Adding complementary foods is a stage before babies are weaned. From about 3 to 4 months of birth, simple breastfeeding can no longer meet the nutritional needs of the baby. Parents should gradually shift to the complementary food phase while paying attention to their baby's stool and feeding methods, and should not be forced and aggressive.
Baby added food supplement 5 stages
1, preparation period (3 to 4 months)
After bathing, use a spoon or bottle to feed a little cold boiled or boiled vegetable juice. The freshly squeezed apple juice and orange juice can be diluted with boiled water to supplement the water.
This period is when the baby starts to adapt to the taste outside of breast milk and to adapt to the time of sip and bottle. Parents can try it first to make sure the temperature is right and then feed the baby. Tips and bottles should pay attention to disinfection.

When the baby reaches 7 kg in weight, it is ready to add complementary food. Divide rice soup, boiled vegetables and feed it to him with a spoon. At this time, the baby can't swallow well and food may leak out of his mouth. The baby can be put on a bib to prevent staining.
When feeding with a spoon, hold your baby's chin with your hands and gently lift your face so that the mouth and esophagus become a straight line and the food is easily fed.
Defecation begins 2 to 3 hours after the baby eats. The color of the stool changes with the food, and it is not abnormal. When the baby's body is uncomfortable, soft stools, fermented smells, and short defecation intervals can occur.

10 months to prepare for weaning. Use a cup and a straw to practice drinking.
At the end of the weaning period, the baby began to eat food or drink in his mouth and swallowed little by little.
After the baby put the food into his mouth, the mother told him: "Chew and chews."
When the baby eats food by hand, the mother does not scold, and the most important thing is to protect the baby's interest in eating. You can wipe your baby's hands, table, and floor with a towel.
The baby began to play food, and the mother said to him: "have you eaten?" and then ended the meal.

If you blindly stop it, it is easy to arouse your baby's curiosity and strengthen his performance. If your attitude is tougher, it will also hurt his eating interest.
