Often, a four-month-old baby is already lacking only one mother's milk. Doctors advise to introduce complementary foods - gradually, starting with juices. It is recommended to feed the child 4 - 5 times a day.
Necessary
Juicer, plastic grater, double boiler
Instructions
Step 1
Complementary foods in the form of juices should be introduced one at a time in the following sequence: first, juice from green apples (it has the lowest allergenic properties), then juice from cherries, then from black currants, from pears, from plums and from carrots. After that, you can already give the baby mixed juices. It is necessary to start giving the juice from 3-5 drops, increasing the volume within a week. Tart and acidic juices should be diluted with water. A little later, you should try to give fruit puree prepared with a plastic grater. There is also a sequence here: first an apple, then a banana, pear, plum, peach and blueberry. The amount of juices and fruit purees in the daily diet should be the same. It is determined in milliliters by multiplying the child's age in months by 10 (at 5 months - 50 ml, etc.).
Step 2
It is recommended to introduce vegetable complementary foods one and a half to two months after fruit and berry. Better to start with carrot puree. Then you should try to give mashed zucchini, then - from pumpkin, turnip, potatoes (it must first be soaked), white cabbage, beets and green peas. Gradually, you need to start adding deodorized refined vegetable oil (sunflower, corn, olive) to the puree, starting from 1 g and gradually increasing to 5 g - this is 1 teaspoon per day. By gradually introducing different vegetables, you can easily trace which of them are causing allergic reactions in the child.
Step 3
A seven-month-old baby can already be given yolk 2-5 times a week as a complementary food, starting from 18 yolks per day. From the eighth to ninth month of life, the child is allowed to feed with curds (at first - 12 teaspoons, but after a month it is worth bringing the portion to 30 g) and even rye bread. Gradually, it is necessary to accustom the baby to cereals - first of all to buckwheat, then to oatmeal and rice. You can already give 5 g of meat puree (from beef, turkey, chicken or rabbit), by the year increasing the portion to 60-70 g. From 8-9 months a couple of times a week, instead of meat puree, you can feed the crumbs with fish (preferably puree from low-fat varieties - cod, pike perch, hake, navaga, etc.).
