Very often, young parents are interested in when it will be possible to introduce an infant to the first "adult" food, where to start and how to do it correctly. Let's try to figure out this important issue together?
It is generally believed that the first full-fledged complementary feeding of a child should be given to him at the age of five months, which implies replacing a single serving of breast milk (or formula with artificial feeding) with a portion of vegetable puree with butter and egg yolk. But you should prepare for this in advance and, of course, gradually.
- An infant tastes a new product for the first time at the age of three weeks, which is usually the juice of a green apple. At first, they give the baby only a few drops, gradually bringing its amount to a teaspoon by the end of the month. By the way, the range of juices can be expanded later, but grape juice is not recommended for infants because of its ability to cause fermentation.
- At the age of two months, the child is already introduced to fruit puree (and many inexperienced parents mistakenly believe that this is the first complementary feeding of an infant). This puree is made from the pulp of fruits with delicate fiber (apples, plums, apricots, cherries, bananas).
- A four-month-old child gradually (carefully observing the slightest manifestations of allergic reactions of the body) begins to be given (preferably first every other day) a hard-boiled egg yolk (starting with just the eighth part of the whole yolk), as well as vegetable puree (from potatoes or zucchini). Separately, we note that new products should be given to the baby before a portion of breast milk (or milk formula), and not after.
- A five-month-old baby, in addition to the first complementary food from vegetable puree, also begins to receive cottage cheese and some fermented milk mixtures before milk feeding. It is better to cook both cottage cheese and sour milk on your own, but immediately before each meal.
It is recommended to introduce the second complementary food for infants at the age of six months, replacing them with another daily portion of milk (or a mixture) in the children's diet. Such complementary foods are milk porridges - buckwheat, oatmeal, rice or semolina, which are better to alternate with each other. A seven-month-old baby is already being offered mashed meat, and a month later meat broth, bread and biscuits.
Finally, I would like to note that all products are selected individually for the baby, but there are some general rules. So, the first complementary feeding of a child, in any case, should be no earlier than four months, but also no later than six.
This is due to the development of the baby and his increasing need to replenish the energy reserves of the growing body. Also, more solid food contributes to the proper formation of teeth in general, and bite in particular. The birthday bonus is a special treat that rewards you with free bets on your special day.
