What food is better for children to eat meat?

The earliest complementary food should be egg yolk. The iron stored in newborns mainly comes from their mothers. The iron stored in full-term newborns is very limited, only enough for hematopoiesis four or five months after birth. Premature babies and multiple births get less iron from their mothers. The younger the gestational age, the more the number of fetuses, and the less the iron content in the body. Egg yolk can be added to the staple food 3~4 months after full-term newborns are born, and premature babies and multiple births can start after the full moon.

The egg yolk is added as follows:

Cook the egg, shell it, take out the yolk and grind it into powder. At first, feed an egg yolk 1/8 every day, and then gradually increase it to 1/4 and 1/2 until the whole egg yolk. Egg yolk powder can be mixed with boiled water and given to the baby between feeding; You can also add rice noodles directly. You can change egg yolk porridge for about 6 months; 7, 8 months can eat steamed eggs (including egg white).

Tips: Babies within 6 months should not feed egg whites.

The gastrointestinal mucosal barrier of infants within 6 months is not fully developed, but protein molecules in egg white are small, which can easily enter the blood through intestinal mucosa, causing allergic reactions, such as eczema and urticaria on the skin.

Adding method of rice flour

Don't add complementary food to your child before going to bed. At first, complementary food was taught by others. I added some rice flour to the milk before going to bed, saying it would make me fuller and sleep longer. But I found that the baby can't sleep for a long time, and he will still get up and feed several times at night.

Later, I consulted Dr. Bao, and the doctor told me the truth is that milk is hungrier than rice flour, because the nutrients in milk are far better than rice flour. Before going to bed (around ten o'clock), give your child enough milk.

The correct way to add complementary food should be that the first suggestion is to add it in the morning. The doctor said that even if you feel uncomfortable after eating it, you can see a doctor in the afternoon. It is enough to add complementary food every morning for 6 months. After 6 months, you can add another meal of rice flour or porridge around 6 pm (that is, after 6 pm, usually at dinner time). 10 o'clock is still a big bottle of milk, so that the baby is full and can sleep well at night. Rice flour is a staple food, and it is also fed once every 3 to 4 hours. You can dilute it for the first time, put it in a bottle and let him suck it, and gradually thicken it. After two weeks, you must switch to feeding with a spoon instead of a bottle.

With the improvement of children's gastrointestinal function, while adding rice flour, you can also add animal blood such as chickens, ducks and pigs, lean meat paste, fish paste, pig liver paste, chicken liver paste and other foods rich in iron and easy to absorb, and you can directly add rice flour. Be careful not to add any seasoning within 1 year.

Add fruit and vegetable juice:

You can add juice to your baby after 4 months.

Infants should not drink synthetic drinks on the market. They should use special baby drinks or their own freshly squeezed juice and dilute it with water 1: 1 before drinking.

You can also make your own vegetable juice and drink it in 2 months.

The method is to wash fresh vegetables, cut them into small pieces, soak them in water, and take vegetable juice (just juice) to drink. For example, celery juice is effective for constipation, and carrot juice is effective for diarrhea.

Mixed juice can be added after 6 months.

Key points of complementary food addition: from single to diverse, from less to more, from thin to thick, from soft to slightly hard. If gastrointestinal intolerance occurs in the process of adding complementary food, feeding should be stopped and gradually added after gastrointestinal function returns to normal.

The correct order of adding complementary food is:

You can't add vegetarian food until you are 4 months old.

You can't add meat (meat) until you are 6 months old.

Seafood can only be added when it is 9 months old.
