The following content, called a practical guide to home-cooked recipes, will explain in detail how to use daily ingredients to create a so-called "brain-building feast" for your baby. Every step of it is clear and intuitive, allowing you to easily cook it in your own kitchen.
🥛 The first stage: laying the foundation for basic nutrition (7 months+)
In addition to breast milk, milk, the milk mentioned here includes formula milk, which is almost perfect nutrition for babies.
Even if you are breastfeeding, milk should be added to the baby after the baby is 7 months old.
It has outstanding brain-building effects and is most easily absorbed by the human body.
Drink some milk before going to bed. The tryptophan contained in it can also help your baby sleep peacefully.
It is recommended to ensure a daily milk volume in the range of 400 to 600 ml to provide basic energy for brain development.
Eggs (egg yolks): Starting from 7 months of age, the first task is to add egg yolks.
Put the eggs in a pot of cold water, boil the water for 8 minutes, and remove the egg yolks.
In the early stage, start with 1/4 and mix it into a fine paste with warm water or milk.
Egg yolk is rich in lecithin, which is closely related to brain activity and memory.
After the baby adapts, gradually transition to whole eggs.
🐟 The second stage: Practical operation of brain-building ingredients (8 months+)
【Fresh corn paste】
Ingredients list: 50g fresh corn kernels, 50ml formula milk/warm water.
Practical steps:
Select fresh corn, peel off the corn kernels, and place it in a steamer for steaming, which takes about 15 minutes.
First, place the steamed corn kernels into the food supplement machine; second, add formula milk or warm water into it.
3. Sieve: After beating to a fine state, use a fine mesh sieve to filter out the corn husks to ensure a smooth taste and avoid throat jams.
What needs to be emphasized is that the germ of corn is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and glutamic acid, both of which can promote the metabolism of brain cells, and fresh corn will have a more ideal effect in this regard.
【Shredded Ping'an Fish Paste Porridge】

2. Cook porridge: Soak the rice for 30 minutes in advance and cook it into thick rice porridge.
3. Mixing: Stir the crushed fish paste into the rice porridge and cook for another 2 minutes.
Warning to avoid: fish is rich in high-quality protein and unsaturated fatty acids, the former of which can protect cerebral blood vessels, and the latter of which can promote the activity of brain cells.
Be sure to choose fish with fewer spines.
🥬 The third stage: diverse nutritional expansion (10 months old+)
【Calcium Supplementary Shrimp Skin Powder】
Ingredients list: 100g of unsalted dried shrimps.
Step by step process:
First, perform the soaking operation: soak the shrimp skin in clean water, set the soaking time to 30 minutes, and change the water 2 to 3 times during the process to remove salt and impurities.
Step 2: Stir-fry the dried shrimps: first, drain the water, and then place it in an oil-free pan specially used for stir-frying. Then, stir-fry slowly over low heat until the shrimp skin is completely dry. At this time, the color of the shrimp skin will turn slightly yellow. At this time, when you pinch it with your hands, it will break into pieces.
3. Grinding: After cooling, put it into a grinder and grind it into powder, sieve it and seal it for storage.

First, take out the cooked pork liver, then take out the spinach leaves and put them together into the food supplement machine. Then, add a small amount of warm water, and then use the food supplement machine to make them into a paste.
Strong nutritional adaptation is as follows: spinach is the "best supplier" for brain cell metabolism and is rich in a variety of vitamins. When it is paired with pig liver, which is rich in iron, it can form a nutritionally complementary situation.

⚠️ Tips for newbies to avoid pitfalls and taboos
When preparing complementary foods for babies under one year old, there is a technique to adjust the taste, that is, not to add condiments such as salt and sugar, but to use the natural taste of the ingredients themselves, such as the sweetness of corn and the freshness of fish, to stimulate the baby's appetite.
Key pitfall avoidance guide:
1. Risk of lead poisoning: Medical research shows that lead can kill brain cells.
Popcorn, preserved eggs, and beer contain a lot of lead and must not be given to children.
2. The condition called aluminum damage to the brain means that if children are often fed foods with a relatively high aluminum content, it will lead to a decline in memory.
Alum is added during the production process of fried dough sticks and fried cakes, so it is best not to let children eat them .
3. Lipid peroxide: Foods such as bacon and smoked fish that have been fried or exposed to the sun contain lipid peroxide, which may lead to earlier brain aging or dementia, and should be given to children less frequently .
4. Dangers of MSG: For each person, the amount of MSG taken in per day should not exceed 6 grams. If the intake is too much, it can cause short-term headaches and short-term nausea.
MSG is strictly prohibited in baby food supplements .
