Really, who hasn’t checked out the “Six-month Baby Complementary Food Chart” in the middle of the night?
I had collected more than a dozen posts, but when I woke up the next day and looked at the kitchen, I saw that it was still in the same state where I had lost my memory.
I know that feeling all too well. I am holding a carrot in my hand and feeling very panicked. I am afraid that eating too little will be detrimental to my growth, and I am also worried that eating too much will cause indigestion. Especially when the whole family is looking at you and asking "What are you going to feed your kids today?" and you don't even have time to drink water.
In fact, we think it’s complicated
If you treat complementary feeding as a big deal, you will lose.
Why the Michelin-starred presentation, and the extremely exquisite recipes that will not be repeated for three days? These are all short videos used to deceive traffic. When you are actually raising a baby, how can you have so much time? Being able to squint your eyes and rest for five minutes while the baby is sleeping is considered a bonus.
The end of science is actually "lazy".
## 6 months old, what should I eat?
The first bite must be the high-speed iron rice noodles. Don't believe the saying that "home-ground rice noodles are the most natural", they are really nutritious.
Don’t rush to feed egg yolks, which can easily cause allergies and are difficult to digest. Meat puree is the real king of iron supplements.
It was the first time my child ate pork tenderloin puree. He looked like he was taking poison and frowned, but he still swallowed it.
## When to feed? This is a philosophical question
It’s not about feeding at a fixed point, but watching the signals.
If he drools while staring at the bowl in your hand and jumps forward, he is possessed by a hungry wolf.
If he moves his head, pushes away the spoon, and plays with the food, it means "Mom, I'm full, or I just don't want to eat." Don't chase after the food; once you develop this habit, every meal will become a huge mess.
## 7 days? In fact, just exchange those few things.
Don’t be frightened by “nothing is the same for 7 days”. Just keep the same thing over and over again:
Tenderloin of pig, pumpkin, broccoli, carrots, yams, potatoes, spinach, beef, cod.
These few arrangements and combinations can hold up the sky.
Just like eating pumpkin puree rice noodles today, tomorrow, replace the pumpkin with carrots, or mix pumpkin with yam. Don't say you can't tell the difference, anyway, the baby can't taste anything at the beginning.
## Life-saving tips for working mothers
On weekends, it takes two hours to steam the meat, then fully puree the steamed meat, and then pour the pureed meat into an ice tray to freeze it into so-called "food supplement bricks."
This thing is simply mankind's greatest invention.
Take two pieces before going out every day, put them in a pot to boil after coming back from get off work, then cook some crumbled noodles, or mix in some rice noodles, and it's done. It takes less than ten minutes and it's over.
Don't feel guilty, freezing really doesn't destroy nutrients .
## 90% of people have stepped on these pitfalls
Bone broth does not supplement calcium, but fat . Drinking a bowl of soup is not as good as eating a bite of meat.
You don’t need to blanch the spinach for too long , just blanch it once to remove the oxalic acid.
Also, don’t judge your baby by adults’ taste standards. You think it has no taste without salt, but he eats it with gusto. His small mouth can taste the original sweetness of the food. When he grows up, he will eat takeaways with strong flavors every day. At that time, you will miss the child who only likes cooking with plain water.
## Finally I want to say
The root cause of anxiety about complementary feeding is that we always want to be a "perfect mother."
I feel that I am incompetent if I can’t cook well.
In fact, it's really not the case.
The baby does not need a cook who is exhausted in the kitchen. He just needs a happy mother who is willing to accompany him to eat slowly. I won’t eat it today and will try it again tomorrow. If you don’t like beef this week, try it in a different way next week.
Raising a baby is a long-distance race, so don’t tire yourself out in the first three months.
Hey, let me ask, what is that particularly difficult-to-maintain little guy in your family eating today? Did you eat all the food, or did you get food on your head?
