What is tasty to feed your baby? This issue begins to kids of moms who have "knocked" for 3-4 months. Usually spodvigaet mothers on complementary feeding are thinking about my grandmother, who at one time gave their children "adult" food already in 2-3 months of age. At the time when almost all the kids were bottle-feeding in this approach was justified: the body crumbs needed vitamins that are lacking in the mixtures. And what now?
If you are breastfeeding or crumb mixture adapted to finish feeding, should not rush to lure (also called "solid food"). There will come a day when you are able to make sure that your little pipsqueak needs additional food and most importantly - he is ready for it. This will help you determine the 10 signs.
1. Age baby. Infants must be fulfilled 6 months (Baby-bottle-can offer the lure of a month earlier). By the first half of the digestive system is ready to accept - to digest and absorb - the first batch of new other than breast milk - food.
2. Weight toddler to the top of weaning to double as compared with birth weight (if crumb born premature, its weight should be increased by 2.5 times).
3. The child must be extinguished ejection reflex newborn crumbs it protects from entering the mouth of random small things and the danger of choking. Child to take food from a spoon, it does not make the ejecting tongue movements. And to check the presence of this factor, give the baby to drink from a spoon. If no water is spilled on the chin crumbs, then a reflex subsided.
4. The kid knows how to sit and hold your head well. This skill is needed crumbs, at the right moment to turn and show my mother that he had had enough of him, or in the new food that is not pleasant.
5. The child was cut first tooth.
6. Baby is able to clamp the object in the handle and pull it in her mouth.
7.Kid eats not. If the child at a feeding completely sucks the milk from both breasts or eats (malyshu- "bottle-baby" is not enough 1 liter of the mixture during the day or the interval between meals is reduced).
8. Scarce knows how to pull the lower jaw to take food from a spoon, and opens her mouth when the food trays.
9. The child is already showing chewing skills: he can grab tongue lumps of food and propel them deep into the mouth.
10. The child appears "food interest": a table on her knees at his parents, he is closely monitoring that sends mom or dad in his mouth. If a pipsqueak is attempting to steal a piece of you, he is ready to top treats lure.
IMPORTANT!Introducing baby to lure, let the food from a special silicone spoon, not from a pipette. Food should not be very liquid (milk), because it is important that food is processed saliva baby - so it is easier to digest in the stomach remains. The first feeding portion is desirable to add some breast milk or mixtures thereof, if-bottle-crumb.
