When to add baby food to baby food? How to make cod

The stomachs and intestines of infants and young children are relatively fragile, and the mucous membrane of the digestive tract is very thin and tender, so many things are difficult for them to digest. There are relatively few things they can eat, and they have to be careful about what they eat. There are many kinds of complementary foods for babies.

When to add baby food

Generally speaking, the best time to add complementary foods to your baby is around 6 months.

Reason: Because the baby's digestive system is not fully developed at this time, if you add complementary foods to the baby too early, some complementary foods will hurt the stomach and intestines for young babies and cause allergies. At this time, not only will the baby not get any nutrition, but it will also affect the baby's health.

Note: When adding complementary foods to your baby, do not add too much at once. Each time you add new complementary foods to your baby, there is a buffer period of about 4-7 days. This will not only allow the baby to gradually accept the new complementary foods, but also if the baby has allergies during this period, parents can also promptly understand what kind of food caused the allergy. The baby's allergies are generally immediate.

The correct order for adding complementary foods to babies: cereals - vegetables - fruits - animal foods (eggs, poultry, livestock meat).

When your baby starts eating complementary foods for the first time, you should choose foods that are easy to digest and absorb but are not dairy products, such as fortified cereals, fortified nutritious rice flour, and paste-like foods.

Things to know about eating cod for babies

Fish can be added to baby's food starting from 6 months old, but the premise is that the baby is not allergic to fish. Mothers should know that there are two types of cod. One is silver cod, which is more expensive, costing hundreds of yuan per catty; the other is flat cod, which is much cheaper, about ten yuan per catty. Silver cod and flat cod belong to two different classes, just like nobles and commoners. Silver cod has tender meat and rich nutrition, while flat cod contains more oil, is not easy to digest, and is easy to cause diarrhea. Mothers must not buy the wrong one! In addition, the fish you buy must be thoroughly thawed and cooked before feeding it to your baby, otherwise it will taste fishy.

Which foods are likely to cause allergies in babies?

1. Dairy products

Dairy products are one of the foods that are most likely to cause allergies in babies. Parents should remember to add beneficial bacteria to their children after the baby is born to improve the baby's intestinal environment, rather than blindly eliminating these allergens.

2. Egg products

For babies under 6 months old, the digestive tract mucosal barrier is not fully developed. The egg white protein molecules in eggs are extremely small and can easily pass through the intestinal mucosa into the blood and cause an allergic reaction in babies.

3. Dried fruits

Nuts such as peanuts, sesame seeds, chestnuts, walnuts, etc.

4. Seafood

Such as fish, shrimp, crab, seashell, kelp, etc.

Warm reminder: If both or one of the parents is allergic to a certain food, then the baby is also likely to be allergic to this food, so you must pay close attention!
