Mother's milk and formula can no longer meet the nutritional needs of a 5-6 month old baby. Therefore, from this age, the child needs to introduce complementary foods. The first course can be vegetable puree.
Instructions
Step 1
The first vegetables in the child's diet are zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower. They have a delicate structure, are well absorbed by the child's body, do not cause allergic reactions and bloating in babies. Introduce all new complementary foods into the baby's diet in very small portions, starting with half a teaspoon. Use breastfeeding or formula to feed your baby.
Step 2
For three days, observe the reaction - whether the crumbs have manifestations of allergies and digestive problems. If the baby's skin is clean, the stool is normal, within one to two weeks, bring the dose to the age norm (150-180 ml), replacing one day's feeding with vegetable lure. First, prepare a one-component puree, as the crumbs get used to, add one new vegetable to the dish. Season the mashed potatoes with a few drops of unrefined olive oil.
Step 3
The vegetable puree should be spoon-fed, but it should be pretty runny at first. When the baby learns to remove food from the spoon and swallow well, switch to a thicker consistency. With the appearance of teeth, the child's food may contain separate well-cooked pieces - for training in chewing. For a child of 10-12 months, boiled vegetables can simply be kneaded with a fork. So gradually the baby will learn to eat thicker and denser dishes.
Step 4
If your little one doesn't like broccoli puree or vegetable marrow at first, don't worry. Calmly remove the plate and offer the breast or formula to the baby. Next time, make cauliflower, pumpkin, turnips, or carrot puree for him. See how the baby will transfer the new food. Try re-offering foods rejected by your baby in two or three weeks.
