Up to 6 months the child without prejudice to health and development can be completely on breastfeeding. However in life there are situations when it is impossible. In such cases the early feeding up is quite appropriate.
Before beginning to enter a feeding up, it is necessary to make sure that the baby it is capable to eat it, otherwise it is possible to develop permanent disgust for "adult" food. There are certain signs not of perception of food. Main – at the child the pushing-out reflex works, it is a peculiar protective reaction from accidental ingestion of foreign objects.
Features of a children's organism
Important factor is readiness of digestive system of the child. Breast milk can be acquired completely by an organism, digestion of "adult" food requires enough enzymes and a good vermicular movement of intestines. It is considered that at bottle-fed babies of a GIT ripens earlier as they since the birth receive "foreign" food. Therefore the feeding up to them is entered one or one and a half months earlier.
The choice of products for an early feeding up has important value. Many parents, sometimes on the advice of pediatricians of the Soviet education, begin a feeding up with juice. Juice even for the adult — junk food, they contain a large number of sugar (fructose), on 100 gr waters about 3 tablespoons, even own preparation. Besides in 5 months the child has no enzymes which would help it to digest fruit juice. As result there can be a diarrhea or allergies.
What to begin with and how to prepare
Early feeding up there begin with vegetable homogeneous (liquid, without lumps) purees. It can both be prepared independently, and to use can. Choosing industrial purees, it is necessary to pay attention to structure and packing. Superfluous in structure, except vegetable and water, should not be. If the cover during opening of a jar does not publish cotton, puree should be thrown out immediately. It is possible to store an open jar no more day therefore if there is no desire to eat up for the child, it is necessary to throw out ruthlessly. Cooking puree independently, it is necessary to remember that about one year the child cannot salt food. He receives the necessary amount of sodium with mother's milk (or mixes). Of course, any adult will not eat fresh food, but the child has no flavoring preferences yet and it is not necessary to impose. The problem of a feeding up is to acquaint with new food, to accustom gradually to a table d'hote. Vegetables for the first feeding up get out of white and green group: broccoli, cauliflower or squash. It is independently quite simple to prepare. The piece of the chosen vegetable is steamed or in water to softness. Then it should be ground or crushed the blender. Before feeding, puree needs to be cooled to body temperature. In rare instances the feeding up is begun with porridge, but at the same time it is necessary to choose nonmilk, they fresh, however it is not an occasion "to improve" taste. Bezglyutenovy porridges are suitable for the first acquaintance: buckwheat, corn, rice. The chosen grain is crushed to a condition of flour and made.
Quantity of a feeding up
The feeding up is begun with 1/2 tsps, gradually increasing a portion, watching a condition of the child carefully. Within 10 days the serving size increases to 80 gr., week the child gets used to the entered product, and then it is offered new. If the kid does not want to eat the offered food, it is not necessary to force, the child has the right itself to choose that to it is. Something else is in that case offered, but not pleasant product can try to be given in a month. It is necessary to acquaint with new food the healthy child in an interval between carrying out inoculations. Negative reaction can appear not only on a product, but also on its quantity therefore it is impossible to try to feed as much as possible even if the kid asks.
