Mr. Li, my baby eats egg yolk for the first time, and some people suggest eating rice noodles. Is it better to eat what for the first bite of supplementary food?
As a nutritionist who specializes in dealing with infants, I always receive such questions.
Although this mother’s question is very common, in fact there is a lot of misunderstanding.
The first supplementary food suitable for babies is not egg yolk, but mushy food rich in iron, such as iron-fortified baby rice flour and red meat paste.
Today, I will talk to you about how to choose and eat the three ingredients of high-speed rice noodles, red meat and eggs.
Ingredient 1
High-iron rice flour
When my brother was 6 months old, I began to add supplementary foods to him. The first food I ate was high-speed rice noodles.
This kind of rice flour is convenient to make and rich in iron. It is the first choice to add supplementary foods at the beginning.
Some rice flour is divided into one section and two sections, mainly because the ingredients inside are different. Generally speaking, one section is pure rice flour and more than two sections are mixed rice flour.
For babies who are prone to allergy, it is recommended to choose pure rice flour.
There is no special regulation on the intake of rice flour, which is mainly determined by the baby’s appetite.
It can be mixed with breast milk, formula milk or water into a slightly thin mud paste, which can be scooped up with a spoon and will not drip quickly (too thin or too thick is not good).
If your baby is allergic to rice flour, you can choose some potatoes instead of cereals.
At this time, in addition to red meat, iron can be taken to ensure the baby’s iron intake.
Ingredients 2
Red meat
For babies who have just added supplementary foods, any red meat rich in heme iron can be added as the first choice of meat, such as pork, beef and mutton.
Don’t worry too much about which kind of meat to choose, just pay attention to the lean meat.
Remember the two key parts of the selection: tenderloin and leg meat.
In addition to choosing the right parts, it is also important to ensure the freshness and safety of food materials.
At the beginning of the baby’s supplementary food from June to August, the meat can be made into meat mud with more water content. 20 ~ 30g per day, when the baby adapts to the meat mud, then slowly transits to the meat mud containing a small amount of minced meat.
While eating red meat, chicken, duck, fish, shrimp and other non-red meat sources can also be eaten. Only by enriching the types of supplementary foods as much as possible can the baby’s nutrition be balanced.
Ingredients 3
Eggs
During my years as a nutritionist, I met too many mothers who took egg yolk as their first supplementary food.
Although the content of iron in egg yolk is not low, the yolk high phosphoprotein in egg yolk will affect the absorption of iron. Even if the baby eats egg yolk, it is difficult to absorb the iron in it.
On the premise that priority can ensure the baby’s iron intake, try to give him egg yolk again. If the egg yolk is not uncomfortable after eating, you can start eating white protein.
As for how much to eat, under normal circumstances, as long as the baby is not allergic to egg yolk protein, one is just right.
If the baby is allergic to eggs, you can give the baby more red meat, poultry meat, soybean and bean products, milk and dairy products, aquatic products, etc.
