The child on breastfeeding - how to enter a feeding up
At the age of six months the babies who are on breastfeeding can already enter a feeding up. It is better to begin with vegetable single-component purees. Generally they are made of hypoallergenic vegetables - squash, broccoli, a cauliflower, etc. Fruit are recommended to be entered into the second turn as they contain many acids, and can irritate a stomach of the kid. The approximate menu of the child of six months in the first week of a feeding up looks so:
- a breakfast - mother's milk; - the second breakfast - 1 teaspoon of vegetable puree, a supplementary feeding milk;
- a lunch - 2 teaspoons of puree, a supplementary feeding milk; - an afternoon snack, a dinner, night feeding - milk.
If you doubt when it is worth beginning a feeding up and what product to give the first - consult to the pediatrician. Only he can tell that it is necessary for your child.
The feeding up is recommended to be entered in the first half of day to look at reaction of an organism of the child to that or other food. In one or one and a half weeks after the successful use of single-component vegetable food it is possible to begin to taste the mixed and fruit purees. Violently you should not feed the child if the kid spits, does not want to swallow - replace puree or postpone introduction of a feeding up for a week. Closer by seven months it is possible to replace one main feeding with vegetable or fruit puree, to eight - to enter chicken and beef puree, the millet and buckwheat processed porridges into a diet and to replace with them one feeding by a breast, and to nine - to leave mother's milk only before going to bed and at night. All changes in the kids menu are very individual, it is necessary to watch behavior of the child and reaction of his organism before finishing feeding a new type of food.
