amount of milk with complementary foods

Well...what the baby does is to make the sum of the complementary food and milk equal to the total amount of her original meal. For example, the baby later drank 240ml in one meal. At 5M, she could eat about 90ml of complementary food, and then drink 150ml of milk. At 7M, she could finish about 150ml of complementary food, and then drink about 90ml of milk (but her appetite during this time was amazing, sometimes she would drink up to 120ml).

How long does it take to eat a food block?

Of course, the sooner the better! Generally speaking, food can be kept frozen for at least a week, but babies will try to finish the frozen stock within 5 days. If complementary food is prepared on the same day, the baby will be fed with fresh food of the day, and the next day's portion will be refrigerated.

What if the kids won't eat?

Sometimes they may not like the taste of the new food, so you can try it again the next meal or the next day. It may also be the anorexia stage that every child must go through. We adults sometimes lose our appetite due to mood swings, so please don’t worry, and don’t force him or ruin the dining atmosphere. We will try our best to create a happy dining atmosphere. When the baby is happy, feeding is usually very smooth and he will finish the meal very quickly.

The poop stinks!

Of course, when babies start to eat human food, their stools will definitely become more and more smelly! In addition, their gastrointestinal absorption function is not as complete as that of adults at this time. Sometimes you can see food particles in the stool. Moms, don’t be scared! (Because the baby was scared by the residue of red pepper, I thought the baby had blood in the stool...)

What to do if you have constipation

This question is worthy of another article... In short, you can adjust the food ingredients at this time, first reducing the fiber and increasing the fat, because a lot of fiber intake must be accompanied by sufficient water and carbohydrates, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.

Fruits and vegetables that improve constipation:

Vegetables: black fungus, amaranth, royal vegetable, loofah, mushrooms, etc.

Fruits: kiwi, dragon fruit, papaya, watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. (fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber and rich in water) *Note: apples can cause constipation, so please avoid them; bananas have a lot of pectin, so it is recommended that you also have enough water.

Others: Hipp black date paste, black date juice

You can also make mixed vegetable ice cubes to get rich basic nutrition at every meal.
