The introduction of complementary foods in the diet of an infant is always very worried about a young mother. First, juices and fruits are introduced, but you can also feed with semolina. It is enough to cook it correctly and follow some rules so that feeding is not a hassle.
Necessary
- - semolina, 2 tbsp. l.;
- - granulated sugar, 2 tsp;
- - a pinch of salt;
- - butter 20 g;
- - feeding spoon or bottle with a nipple.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a thin, well-cooked semolina porridge. It should be slightly salted and of normal sweetness, cooked in milk. Add butter to the cooked dish. On a plate of porridge, you need to put no more than 10-15 g of butter. If complementary feeding with cereals is just beginning, this product should not contain any more ingredients.
Step 2
Make sure the temperature of the food is not too high before serving the porridge to your child. That is, never give food to the child directly from the pan, let it be cool. To make sure that the porridge does not burn your child's mouth, drop it on the inside of the crook of your hand. If the temperature is normal, you will not feel any discomfort. The drop should just be warm.
Step 3
Place the baby in the highchair if he is already seated. If the baby cannot sit, then prepare a comfortable place for yourself so that it is comfortable to sit and hold the baby with one hand. A teaspoon can be large for a baby's small mouth at first, so you can buy a special plastic feeding spoon.
Step 4
When you just start giving porridge to a child, do not try to feed the baby everything that was put on the plate. Enough two to three teaspoons of porridge. Even if the baby smacks the porridge with pleasure, limit yourself to the minimum amount of complementary foods for the first time. If the child is very small, it should be carefully fed with semolina. It is necessary to monitor whether the stool is normal, whether colic or other undesirable reactions appear.
Step 5
As you age, you can increase the portion and add chopped fruits or fruit purees. You can also increase the amount of complementary foods if there is no negative reaction to semolina porridge.
