1. Pumpkin tastes slightly sweet and soft, which is especially suitable as a supplementary food for babies. For small-month-old babies, peel the seedless part of the old pumpkin, cut it into strips or dices, and steam it directly in the pot, which can be used as a baby's hand to grasp food and exercise its grasping ability. Steamed and mashed, put half an egg yolk or a spoonful of rice flour, which can be given to the baby who has just added complementary food to exercise his swallowing ability. Or the pumpkin and the rice and millet are cooked and eaten together, which has no damage to the nutritional components of the pumpkin and is easy to digest and make. Pumpkin rice cake is sweet, mixed with rice, and can also be seasoned. It looks like mango custard, the baby's favorite dessert, suitable for eight months.

2. Pumpkin contains polysaccharides such as starch and pectin, and has a delicate taste. In addition, pectin can also protect gastric mucosa from irritation, which is beneficial to chewing and digestion. At the same time, pumpkin also contains a certain trace element zinc, which can help the baby to increase appetite, prevent dry skin and oral ulcers, and promote the baby's growth and development. Because pumpkin is rich in cobalt, vitamins, pectin and other substances, pumpkin powder and other health foods have been developed, which is helpful to treat diabetes, hypertension and prevent cancer. Therefore, eating pumpkin regularly plays a certain role in participating in insulin synthesis, reducing excess cholesterol in the body and enhancing the regeneration ability of liver and kidney cells. It can be seen that it has subtle benefits for the baby's future health.

Pumpkin is rich in vitamin C. As we all know, vitamin C is one of the essential nutrients for our body, which can promote the production of antibodies in the body. Most of the trace elements needed by newborns are absorbed through diet. Supplementing your baby with adequate vitamin C can promote your baby's absorption of iron and calcium in food. If children's intake of trace elements, minerals and vitamins is insufficient, it will easily lead to stunting, malnutrition and low immune function. Pumpkin also contains histidine, which is an essential amino acid for newborns and adults. This amino acid substance can relieve the symptoms of anemia, so pumpkin is of great benefit to newborns.
