There are many milestones that need to be achieved when a baby is ready to start to eat solid foods. Here are some of the big ones.
Baby Milestone 1: When They Can Start Solids
Most pediatricians, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend introducing solid foods to babies when they are between ages 4 and 6 months. That’s when they start to lose the “tongue-thrust reflex” or extrusion reflex, which is important for sucking the breast or bottle when they are younger, but interferes with feeding. Babies at this point can also lift their heads up independently and hold their necks high.
If your baby is around this age, can sit up well with support, and shows interest in the foods they see you eating, it’s probably a good time to venture into feeding your baby solid food. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, it is recommended that you wait until they are 6 months to start solids.
Baby Milestone 2: When They’re Ready to Move From Puree to Chunks
“Chunking up” babies’ food is a process -- obviously, they shouldn’t go straight from rice cereal to raisin bran. But after the first few weeks of adjusting to eating rather than just drinking their food, your baby should be ready to handle a little more texture in solid foods.
Introduce new textures slowly. Good starters are mashed bananas or mashed avocados. You can also use the “staged” store-bought baby foods -- going from the smooth puree of stage 1 to the slightly thicker stage 2 and then the chunkier stage 3 by around 9 months of age.
(Babies don’t necessarily have to have a lot of teeth to handle more texture in their foods -- they can often gum soft foods very well!)
Baby Milestone 3: When They Can Sit in a High Chair
When babies are ready to eat solid foods, they can sit upright with support and hold up their head and neck. They're capable of sitting in a high chair! That's a serious milestone, but you'll need to follow these safety rules: Always buckle a baby into their chair for safety, even if they are unable to get out with the tray in place. As they get older and become more active, they may be able to squirm out. It is a good habit to buckle a child as soon as you place them in their chair -- even if you think there's no chance they could fall out or climb out. You may get distracted for a moment, which happens really easily when we are trying to do a million things at once!
Baby Milestone 4: When They Can Manage Finger Foods
Babies between ages 7 and 11 months usually tell you they’re ready to eat more grown-up foods by trying to grab them from you.
Almost any food that is healthy and nutritious and has a soft texture makes a good finger food, if it’s cut small enough: diced pasta; small pieces of well-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, or zucchini; and pea-sized bites of chicken or soft meat. Small, unsweetened round cereals and cereal puffs are also a good choice. Avoid feeding your baby grapes, hot dogs (even cut up), nuts, and hard candy, as they are choking hazards.
At first babies “rake” food into their hand, but soon they develop the “pincer grasp” that allows them to pick up small objects between thumb and forefinger. At that point, your baby can become a pro at self-feeding, so encourage finger foods and let your baby explore!
Baby Milestone 5: When They Start Using Spoons
Almost as soon as babies adjust to being fed with a spoon, they'll want to hold and grab the spoon themselves and put it in their mouths. That doesn't mean they're graceful, of course.
Most babies don’t learn to use a spoon effectively until after their first birthday, but let a younger baby who’s interested give it a whirl for practice.
Try giving them a soft-tipped spoon to hold while you feed them with another. They can get used to holding the spoon themselves and will also be distracted from grabbing yours.
When you think they are ready to actually navigate the spoon into their mouth, try thicker, stickier foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or cottage cheese. Another tip: Put some cream cheese on the spoon and then a few pieces of O-shaped cereal on top. The cream cheese won’t fly everywhere, and the baby can get the experience of actually getting the cereal into their mouth.
Expect a mess! Use a plastic or other waterproof bib, and put a mat under the high chair to make cleanup easier.
Baby Milestone 6: When They Can Try Highly Allergenic Foods
Some pediatricians still recommend waiting until children are at least age 1 before offering them certain foods that are considered highly allergenic, like eggs or fish. But current research doesn’t demonstrate any benefit to waiting past a certain age to introduce these foods, unless you have a significant family history of food allergies or other reasons to believe your baby may be predisposed to them.
There is no evidence that introducing highly allergenic foods to children under age 1 makes them any more likely to be allergic to them, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) now says it’s fine to give these foods before the baby's first birthday. Many pediatricians are still very cautious about shellfish and peanuts, however, because allergic reactions to these foods can be particularly dangerous.
Baby Milestone 7: When They Can Drink Water
Babies don't need water during their first 6 months of life. They get all the water they need from breast milk or baby formula. Babies under age 6 months should not be given any water at all, because it’s easy to fill up their tiny stomachs -- and they should be filling up on the nutrients they receive from the milk to grow. Once they start eating mostly solid foods, around age 9 months, they can start water with meals using a sippy cup.
If your older baby shows an interest in water that you’re drinking, there’s no harm in letting them have a few sips.
Just don’t let it replace the nutritious breast milk or formula they should be getting.
Baby Milestone 8: When They Can Completely Feed Themselves
Mastering eating with utensils is a long process. Most babies do not become really skilled at it until they are well past their first birthday. Encourage your child to practice safely, and again, be prepared for a little mess. (How else will you get the “oatmeal in the hair” pictures that will embarrass them years later?)
When is a child ready to start solids?
Diving into the world of solid food with your baby is a messy, adorable milestone that, let’s be honest, sometimes feels a little confusing. While some little ones happily slurp down baby cereal at 6 months, others won’t go near a mashed carrot until they’re hitting the 9-month mark — what gives?
The truth is, while solid food exposes babies to new tastes and textures, it’s not even necessary in the very beginning (yes, really).
“While the general recommendation for starting solids is between 4 and 6 months old, solids at this point are more about introducing baby to new tastes and developing oral motor function,” says Dr.
Melanie Custer, a pediatrician at Deaconess Clinic in Evansville, Indiana. “Breast milk or formula should continue to be the primary source of nutrition through 12 months.”
Of course, when your baby is eyeballing your bowl of oatmeal every morning, it’s only natural to start wondering when to start baby food. Here, experts and veteran parents weigh in on the dos and don’ts of starting solids, a.k.a. Stage 1 baby foods. Ready the bibs!
What is Stage 1 baby food?
Stage 1 baby foods are single-ingredient foods that are very thin in consistency. You can either buy them at the store or make them yourself, as long as they’re a smooth puree with zero chunks and include just one ingredient so you’re introducing your baby to one new food at a time.
And remember, every child is different and develops at their own individual pace. Check with your child’s doctor for baby food recommendations during the first year.
When to start Stage 1 baby food
According to Custer, the reason it’s recommended that full-term babies wait until 6 months to try solids is because they’re losing iron stores that were built during pregnancy, and iron is important for infants’ brain development.
“Growing babies need all the nutrients they can get — and breast milk and formula are both far superior to solids when it comes to nutrients, including iron,” says Jenifer Thompson, an advanced practice dietician at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. “It’s important to remember that solid foods are also called complementary foods because their intention is to complement the breast milk and/or formula baby is drinking.”
Thompson also notes that offering solids too early on — prior to 4 months — has been associated with excessive weight gain and adiposity (excess fat) in preschool and older ages.
Signs baby is ready to start solid food
Knowing your baby is ready for Stage 1 foods goes beyond celebrating their half-year birthday. It’s important to look out for developmental and social signals, as well.
“One of the biggest indicators that your baby is ready for solid foods is that they’re showing an interest in what other family members are eating,” says Dr. Kristen Treegoob, a pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
If you notice baby staring at your food and opening their mouth or leaning forward if food is ever offered, these are signs that solid foods have piquéd your baby’s interest, according to Thompson.
“I knew my son was ready for solids when, at 7 months, he started staring — like, really staring — at all of our food during dinner,” says mom of two Erin Henderson, of Waltham, Massachusetts. “It reached a point where we felt bad eating in front of him!”
Other signs your baby may be ready for solids, according to Custer and Thompson, include:
- They can sit up with little to no support.
- They can hold their head up without being wobbly.
- Their tongue thrust reflex has disappeared. “Before introducing solids, it’s important to make sure your baby can open their mouth for a spoon and accept food off of it, rather than pushing it away with their tongue, which is an involuntary habit until about 4 months,” says Custer.
What Stage 1 baby food to start with
According to Thompson, it’s recommended that early solid foods provide a source of iron, protein and zinc.
But remember, you’re complementing your baby’s diet, not revamping it, so it’s OK to get a little creative and go with your gut.
“There is no medical evidence that solid foods must be introduced in any particular order, or that vegetables must be introduced before fruits to ensure that they don’t have a preference for sweets and will it not lead to a dislike of vegetables,” says Thompson.
And once you get going, continue to mix it up.
“There is no one-size-fits-all for solid food introduction, and we typically recommend parents introduce a variety of tastes, colors and food groups in the first few months,” says Treegoob. “That said, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfed infants first begin with iron-rich foods, which include iron-fortified infant cereals and iron-rich pureed meats. Formula-fed infants typically get enough iron through formula, so they may have a little more flexibility at first.”
Here’s a list of first foods to try (make sure all are pureed to very thin consistency):
- Bananas.
- Avocados.
- Sweet potatoes.
- Carrots.
- Pureed meats, such as chicken and turkey.
- Butternut squash.
- Peaches.
- Applesauce.
- Grains, such as barley, oats, wheat and rice.
Custer does note that infants should not eat raw or cooked honey until 12 months, as it might contain spores that can cause infantile botulism, a serious illness that can hamper an infant’s ability to move, eat and breathe. For more tips on food storage, our experts weigh in on how long baby food lasts.
How to start Stage 1 foods safely
When your baby first starts experimenting with solids, keep in mind it’s a gradual process, and you’re still a ways off from three solid meals per day. In the beginning, it’s best to think of solids as more of a snack than a meal.
“Babies will often start with just a bite or two at first and advance to three to four tablespoons at a time,” says Custer. “When they’re first starting off around 6 months, they can have solids one or two times a day.
”
“Foods should be offered one at a time when babies are starting off with solids,” says Thompson. “Then, wait between three to four days before introducing a new one, so you can properly identify an adverse reaction or intolerance.”
Here are a few more tips for feeding your baby:
- Make sure they’re sitting in an upright position, such as in a highchair, to prevent the risk of choking.
- Add a little breast milk or formula to their food. “At first, foods should be just slightly thicker than breast milk or formula to allow the infant to get used to eating,” Custer says. “Foods can get thicker as their eating skills are mastered.”
- Always feed your baby with a spoon. “Unless you’ve been advised by your pediatrician, never put solid foods, including infant cereal, in bottles with or without milk,” says Treegoob.
- Give baby breast milk or formula first. “Both of my babies were more open to trying solid foods in the beginning when they were happy and relaxed,” says mom of two Darcy McConnell of Garwood, New Jersey.
“That was always after they had their bottle.”
Also, be patient. Starting solids is a learning curve for everyone.
“If your baby turns their head away, spits out food or pushes you away with their hands when you try to feed them solid food, then they are not quite ready,” says Treegoob. “Try again in a few days.”
How baby-led weaning works
A less conventional way to start your baby on real food is baby-led weaning, which forgoes what’s thought of as Stage 1 baby food altogether, as well as a spoon.
“The baby-led weaning approach to introducing solid foods recommends that purees and traditional baby foods be omitted, and to start with finger foods, as well as self-feeding right from the beginning,” says Thompson. “This method may be preferred for some, but should always be discussed with a pediatrician since a possible concern of this method is the risk of choking, which could be minimized with appropriate food choices.”
Proponents of baby-led weaning believe that letting baby pick, choose and explore food on their own will help with appetite control overall (possibly reducing the risk of obesity later in life), as well as promote a taste for a wider range of foods.
All of this said, research on baby-led weaning is still fairly scant, so it’s important to discuss it with your pediatrician if you choose to take this approach.

It is recommended to introduce complementary foods at about 6 months of age, until this period the baby eats either mother's milk or formula. The introduction of the first complementary foods can be started earlier than 6 months, but only for medical reasons, a pediatrician's consultation is required. The introduction of solid food earlier than four months of age is strictly not recommended. To date, the timing of the introduction of complementary foods for infants, both on mother's milk and on an artificially adapted mixture, has been equated.
The most important stage, the main purpose of which is to introduce the child to solid food and teach him how to use a spoon.
During this period, the mother offers the baby small portions of complementary foods, starting with the minimum dosages and gradually increasing the number of servings to the required minimum. It is important to understand and be patient with the first experiments with nutrition. Perhaps the baby will not always swallow food, often smear it on the chin, so that the palms, mother and everything around will be dirty, because he needs time to learn how to take food from a spoon, move it into his mouth, chew and swallow.
First stage baby food (4) 6-7 months is a term referring to baby food where the food is well and thoroughly mashed and strained. These foods are great for babies who are just getting introduced to adult foods. The products of this period are aimed at babies who are aged from (4) 6-7 to 8 months.
In the first stage of baby food, liquid and pureed foods with the lowest allergy index are easier to digest for tiny tummies.
Foods such as zucchini, cauliflower, pumpkin, etc. are usually introduced. In stores, you need to pay attention to the labeling of ready-made baby food, which usually indicates the age of the child from which this product can be consumed. Today, most parents are ready to skip the first important stage of baby food.
Mom's milk during this period is also the main source of nutrition, and for "artists" - milk formula. Moreover, the feeding of the child does not change, he is also breastfed on demand, and with milk formula in the same quantities and at the same time as before. There is no need to introduce any additional fluids.
Complementary foods at this stage are one-component products, soft medium consistency, without salt, sugar and spices. The choice in favor of purchased canned purees or home-made products is up to the baby's parents.
At this stage, it is best to introduce the baby to vegetable purees or cereals. The decision with which product to start is made by the parents together with the baby's pediatrician.
With normal weight, vegetable purees are introduced, and with a lack of weight - cereals.
If porridge was introduced first, then the next complementary foods are vegetable purees and vice versa. For better assimilation and getting used to the first complementary foods, you can add expressed breast milk or a mixture. It is also necessary to remember that it is necessary to introduce products at intervals of 5-7 days from each other.

Complementary foods at 6 months - Medical Health Portal
Six months is the deadline for importing nutritional supplements.
If you haven't started giving your baby food other than breast milk or formula, don't put it off any further. This is the time when the most favorable "critical window" for the introduction of complementary foods ends. If the introduction of complementary foods is delayed, the baby may become deficient in nutrients, especially iron. A lagging child develops the ability to chew solid foods. Also, the introduction of a large number of products allowed at this age increases the risk of developing allergies.
If weaning starts at 6 months
Zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower puree are first courses for children who are gaining weight and are prone to constipation. Add 1-3 g of vegetable oil to the vegetable puree.
Dairy-free rice, buckwheat or corn are good choices for first foods. Dairy-free rice, buckwheat, and corn are good choices for children who are slow to gain weight and have frequent loose stools. Salt and pepper the porridge and brush with oil (3 g or less).
Introduce complementary foods gradually, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon. 150g for 7-10 days. This is the norm for 6 months. If your child does not want to eat all of this, do not insist. Breast milk or formula is still a staple in the first year of life, but it's important to introduce your baby to a variety of flavors.
Do not give supplements if your child is sick, needs vaccinations, or has been vaccinated. A new product line can be introduced 10-14 days after the development of the previous one.
When solid food is continued at 6 months
A 6-month-old baby already receives a wide variety of vegetables and cereals. Portions for this age remain the same - 150 g per piece, but you will have to work on a different menu. For those who have a tolerance, try different types of vegetable purees, milk porridges, etc.
At six months, new ingredients appear, such as meat and fruit purees. It is also acceptable to give the child cookies.
Meat puree in the diet of a child of 6 months
Start eating animal protein along with meat. It is the main building material for a growing organism, and also contains the necessary heme iron. This is iron, which is part of hemoglobin. Deficiency can lead to iron deficiency anemia.
Rabbit, turkey, mutton puree, lean pork, beef and veal are good first courses.
At 6 months, start feeding them grain-free, fiber-free meats such as finely ground potatoes. Difficult to cook at home. Homemade meat mash is difficult to digest, so the recommended amount is about half that of commercial mash. The advantage of industrial brews lies in the strict quality control of raw materials and the technological process during production.
When buying meat in the market or in a store, you do not know how it was produced, where and under what conditions it was stored, whether antibiotics or growth hormones were added to animal feed.
If you do choose homemade meat supplements, be careful about the choice of raw materials and carefully monitor compliance with hygiene standards when preparing meat.
How to apply?
- Enter meat additives according to the general rules. Initially, we will import one-component purees from one type of meat. When introducing mashed meats into complementary foods, start with 1/4 teaspoon and double the amount daily.
- After 7-10 days, increase to 30 g to give canned industrial mashed potatoes, and to 15 g to give independent boiled meat.
- It's a good idea to mix it with vegetable mashed potatoes so your child can easily accept new foods. In this way, children will not push the unique taste of the new product and will be able to eat meat in delight with vegetables.
Manual 1 fruit puree included in meal with 6 month old baby
Fruits are not only vitamins and minerals, but also a source of dietary fiber necessary for normal digestion. Improves bowel movements, releases regular stools and prevents constipation.
Healthy mushni fruit will be introduced to the menu in 10-14 days. However, if you always have constipation that can't be dealt with by vegetables, you can introduce fruit puree in the first half of the year if it's not the first supplemental food.
First lure is apple for potatoes, then pear, apricot, plum, peach. Objective fruit puree has the same advantages, such as chemical and microbial safety, as well as uniform integrity without fibers and fragments, compared to other types of puree.
How to apply?
- The same rules apply. First, give your child one kind of fruit (blank) potato per 1/4 cup of a spoon. If you do not have an anomaly, increase the amount of a teaspoon per day as a guide.
- In 7-10 days it will be 60 g.
- Fruit puree can be given as an independent snack at the end of the main meal or added to porridge, and as a result the appetite is increased.
Baby biscuits included in 6 months of baby food
After six months, you can give baby biscuits as a snack. It is within 3G per day (1-2 depending on size). This is a complementary food for cereals, like porridge, but this is the first taste for children. At first, you can breed baby biscuits with breast milk or milk.
Cookies should be given as a whole, as a whole, with care so as not to clog your children in the throat.
Be careful with the configuration when choosing cookies for children. Many manufacturers add sugar, palm oil, and artificial additives.
When he is six months old, his mother advises him to include "adult food". Currently, the doctor says that children's digestive organs are ready to handle other foods derived from breast milk. It seems that they are often advised to start by feeding herbs. Vegetables provide carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins that have a positive effect on the body of bread crumbs. Dietary fiber helps intestinal function, and pectin removes harmful substances.
Vegetables for baby's first food
A very important question that your baby's mother asks first is "start the vegetable supplement". Proper selection so that potatoes are not contaminated is the key to a smooth transition to solid foods. The most important thing is to put only one extra vegetable food in the early stages.
May be.
Of course, it is important to gradually increase the vegetable intake with priority on vegetable puree ingredients for side meals. Experts recommend eating colored things like cabbage and zucchini first. These baby vegetables are the safest in terms of the risk of an allergic reaction.
Once these vegetables have tasted good, it's a good idea to offer broccoli, pumpkin, carrots, etc. to the kids. Remember that the basic principles of the introduction of vegetable feed are slim and sick.
How to introduce vegetable puree into complementary foods.
After choosing a vegetable puree, the mother is faced with the following challenges. It is to understand how to start the process in order to save groceries more safely and efficiently. First, it is necessary to consider the baby food algorithm from a long-term perspective. Experts help you introduce your monthly vegetables. Here we present a rough selection.
From 6 months - zucchini, cauliflower.
For example, give your child a zucchini-only Gerber® potato vegetable with mashed potatoes. Zucchini has a pale taste and low allergy, so it is recommended as a vegetable to be chosen for the first time in a children's menu.
From 7 months - pumpkin, broccoli, potatoes, carrots.
For example, birds with Garba® 'broccoli only' will be used for a small gourmet menu with a mild taste and low allergies and will expand meal options.
From 8 months … green piece
From 9 months-conquest
From the first year … eggplant, cucumber, tomato, pepper.
After planning a new product introduction plan, it is necessary to plan the first meal, vegetable puree.
| Day | Introducing part of the new product on the gram | One new product with teaspoon | Breast milk |
| 1st | 3 grams | Half teaspoon | + |
| Second | 5-10 grams | 1-2 teaspoon | + |
| Third | 15 grams | 3 teaspoons | + |
| 4th | 20-25 grams | 4 to 5 teaspoons | + |
| Fifth | 50 grams | 10 teaspoon | + |

| Sevens | 120-150 grams | 30 teaspoon cups | + |
| 8th | 3 grams a - one more contained baby vegetable puree, and then feed the previous time. | Half teaspoon | + |
| Ninth | 5-10 grams, and another, vegetable puree, and then the previous additional food. | 1-2 teaspoon | + |
The figures listed are approximate. Be sure to see the reaction of the child and consult a specialist if you have an illness. Remember to calculate the amount of vegetable puree at one meal individually depending on your child's appetite and health. Baby vegetable birds should not cancel breast milk, and any consumption of vegetable puree should be completed by supplying breast milk.
How to prepare vegetable puree for the first feeding
Many parents want to buy goods in the store. It seems convenient and safe. In fact, the abdominal manufacturer strictly manages activities such as hygiene and the use of natural ingredients. However, some mothers want to make their own vegetable potatoes for their children. Here are some easy and delicious recipes.
There are two cooking methods, boiled and steamed. Rinse the vegetables gently and cook (for 10 minutes) to soften the mashed potatoes with a mixer. Ready o-purée e-potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator, but should be within one day. Similarly, you can make a pumpkin and carrot supplement.
This is a dish that is compatible with many types of energy and vitamins. Boil both products until the fire is cooked and stir. It is important to follow the rules of broccoli more than potatoes.
If you want to make baby vegetables at home, follow these simple steps. Rinse the ingredients well, crush well so that there are no large fragments, and do not add salt or spices.
Recommendations for the introduction of vegetable complementary foods
Remember that complementary meals should start with a puree of one material. Over time, you may want to switch to multicomponent.
Start with half a teaspoon and increase by one cup each day.
If you refuse to breastfeed for any reason, this is not the time. Wait a week and try again.
The lowest allergic vegetables are cauliflower and zucchini. It's a good idea to start when determining the child's reaction.
Carefully choose the product for the first vegetable puree. It is necessary to wash, cook and crush well.
Read the ingredients carefully when choosing an additional bottle in the store. Do not be harmful to children substances. For example, Garber® vegetables do not use salt, sugar, spices or genetically modified crops.

This is a question that worries every mother. Think about "at what age should you expand your diet and what to feed?" As your baby grows, he or she will miss out on the nutrients and energy he or she gets from breast milk. This usually happens at 6 months. Until this age, the gastrointestinal tract is not adapted to the digestion of food other than breast milk. Responsible participation in this process will form the correct eating behavior in children.
According to WHO statistics, complementary foods start at 6 months of age. Pediatricians do not recommend increasing food intake for children under 4 months old. Premature introduction of complementary foods can cause gastrointestinal disturbances. By 4 months, the baby's push reflex weakens. Already at this time, the baby can swallow foods that are thicker than breast milk. With the introduction of complementary foods, it is better not to delay.
Untimely introduction to food (more than 6 months) can lead to micronutrient deficiencies. Another reason is that it becomes more difficult to learn how to chew. The pediatrician who saw your baby may recommend the introduction of complementary foods.
What should the menu of children under one year of age consist of
The main role of complementary foods is to introduce the baby to the main food groups. Bringing attention to nutrition, planning a breastfeeding schedule, and developing good eating habits are the goals of all mothers. Adding a new product to the menu is not a reason to stop breastfeeding. Breast milk is the basis of a child's diet up to a year during the period of adaptation to various types of complementary foods. The state program for optimizing the feeding of children in the first year of life of the Russian Federation recommends starting complementary foods with vegetables and cereals. Let's take a closer look at all the components of the children's menu.
vegetables
Vegetable purees contain vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. These products are ideal for overweight or constipated children. It's best to start with individual purees such as zucchini, cauliflower, and broccoli. This makes it easier to observe a child's reaction to a new product. Vegetable oil can be added to vegetable puree. Suitable for olives, corn, sunflowers, etc.
After eating two or three vegetables, you can expand your diet and add carrots and potatoes to your usual mashed potatoes. You can be sure that mashed potatoes in commercial jars are safe for children. Manufacturers control all stages and produce products that meet the requirements of the law.
If you are having trouble gaining weight or have loose stools, you can start adding grain products. Pediatricians recommend expanding the diet with gluten-free cereals. The first cereals are rice, buckwheat and corn.
The next step is gluten-containing cereals: semolina, wheat, oatmeal.
The first feed requires a homogeneous porridge of liquid synergy. Adding salt or sugar is not recommended, but make sure your child gets used to the natural taste of the product. A porridge made from industrial production, designed so that children can eat for one year, can make life much easier. It can be immediately diluted with water, mixed with breast milk. In addition, the manufacturer has added vitamins and minerals, taking into account the needs of children, age and existing deficiency.
This is 6 months ago? It's time to introduce mashed meats to your child. You can cook it yourself, but if you can't accurately calculate the weight and Kbzhu (calories, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates), you should choose industrial production. Meat amino acids, zinc, digestible vitamin B group, source of iron supply.
The manufacturer uses high quality raw materials and controls the content of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The production uses homogenizer technology, which knocks out and mixes the products well.
The homogenized structure (most foods for most foods) reduces the burden on the baby's gastrointestinal tract and allows you to explore as many beneficial macros and trace elements as possible.
Up to one year old, beef, seven-sided poultry, beef, chicken and lamb are still on the children's menu. You can put meatballs for older kids. In a year, 80-100g of meat puree is 80-100g.
fruit
After tasting vegetables, cereals, meat, etc., you can add fruits to supplement food. The first amount is half a teaspoon. Fruit puree contains natural sugar, organic acid and potassium. Pediatricians recommend starting with apple and pear puree. It is said to be the lowest allergy. After a pear and an apple, a child can add Applicotto, Peach, Plum Puree to the menu. It activates intestinal function. Children's meals can be added to other fruits and berries: sour cherries, sour cherries, raspberries and gosberries.
The order is no longer important here. The point is to introduce each fruit for a week, looking at the reaction of the child, so that you do not mix your taste.
Cottage cheese, yoghurt, organic yoghurt
You can add your child to your child's menu for 8 months. Dairy products contain calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone formation. If your child hates sour tofu or yogurt, don't rush to add sugar. Wait a week and apply again. In some cases, children have to choose about 10-12 times for children.
Orl Skran
Who and Russian experts recommend adding saffron to your baby's menu up to seven months. For children, chicken and quail eggs are used. Protein is contraindicated within one year. Egg yolks are proteins and lipones such as polymeric fatty acids, lecithin and choline. Including pantothenic acid, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B1, B2, B12, C, D, E, A, A, these nutrients are essential for baby's harmony and development. The first amount of saffron can be 1/4 and a half days later.
Fish puree It is recommended to introduce additional food from 8-9 months after birth. Fish is a new and valuable food for breadcrumbs.
It contains lipids containing digestible proteins and polymeric fatty acids. Fish contains vitamin B2, B12, PP, iron, magnesium and zinc. Marine fish are sources of iodine and fluorine.
Children's menus can be diversified such as fish puree, sketudara, Hek, Pike Perch, salmon and Perengus. You can provide fish 1-2 times a week. Mashed potatoes may contain vegetable ingredients such as potatoes, carrots, beans, and onions.
The advantage of ready-made fish puree.
- We use high quality and safe raw materials.
- Using high quality and high quality raw materials, the safety of the finished product is guaranteed.
- Optimal crushing of canned food is mashed (up to 1.5 mm, suitable for children aged 8 months or more) and coarsely crushed (up to 3 mm grain size, suitable for children aged 9 months or more).
- Guaranteed composition suitable for the age characteristics of the child.
Vegetables and oil
You can enter the diet from 5 months.
Vegetable oil contains vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. Bring 1-2 drops for the first time. Ideal for children like olive, corn, sunflower, etc.
Vegetable oil is added to vegetables and mashed meats. This is a product that helps to absorb fat vitamins. Meat puree, which is produced in the industry, usually contains vegetable oil.
Butter is a source of fatty a-vitamins A, D and choline. Put it in the porridge. Oil is only used for 72.5-82% fat.
Complementary foods for children from 4 to 6 months. Monthly chart
Feeding order is not always correct. All children are different and need an individual approach. The Russian Federation-Summer Children's Food is a national program for food optimization." The data in the table is for supplemental food for babies raised in breast milk or an infant bottle.
Table 1. Complementary feeding schedule assessment0654
* Quantity is shown considering the introduction of additional food from 4-5 months.
If you introduce extra food from 6 months onwards, the amount will be reduced, so please refer to the 4-5 months column.
Complementary feeding schedule advice
It is not recommended to introduce additional food four months ago or after 6 months. Introducing foods too early can cause digestive dysfunction. The second reason is that the pushing reflection has not yet disappeared, so there is a possibility that the puree cannot be swallowed. In order to teach children how to get energy and nutrients from food, you need to start complementary foods early.
- Introducing new foods in the morning or in the morning, providing vegetables and meat already for lunch (it will be easier to observe children's reactions to new foods).
- If your child is sick, unhealthy or tired, do not give new food (give regular food).
- Do not forcefully eat it against the person's will (if you don't like it, don't let him eat, help you use your appetite).
- Don't get distracted by anime and toys (getting the right eating habits is important).
- If the child hates the taste, continue to provide the product.
- Do not add sugar or salt.
Up to 4 months old
Our grandmother often gave juice to two months old baby. Currently, pediatrics strongly recommend waiting four months after birth. At this age, you can only grow with breast milk.
4-6 months
Children of this age have already begun to include new foods. If the first dish is porridge, choose a commercial product that is over 4 months old. Compliant with legal requirements and quality standards, it is completely safe for children. Porridge can be diluted with water, powdered milk or breast milk. When you're young, try one-material mashed vegetables. At that time, it is desirable to be homogeneous and half liquid. This is a good idea when you are losing a lot of water, such as hot summers and sickness. With each warm-up, catching up on breastfeeding is the basis of eating.
6-9 months
Current recommendation
- One item per week to introduce supplemental foods.
- Introducing one supplement per day. One grain per day: start with half a teaspoon, gradually increase the amount and emphasize the plan.
- Child mixes ingredients after tasting, but side effects have not been confirmed.
- Do not enhance the taste with sugar or salt.
- Give your boobs every time you breastfeed.
- Make a food diary.
It is very convenient to record what your child has eaten and how much. Therefore, you can analyze the menu and easily calculate the "culprit" of the rash and swelling. Please feel free to consult your pediatrician regarding additional meals.
At this age, you can touch most foods, such as vegetables, cereals, yogurt, cottage cheese, meat and fruits. Up to 8 months, only homogeneous products are appropriate. After that, you can provide small and soft ones to teach your child to chew. It is important to continue breastfeeding while you are accustomed to adult nutrition.
10-12 months
Your baby is now consuming more energy than ever before.
He becomes active and moves well. The children's menu already contains the main products, but feel free to increase it. The faster kids test different flavors and textures, the faster and easier it will be on the dinner table. Children are good at chewing gums, so don't be afraid to chew them gently. This is the principle that you don't fill your mouth. After a bite, give another bite. Breast milk and milk are still important for the proper nutrition and health of the baby. It is necessary to analyze the diet and balance.
After a year
The main task of a mother is to create a menu to replenish the energy and nutrients necessary for the growth and development of children. It is important to adapt too much, not to give too much. Here are some ground rules.
For one year after birth, breast milk and artificial milk are the main nutrients. Complementary foods not only supplement the nutrients needed by children, but also introduce new “adult foods”.
However, inexperienced new mothers, who are especially inexperienced, often worry about which product should be given in which order, so that this introduction is done without delay.
Let's think together. Usually the first additional food is vegetable puree and serials. Where to start depends on the health of the child, the maturity of the nervous system, and the function of the child's digestive system. The exact time and plan for the introduction of additional food cannot be determined unless you are a pediatrician. Guided by the individual characteristics and needs of the child.
Vegetable puree
Vegetables are a source of organic acids, minerals such as iron and potassium, as well as dietary fiber and vitamins.
Certain vegetables (carrots, pumpkin, spinach, etc.) are rich in carotene, a precursor to vitamin A.
Vegetable purees are ideal for your baby's first breastfeeding. Start with mashed potatoes rich in fibrous vegetables (zucchini, collards, pumpkin, broccoli), and later introduce other vegetables (cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc.) into your child's diet.
And as early as 6-8 weeks after your baby "gets to know" his first vegetables, you can give him a mixed vegetable supplement.
Feeding the baby with porridge
Due to its high energy value, porridge is introduced as the first meal for children with slow weight gain and as the second meal after vegetables in other cases. Porridge is the main source of carbohydrates, vegetable protein, dietary fiber, trace elements and B vitamins.
It is desirable that the baby's first cereals be monosaccharide, silent, gluten-free (rice, buckwheat, later corn). Feeding porridge may contain breast milk, formula, or water. In the future, gluten-containing cereals (oatmeal, wheat, semolina) and mixed cereals will be included in the diet of children.
What fruits to start complementary foods with
If the introduction of vegetable puree containing vegetable oil does not give the desired effect due to constipation or in children whose appetite has decreased due to diet, fruit puree is introduced in the first half of life and add it to cereals to improve the taste. do. At the same time, fruit puree should not be the first product in the diet.
It is best to appoint in the second half of the child after the introduction of potatoes with meat.
Due to the low nutritional value of juice, it is recommended to give it after the introduction of all basic complementary foods. Drinking juice, especially between meals, also increases the risk of tooth decay. Drinking a lot of juice (above the recommended limit) can be a risk factor for becoming overweight in the future.
How to introduce meat into complementary foods
Meat is the main source of protein for the child's body. Beef, pork, pork, rabbit, poultry, poultry, and turkey contain 20-21% protein. Meat also contains iron, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins.
Add meat purees to your child's diet within six months after vegetables and cereals. The composition of meat puree for baby food is divided as follows. Combined with "clean meat".
"Pure meat" potatoes contain more than 40% meat. Beef, pork, lamb, beef, hippopotamus, lamb, turkey, chicken, etc.
Composite products are mainly based on vegetables (zucchini, potatoes, pumpkin, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.) and cereals (rice, oatmeal , buckwheat, semolina, etc.).
Their meat content is low, 18-40% in fish mash and 5-18% in vegetables.
Meat is fed after 6 months in the form of a single-chamber puree from low-flowered varieties without the addition of salt and spices. At 8-9 months, you can already give meat in the form of soufflé or meatballs. By the time your child is old enough, your child should be eating 60-70 grams of meat each day.
