After the baby is one year old, is eating or breastfeeding the main thing?

As we all know, it's not easy to take care of your baby, it's a lot of work and effort, and sometimes you can't always take good care of your baby, especially when your baby enters the complementary feeding stage, it's easy to have some problems, such as overfeeding, not being able to keep up with a nutrition, etc. It's not good to eat too much, it's not good to eat too little, only when it's just right, your baby won't be hurt.

When it comes to adding complementary foods to babies, some parents may be very torn about one thing, after the baby is one year old, whether it is mainly eating or eating milk. Some people think that as long as the baby loves to eat milk, it is better to eat mainly milk, milk is more nutritious than complementary food; others think that it is good to give the baby more complementary food, milk should eat less or not, this can be done to adult meals over.

I have such parents around me, when the baby grows to one-year-old, directly to the milk quit, only feed supplemental food every day, thought when the meal is good but did not expect that because of this baby development is a little delayed, and the same age than a lot of babies behind.

So don't wean your baby immediately after he or she reaches one year old! Although a year old babies' chewing ability has become better, after all, the amount of food is limited, and then the baby is not very good to eat supplemental food, only eat supplemental food, there will be nutrition can not keep up, development is affected, remember that supplemental food to eat, milk can not be broken, even if the breast milk is broken, but also to insist on feeding milk powder, supplemental food and milk combination, in order not to delay the growth of the baby.

Knowing that both milk and complementary food should be eaten, then which is the main good? The correct practice is to know in advance.

Generally speaking, when babies are added to complementary foods, parents should follow the laws of growth of the baby, slowly changing the texture and shape of complementary foods, to exercise the baby's ability to chew food, if parents do this strictly at the beginning, then the baby grows to one year old can eat more, the amount of milk can be slowly reduced, do not stop directly on the good.

The supplemental food should be slowly diversified, no matter how it is cooked, and the type of ingredients should be changed more, so that the baby can take in a variety of nutrients at each meal, to help growth.

And do not think that the baby's chewing ability is good, so directly giving him to eat adult meals, this approach is not right. Because adult meals are much harder than complementary foods, the taste is also heavier, but also may be very greasy, not at all suitable for babies to eat, too early to eat adult meals, the baby's body is not good, easy to appear indigestion, picky eating, and other problems.

So parents don't be lazy, after the baby is one year old, but also continue to insist on making meals suitable for babies to eat, it is best to insist until the baby is three years old.

The above situation is normal, if, by the time the baby eats complementary food, parents have been feeding rice paste, or eat more milk to eat less complimentary food so that the baby's chewing ability is poor, or eat milk first, timely change the way complementary food, good exercise baby's chewing ability, to be this ability to improve, the amount of milk and then gradually reduce, to ensure adequate nutrition, not afraid to affect the development.

However, for the sake of your baby, the earlier you exercise chewing ability, the better, if your baby is still small, adjust the complementary food in time, do not wait until your baby is one year old to find out that the previous one did wrong.

In addition, after the baby is one year old, to train his ability to eat independently, do not always take the initiative to feed, this ability to improve, the baby can eat better and better. If you always feed, it will make the baby lose interest in eating, will also develop the habit of eating while playing, and also affect the health of the spleen and stomach, a lot worse, so after the baby is one year old, parents should give the baby more time to learn to eat on their own, to be patient, do not yell, more exercise you will find that one day the baby will eat on their own, it becomes a good baby in the eyes of others.
