Generally from the beginning of 4-6 months you can add complementary food to your baby. Mixed feeding or artificial feeding babies can add complementary food after 4 months, while the exclusive breast-feeding baby is later, but each baby's growth and development is not the same, individual differences are not the same, so the time to add complementary food Can not be generalized. As to when to add supplementary foods to your baby, these "signals" issued by your baby suggest that your mother should add supplementary foods.
1, weight
Weight needs to reach 2 times of birth, at least 6 kg.
2, not enough
For example, if a baby could sleep until dawn at night, now he often cries in the middle of the night, or the sleep time is getting shorter and shorter; the number of breast-feeding is increased to 8-10 times a day or 1000 milliliters of formula, but the baby is still hungry for a while. Just cry, want to eat for a while. When your baby has an accelerated growth period around 6 months, it is the best time to start adding complementary foods.
3, development
The baby can control the head and upper body and can support or sit on it. The chest can stand upright and the head can stand up. The baby can express his desire to eat or not to eat by turning his head, leaning forward, leaning back, etc. The situation of forced feeding occurred.
4, behavior
If others are eating next to their baby, the baby will be interested and may also grab a spoon and grab chopsticks. If your baby plugs a hand or toy into your mouth, it means your baby is interested in eating.
5, tongue extension
Many parents find that when they are just feeding their baby food, the baby often vomits something that has just been fed into his mouth and thinks that the baby does not like to eat. In fact, the performance of the baby's tongue extension is an instinctive self-protection, known as “reaching tongue reflexâ€, indicating that the time for feeding and feeding is not enough. Reflexes usually disappear until around 4 months. If you insist on feeding food supplements before disappearing, blindly hard-stick, hard-feed, not only the parents are frustrated, so that the baby also feel unpleasant, is not conducive to the cultivation of good eating habits.
6, eat
If the parent picks up food and puts it into the baby's mouth, the baby will try to break into his mouth and swallow. The baby smiles, looks happy and is very tasty, indicating that the baby is interested in eating. At this time, It is safe to feed your baby. If your baby spits out food, turn his head away or push his parents' hand, indicating that the baby does not want to eat or eat. Parents must not be forced to try again every few days.
7, food supplement time
The latest WHO regulations require that pure breast milk or formula be fed to the baby for 6 months before adding supplementary food (the old rule was 4 months) because breast milk or formula milk can provide enough nutrition for 0-6 months of the baby. , too early to add food supplement can cause baby allergies and physical discomfort.
Because the baby's digestion and absorption system and immunity are not mature enough to cope with too many complicated foods. If the mother really wants to add it earlier, she must wait until the baby is full for at least 17 weeks. When the baby reaches six months, it is necessary to add supplementary food because the amount of iron in breast milk and formula milk is obviously insufficient, and the baby needs to take it from the complementary food. At this time, the baby has matured in all aspects and can gradually cope with various changes of complementary food. .
In theory, the supplement food supplement is more than 4 months, but it really depends on your baby's condition in life.
