There is no doubt that "eating" is something parents attach great importance to. Many post-80s and post-90s mothers who can't cook began to cook for their children and tried various methods. Isn't it just to let your children eat well? So what is a good meal?
1, rich menu
If the complementary food was added correctly a few months ago, the menu at this stage should have been very rich. The principle of cake mother's menu configuration for rice cakes is to be as rich as possible. The main carnivorous dishes are eaten in turn. There are vegetables and meat in a meal, and yogurt and fruit are desserts every afternoon. Many working mothers really don't have the energy to prepare complementary food. They may not be able to eat that many kinds a day, but at least every day is different.
Step 2 make reasonable arrangements
From 10 month, the number of complementary foods should be 3-4 times a day, including 3 meals and 1 snack. At this age, complementary food can be eaten at one time without drinking milk. Mothers arrange the time to drink milk according to their baby's condition. For example, rice cakes are usually eaten before going to bed and when waking up, and then eaten during the day according to the situation.
3. Enough milk
10- 12-month-old babies should ensure 600ml of milk every day. What if the baby doesn't like breastfeeding? It can be mixed with complementary food, or yogurt and cheese can be used to make up for the lack of milk.
Adjust food characters in time.
Take this out separately, because this is where older mothers need to pay great attention. After eating muddy food for a period of time, we should adjust the shape of the food in time and gradually transition to broken powder and small pieces. Eating muddy food for a long time is not conducive to the exercise of children's chewing ability, and may cause anorexia after one year old.
There is a message for me from cake powder: 1 year-old children have been eating mud, but now they don't like anything and eat nothing.
This is very easy to happen. If you don't adjust your baby's food characteristics in time, when you are older, you won't eat what you don't chew, and you won't be able to swallow what you chew. Remember that children will eat like us sooner or later, and learning to eat a little retching is just like learning to walk and wrestle, nothing.
The baby wants to eat by himself.
Babies of 6-7 months can feed their fingers and try to eat independently. No matter how conservative parents are, at this age, you must let your baby experience the fun of eating. Let the baby grab something to eat by himself, which helps to improve the hand-eye coordination and chewing ability, and can also significantly improve the situation that children need to be teased before they want to eat.
At first, the baby will grasp the food with the whole palm and prepare him with pieces, sticks or chunks of food. When babies learn to hold things with their fingers, you can give them smaller food. After 7 months, the rice cake began to be eaten by itself (but not every meal). After a few months, it was easy to catch food the size of rice grains and put it in your mouth.
Foods suitable for baby's hands: steamed, boiled and roasted vegetables: sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots and pumpkins (basically all vegetables can be used); Raw soft vegetables, such as cucumbers; All kinds of fruits, toast, cheese, noodles.
