The papillas, the first step for your baby to eat solid
The period of Breastfeeding, which is recommended to be given from the birth of the baby until the first six months of life, it becomes a beautiful stage in which mother and son are connected.
However, our children tend to grow super fast before our eyes, and as their age advances, we must also help them change their eating habits.
The porridges are the introduction of babies to the consumption of solid foods. And although it looks like something simple, you have to take into account many things so that everything is perfect.
The specialists recommend that the porridges begin to be supplied from the five months. Also, that they are with the most vegetables and vegetables, so that the child adapts to the variety.
It must be clear that the baby's nutritional needs change as it grows, so that breastfeeding becomes insufficient as time goes by. Learn how to make porridge and feed it in a healthy and nutritious way.
You must understand two things: The transition from breastfeeding to the feeding of solids involves a series of natural reactions of the digestive system. With this we want to tell you that there may be episodes of diarrhea or fever.
The considerations ...
Start the process with fruit-based paps. This is the best way to present solids to your baby because they are usually soft, have good flavor and have bright colors and smells.
Apples, pears and bananas are the most ideal for the first days. Do not prevent the baby from touching the food he is eating, this way you are allowing him to explore and know.
Try not to leave too large pieces in the preparation because you would be facing a possible emergency. And if you add orange to the porridge, make sure it is not too acidic for the baby.
Vegetable-based porridges are the next past. Potatoes, green beans or carrots are the first to arrive at the preparation, which should be boiled and softened as much as possible.
Once two or three weeks have passed, they can incorporate chicken or veal meat in small quantities. With 30 grams of any of the two is enough, and should be very well cooked.
Gradually you can increase the amount. That is to say that each month you can add 10 to 10 grams, until you reach 80 grams. Never force the baby to take more than just a couple of tablespoons, avoid associating eating with something bad.
Basic tips on feeding the baby
While you are drinking milk from the first day you were born, remember that whole cow's milk does not have the same components as breast milk. Milk from this animal should be given only after the first year of life.
If you can prevent the baby from eating gluten before six months, it would be ideal, although it is not a mandatory condition. This component can be found in flours and processed foods, avoid them.
When you prepare the baby pap, do not add salt or sugar. Remember that fruits and vegetables contain nutrients that give it its characteristic flavor. Also avoid adding artificial flavors.
Avoid incorporating a great diversity of new foods too quickly. You must go little by little, and measuring what you like best, what suits you best, and what maybe you do not tolerate too much. You should never stop breastfeeding even if you are eating porridge.
