The normal development of a child up to six months is fully supported by breast milk. When the baby grows up, complementary foods are gradually introduced into the baby's diet. Ideal for starting complementary cereals without added milk, sugar or fruit, consisting of one type of grain.
Instructions
Step 1
As a rule, as the first complementary foods, babies are prescribed puree from vegetables, because it contains many minerals and vitamins. They also do this due to the fact that kids who have tried porridge first of all often then refuse vegetables. Therefore, offer porridge to the baby 3-4 weeks after you can completely replace one breastfeeding (or mixture) with vegetable complementary foods. If your baby is not gaining weight well, has an unstable stool, he is worried about colic or frequent regurgitation, still start complementary foods with cereal dishes.
Step 2
For the first acquaintance, offer your baby gluten-free dairy-free rice, buckwheat or corn porridge. Instant dry cereals are very convenient for babies. To prepare them, add warm boiled water to the powder, according to the instructions on the box, and mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Introduce porridge into the baby's diet gradually, starting with one or two teaspoons. Then feed the baby with a breast (or mixture). After about a week, completely replace one day's feeding with complementary foods. You should not immediately offer your baby a wide range of cereals: first, offer 1-2 types and give him time to get used to them.
Step 4
If your baby is not allergic to gluten and milk protein, introduce oatmeal into his diet, then gradually switch to milk porridge with and without fruit. You can use dry milk porridge that requires cooking, as well as flour for baby food. By the way, you can make flour for cooking porridge yourself by grinding any cereal in an electric coffee grinder.
