Baby food 6 months: which foods to choose?
Nutrition for a child of 6 months should consist ofmilk and thick lures, do not forget about grated fruits and cereals. At this age, the lure is introduced when the baby is in good physical condition. "Normal" food should be introduced gradually, because a small ventricle slowly adapts to the new conditions of life. At 6 months, the baby's teeth are punched and the phase of increased growth begins, so you need to give your crumb all the beneficial substances that contribute to development. Every day you need to offer a baby a fruit: a banana, grated apple, peaches, apricots. Grind these products in a blender to a liquid state, and then have a little brew, so that food is better perceived. If a child was breastfed for half a year or ate a mixture, one must begin to accustom it to "adult" food a little, starting with half a teaspoon, gradually increasing the amount. It is just necessary to observe the reaction to the baby's nutrition for 6 months to notice or prevent allergic reactions. The organism of the little one is not yet adapted and gentle, therefore it is better to prevent allergies than to treat the neglected psoriasis (a disease in which the skin becomes covered with an unpleasant crust).
Feeding of children in 6 months must also consist of porridge, which, too,avoid excess stiffness, crushed in a blender after cooking. We recommend oats, oatmeal and semolina porridge, which are cooked on a mixture or diluted milk. You can, of course, offer the baby ready-made porridges, which are brewed in hot water, but home food is still preferable, because it is enclosed warmly and love mummy.
Counting the nutrition of children from 6 months, you caninclude in the diet as a vegetable stew with the addition of cereals and meat. When choosing meat products, one should be guided not only by freshness, but also by quality. Children are well aware of chicken, turkey and veal. Avoid fatty meats, because they are complex for the unadapted digestive system of the baby. Vegetables that can be used for cooking ragout-soup: cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, potatoes. You can cook stewed potatoes with veal and carrots - it turns out very tasty and nutritious. The main thing, watch the baby's skin a few hours after feeding. The potato contains starch, which can give an undesirable reaction.
Feeding the baby for 6 months forms a furtherwork of his digestive tract, so food poisoning during this period is very dangerous. If any ingredient you do not like (smell, color, taste) - it is better to throw it away and not risk the health and life of your child.
Nutrition for a child of 6 months should be pleasant andan exciting activity - you can read a fairy tale to a child, sing a song, turn feeding into a game - the main thing is that it should be good, because, otherwise, he can refuse to eat for a long time. Do not forcibly feed a small one - it can lead to hysteria, which is not good for the child's psyche, or vomiting and discomfort. Do not rush a child - he eats at the right pace, feeding should take place in a calm environment without irritating factors. If your child does not like the proposed product - it can be seen through grimaces and intention to spit out food - suggest to the little something else, at least, replacing the dish with breast milk or a mixture.
A very important product in the diet of a child of sixmonths is cottage cheese, which is always prescribed in a dairy kitchen. Not all children love it because of the specific acid, so the best solution is to mix the product with your favorite sweet fruit, for example, with a banana.
At 6 months, teeth are usually actively started to be cut, so you can treat your child with special baby biscuits, which he will gladly suck and gnaw, thereby massaging his gums.
