With the introduction of complementary foods, the mother may have difficulties. If before that the child was just sucking and was full, now it is necessary to carefully weigh the portions and regularly check the reaction to the new product. It is a little easier for a mother whose baby is bottle-fed to introduce cottage cheese and egg yolk into his diet, since she already knows if he has a tendency to allergies.
Instructions
Step 1
Some parents are in a rush to introduce dairy products into complementary foods because they believe they cannot harm their baby. But first, the stomach of the crumbs must get used to fruit and vegetable purees and liquid cereals, introduced from 6-7 months. And yolk and cottage cheese in complementary foods appear a little later - at 8-9 months.
Step 2
The mother of an artificial baby can introduce cottage cheese into his diet at 8 months, but babies should be given it a little later - from the ninth month. If you do this earlier, problems with blood pressure and metabolism may begin. In addition, it is necessary to carefully choose a dairy product, as regular curd is too heavy for the delicate stomach of a baby.
Step 3
The baby's first acquaintance with the curd should be started with a tiny portion - 2-3 g. If no negative reaction follows in a day, you can give the child the same portion of curd. The dose should be increased gradually, about 2 g per day, bringing it to two tablespoons in 2-3 weeks. And after a year, you can give your child 3-4 tablespoons of cottage cheese a day.
Step 4
If you do not have the opportunity to buy cottage cheese in a children's dairy kitchen, you need to cook it yourself, or purchase a special children's cottage cheese. But in no case should you give your child an "adult" fermented milk product from a supermarket, which has a thicker consistency.
Step 5
Often children refuse to eat pure curd. In this case, you should mix it into fruit or berry puree. To make the mass homogeneous, you need to mix it in a blender with a small amount of berries and sour cream.
Step 6
It is more difficult to introduce egg yolk into a child's menu. Since this is an allergenic product, it must be given alone or with proven one-component meals such as cereals.
Step 7
It is worth introducing egg yolk at 9-10 months, but not earlier. The safest is quail yolk. It should be given according to this scheme - the first 10 days (provided that there is no allergic reaction) - one sixth. The next 10 days - in a quarter, then in a half.
Step 8
After only one month of consumption, it is worth mixing the yolk with multicomponent dishes - soups, mashed potatoes, etc. A whole egg can be given no earlier than a year.
Step 9
As in the case of cottage cheese, the yolk is not always to the taste of a small child. To introduce this product into complementary foods, it must be kneaded together with other components - vegetables or porridge. If you simply sprinkle boiled cereals or mashed potatoes with yolk crumbs, the child may recognize an unusual taste and refuse to eat.
Step 10
Egg yolk and cottage cheese are very important in baby foods. However, it is worth being patient before the child gets used to their taste.
