Four-month parenting knowledge articles One-four-month-old baby nutrition complementary food
At the age of 4 months, the baby will gradually grow up, gain weight, and increase the demand for energy and various nutrients, but the amount of breast milk secretion cannot be increased. At this time, pure milk can no longer fully meet the baby's nutritional needs. After 4 months, most of the iron reserves in the baby's body have been used, but the milk itself is deficient in iron and needs to be supplemented from food in time. If it is not supplemented in time, the baby is prone to malnutrition anemia. Therefore, while continuing to use breast milk, it is necessary to gradually add complementary food. According to the physiological characteristics of infants, we introduced some nutritional supplements suitable for infants.
We suggest that adding complementary food that is not suitable for digestion too early will cause digestive dysfunction of infants, and adding complementary food too late will make infants lack nutrition. At the same time, it is not conducive to cultivating the baby's ability to eat solid food.
One or more varieties need to be added. Try a complementary food first, 3 days later to 1 week. If the baby has no anorexia or allergic reaction, add a second complementary food.
The amount added should be gradual, and gradually increase after the baby is tolerant of a food, so as not to cause digestive dysfunction.
Food preparation should start from liquid, gradually transition to semi-liquid and then gradually to solid food, so that the baby can have an adaptation process.
In addition, it is better to add complementary food before breastfeeding, and it is easy for babies to accept new food when they are hungry. If the weather is too hot and the baby is unwell, the addition of new complementary food should be suspended to avoid digestive dysfunction. Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid diarrhea.
It is recommended to supplement 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 method of supplementing egg yolk is 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; Steamed eggs can be eaten in 7 or 8 months.
Tip: Don't eat egg whites for 6 months.
The gastrointestinal mucosal barrier of infants within 6 months is not fully developed, and protein molecules in egg white are small, which can easily enter the blood through intestinal mucosa and cause allergic reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to eat it carefully.
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.
The correct way to add complementary food should be to add complementary food once a day for 6 months. After 6 months, you can add another meal of rice flour or porridge at around 6 pm, or a large bottle of milk at 10, so that the baby will be full and 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 have to switch to spoon feeding, so you don't need more bottles.
The above is the complementary food we introduced, which is simple, economical and nutritious, and is very suitable for babies around 4 months old. Because the baby is young, it is not suitable to supplement it in other ways. It is not easy to be absorbed when taking medicine, and it is easy to cause certain side effects. Therefore, we do not recommend the use of supplements. We can supplement all kinds of nutrients needed by the body through gradual dietary supplement. I hope parents can try to give their babies more brains in their diet. I believe your child will be healthy.
Summary: As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, which shows how important it is to supplement food and nutrition in daily life. This is especially true for four-month-old babies. We introduced the growth and development characteristics of babies at this time, and made some nutritional complementary food programs according to this characteristic. You can choose to improve your baby's diet structure according to your baby's physical condition, which is believed to help your baby grow sturdily.
Four-month parenting knowledge Part II Supplementary food for infants from April to June
Generally speaking, we suggest that weaning can be started from about 10 month. Some mothers have to wean their babies in advance for physical reasons. At this time, the baby in the early stage of changing milk grows and develops particularly rapidly, which is the best time to add muddy food. It should be emphasized that this period is the key period for adding paste food. If added in time, the baby can continue to grow healthily. In the meantime, you can have a mushy staple food and 5-6 times of milk. How to choose complementary food for babies aged 4 to 6 months is something that mothers should pay attention to.
When the baby starts to drool, or hates breastfeeding, or the amount of breast milk is not enough, it is necessary to consider adding muddy food to the baby. Of course, some babies still like breast milk or formula milk, and their height and weight are also growing normally. You can wait 5-6 months before adding mushy food, but it must not be later than 6 months. The main purpose of adding food at first is not to supplement nutrition, but to get the baby used to all kinds of food.
To get the baby used to eating muddy food with a spoon as soon as possible, it is best to use a spoon from the time of feeding juice. As early as15th day after birth, the subjects could be fed calcium supplement water with a spoon. Gradually add food, try one first, and then change to another after 3-4 days of adaptation.
The amount should also be from less to more, from thin to thick, from light to thick. Try adding a meal of muddy food at the beginning. It is best to cook food when parents have plenty of time, such as 10 am or 5pm.
Feed the paste food first, not breast-feed. Generally, you should eat puree before feeding, and eat fruit juice and vegetable water at intervals. Don't panic if the baby is choked to boil. You can pat the baby on the back until you finish chewing the food.
Don't worry if the baby doesn't like a certain food. You can stop adding after 1-2 weeks. You can let the baby smell and lick the new food first. Babies also need to learn to adapt to new foods. Never force feed, which will not only cause the baby's aversion to food, but also hurt the baby's self-esteem. Every baby has individual differences, so be patient and understand. Please pay special attention to your baby's temperament and personality. Your baby is unique to mud.
In the process of feeding, constantly create a happy, quiet and focused atmosphere. Look at the baby with loving eyes and he will feel it. And a happy mood will increase appetite. A delicious dish will definitely attract the baby and arouse your appetite. If you succeed, the baby will look forward to every happy meal time with happy expressions and actions.
Don't delay feeding for too long, generally 25-30 minutes is appropriate. So be fully prepared before eating. If the baby doesn't eat much, it doesn't matter, it will be over by then. Don't worry that the baby will be hungry, but know that the smart baby will eat better next time.
We suggest that it is best to eat food with fresh ingredients. You can also feed industrial food, and you must pay attention to the shelf life when buying industrial food. Make sure that the bottle is vacuum-sealed when opening the bottle, otherwise, the food may be contaminated. The industrial food in the opened glass bottle can only be kept in the refrigerator for 48 hours, so don't hesitate to dump it immediately.
Suggested daily food intake: 800 ml milk, cereal (porridge)10-30g, eggs 1-2, meat 5-10-20g, vegetables 5-10-20g and fruits 5-/kloc. In fact, for babies, the best way to supplement nutrition is food supplement, because this method is simple and can be easily done in the usual diet. When the baby is 4 to 6 months old, it enters a period of rapid growth. At this time, it is necessary to supplement nutrition in time, which will be conducive to the healthy growth of the body. We suggest that mothers can make appropriate adjustments in their diet and supplement their baby's complementary food.
Summary: The baby's period from April to June is a very critical period. At this time, you can gradually reduce the amount of breast milk, and you can gradually give your baby some complementary foods such as porridge and puree. On the one hand, it can supplement all kinds of nutrients that the baby needs, and at the same time, it can improve the baby's taste, so that the baby can have an adaptation process of changing diet, which will help to wean smoothly in the future. We introduce the above complementary foods to mothers, hoping to help the baby grow up healthily.
What complementary food does eczema baby eat?
What complementary food is suitable for eczema babies is a problem that many mothers should consider. In fact, the importance of complementary food to babies is sometimes even more serious than we think. The baby's constitution is relatively simple, and there will be uncomfortable reactions after eating inappropriate complementary food. For eczema babies, it is very important to choose the right complementary food. Now let's see what complementary food the eczema baby eats.
What complementary food does eczema baby eat? Baby can add complementary food after April, such as very soft porridge, light soup, pasta, rice flour, egg yolk, vegetable paste, fruit paste, milk, soybean milk and so on. As long as we pay attention to the temperature, eat a little more meals, and change from thin to thick, there will be no big problem.
Adding complementary food is a gradual process. Many times breast milk or milk powder is still the staple food. Therefore, before the problem of what complementary food the baby with eczema eats, it should be noted that breast milk and milk powder cannot be the cause of the baby's eczema. Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to fish, shrimp, beef and mutton and other foods that are easy to cause allergies or spicy stimulation. They should pay attention to a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables.
If milk powder is the staple food, you should choose low-sensitivity formula for your baby. If the source of baby eczema is milk powder, the doctor will recommend boiling water to make milk powder, but this will affect the nutritional composition of milk powder and is not suitable for use. These can minimize the frequency of eating milk powder and reduce eczema.
What complementary food does eczema baby eat inappropriate? When the baby has eczema, it is best not to eat hot and dry complementary food, so as not to aggravate the degree of eczema. Hot and dry foods such as beef, dog meat, chicken soup and pigeon soup are the most taboo foods for eczema babies. In addition, spicy food should be avoided as much as possible. If you want to add eggs, you should also pay attention to your baby's reaction. If the baby doesn't adapt, don't add it.
Infantile eczema is chronic. Under normal circumstances, it should be almost two years old, and there is no specific medicine. In order to alleviate the baby's pain, it is necessary to pay more attention to complementary food. Mothers should have their own experience about what complementary food is suitable for eczema babies and what complementary food is not suitable for.
In the case of eczema, if the baby is older and has strong resistance, the chances of recovery are basically greater. As long as the baby can eat whatever he wants, he can feed the baby more boiled water, or add chrysanthemum, honeysuckle or Ophiopogon japonicus to boiled water, which will have a preventive effect on eczema. In addition, if your baby's eczema is serious, you should use drugs to control the infection, but you should pay attention to the right amount, because most of these drugs are hormone drugs, which are easy to affect your baby's body. I will provide you with a secret recipe. Using Yumeijing Cream when the baby has eczema can relieve eczema and prevent eczema from leaving ugly marks on the baby's skin.
Every detail of the baby affects the mother's heart. For mothers, the baby is an irreplaceable important existence in life, and it is every mother's wish to let the baby get the most intimate and comprehensive care. Mothers, remember to think carefully about what complementary food your eczema baby eats, so as not to aggravate your baby's eczema.
Four-month parenting knowledge Chapter 4 Supplementary food for premature infants
Because most premature babies have congenital malnutrition, we suggest adding some complementary foods to premature babies while breastfeeding. This can not only supplement the shortcomings of some mothers' lack of sleep, but also supplement the baby with various nutrients needed by the body. So what specific ingredients should be added? Which ingredients are beneficial to the baby's healthy development? The following is our in-depth analysis of this problem. I hope you can add complementary food to your baby step by step according to the method we introduced.
Supplementary food addition principle:
(1) from less to more, such as egg yolk from 1/4. If there is no adverse reaction in 2-3 days, add it to 1/3 ~ 1/2, and eat one gradually.
(2) From thin to thick, rice soup is drunk for about 10 days-porridge is drunk for about 10 days.
(3) From fine to coarse, vegetable water-vegetable paste-cut vegetables.
(4) Get used to one plus another.
(5) When the child is healthy and has normal digestive function, the reaction will be suspended for two days, and then resumed after recovery.
Supplementary food addition sequence: 4-5 months: egg yolk, gruel, soybean milk powder substitute, vegetable paste, carrot, fruit paste and broth. 6-8 months: custard, tofu, liver mud, fish mud, lean meat, thick porridge, rotten noodles, biscuits, broken vegetables and broken fruits.
We suggest that 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 1/8 egg yolks every day, and then gradually increase 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; Steamed eggs can be eaten in 7 or 8 months. However, we don't recommend the baby to eat egg white, because the baby's digestive tract mucosal barrier is not fully developed within 6 months, and the protein molecules in egg white are small, which can easily enter the blood through the 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.
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 at around 6 pm, or a large bottle of milk at 10, so that the baby will be full and 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, it is necessary to switch to spoon feeding, and it is best not to use bottle again.
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, you should stop feeding. In short, we must master the step-by-step method. Because premature babies are born with poor physique, parents must seize the opportunity to supplement the day after tomorrow. Before 1 year old, it is a good opportunity to supplement nutrition. Use the method we introduced above to add complementary food to your baby appropriately, and at the same time master the methods of weaning and feeding complementary food.
Conclusion: Premature infants will suffer from malnutrition at birth, so we suggest that parents should master nutritional supplements in the later nursing work, and the corresponding needs and types of infants of different months will be different. Therefore, you can choose different ingredients to make complementary food at different times to supplement your baby's nutrition. These are our suggestions on nutritional supplements for month-old infants. I hope you can supplement all kinds of nutrition for your baby's physical growth according to our suggestions and scientific methods.
Four-month parenting knowledge five or three kinds of exquisite complementary foods to supplement calcium for your baby
Many mothers worry that the baby's calcium intake is not enough, and that the baby is not tall and the bones are not strong enough. However, the calcium supplement products sold in the market dare not give them to the baby. In fact, the baby's calcium supplement can be obtained from the food planted in daily life. Now I recommend three exquisite complementary foods, which are not only delicious but also can supplement calcium for the baby.
1. Shredded shrimps and vegetables
Ingredients: egg 1 piece, 5g shrimp skin, 50g Chinese cabbage, spontaneous flour, seasoning.
Practice: soak in warm water to soften the shrimp skin, then chop it up and add fried eggs; After washing Chinese cabbage, blanch it with boiling water, chop it up and mix it with eggs to make stuffing; Stir the flour spontaneously, add the stuffing, wrap it into buns, and steam it in a pot.
Tip: Shrimp skin is rich in calcium and phosphorus. Scalding Chinese cabbage with boiling water can effectively reduce the oxalic acid content, which is beneficial to the absorption of calcium in the intestine. Eggs are rich in nutrition, so they are welcomed by babies over 10 month.
Second, fish and vegetable rice paste
Ingredients: rice flour (or baby cake), fish 15? 25g, vegetables 15? 25g, a little salt.
Practice: add water to the rice flour, stir it into a paste, and put it in a pot for about 8 minutes. Then wash the vegetables and fish, chop the mud and pour it into the pot until the fish is cooked, and add the right amount of salt.
Tip: Fish is rich in calcium, which can make babies grow taller, have strong bones and promote brain development. It is recommended to cook cooked food for babies over 4 months old.
Third, fragrant bone soup noodles
Ingredients: 200g of backbone or tibia of pig or cow, 5g of Longxu Noodles, 50g of green vegetables, a little salt and vinegar.
Practice: Mash the bones and put them in a pot and boil them over medium heat. Add appropriate amount of rice vinegar and continue to cook for 30 minutes. Take the cooked thick soup as the base soup, add Longxu Noodles and green vegetable foam until the noodles are cooked, and then add some salt.
Tip: Bone soup is rich in calcium, protein, carbohydrates, iron and other nutrients, which can provide calcium and iron content for babies over 1 year old and enhance bone strength.
