How to Add Solid Foods for Your Baby

Patient's question:

For the reason of the mother Since childhood, I have been drinking formula (Yili Premium) What kind of assistance do you care about: What should the child eat? After buying, the child only eats a few mouthfuls and then stops. How should supplementary food be added?...

Doctor's answer:

Every time a new food is introduced, it must first be given in very small amounts, meaning it should be tested. If the child shows no adverse reactions, then provide more. For example, when offering scrambled egg yolk to a child, start with 1/4, and if the child tolerates it, gradually increase it to 1/3, then 1/2, 3/4, and finally to a whole serving.
2. From one to many different types. When introducing prepared foods to a child, do not offer many varieties at once. Introduce one type at a time. For instance, if you have just started with scrambled egg yolk, do not introduce apples at the same time. Wait until the child has fully adapted to the egg yolk before introducing apples. The principle of introducing food from one to many different types is to wait until the child has fully adapted to one food before introducing another.
3. From thin to thick. First, offer the child plenty of easily digestible, liquid-rich foods such as various soups and juices. Next, provide semi-liquid foods in the form of mashed foods. Then, offer soft solid foods like soft rice porridge or soft noodles. Finally, you can introduce solid foods such as rice, diced vegetables, and minced meat.
4. From fine to coarse. When first starting, prepare the food into a fine paste. As the child grows, you can gradually transition to crumbled or minced textures. Later, you can offer larger chunks of food.
The principles for introducing prepared foods should also include this one: only offer food when the child is healthy. If the child is sick or has difficulty digesting a particular food, it is best not to offer it or to delay its introduction.
Wishing the baby good health~~~
