Enter into the diet of the child solid foods WHO recommends that approximately six months. It is in this age of the gastrointestinal tract matures enough to digest the new products.
pediatricians advice on feeding are very similar in many countries. But national characteristics and the age-old tradition of making adjustments to the question: how to begin solid foods in different countries?
France and the Netherlands
In this country are beginning to lure with vegetables, steamed. Kids give spinach, zucchini, artichokes, carrots, pumpkin, broccoli and potatoes. A little later, in the course are very ripe bananas, pears, apples and peaches.
America, Australia and the UK
Starting from 4-6 months, children are fed liquid rice gruel. Teaspoon of powdered rice porridge diluted in 4-5 tablespoons of breast milk. In 6-8 months in the menu are added vegetable and fruit puree.
Germany
In Germany, the lure begin with parsnip puree or Morkovand. In this case, the child is given only one kind of vegetable. At the age of 7 months, babies begin to eat baked fruit.
Austria
Here is a very responsible attitude to the lure. Austrian pediatricians believe that it should not be administered earlier than the 5th and later the 7th month. Lure start with vegetable puree with the addition of rapeseed oil. Then children are given foods with gluten (grain cereals, ground pasta from durum wheat). This is done in order to prevent the development of celiac disease. Later comes the time for the fruit puree, frayed meat and fish.
Japan
The very first meal in my life called "okayu" Japanese children. This rice boiled gruel on the water.
Japanese choose rice for feeding, because it is one of the most hypoallergenic products. Initially (approximately 5 months) give a teaspoon a day and gradually increase the dose. In 7-8 months, the Japanese children are eating chicken and fish.
