In process of growing of the child it is very important to change his diet correctly. Even if you adhere to the concept of long breastfeeding, it is necessary to enter correctly and in time a feeding up.

Breastfeeding and food

Certainly, accession of a feeding up will lead to the fact that the child will use less breast milk. It is desirable to maintain evening and morning feedings by a breast at the age of eight-ten months as maternal milk contains all antibodies necessary to the child which are not, of course, even in the best adapted mixes.

By the time of achievement of eight-months age by the kid, breast milk has to occupy about a third of all children's diet. But it is very important to diversify the menu of the child. For this purpose various vegetable purees which are the best of all for doing of fresh seasonal vegetables which do not undergo special processing will approach to lie as long as possible. It is possible to add a little greens to such purees: parsley, fennel, salad. It is not recommended to use any hot spices and seasonings. When your kid a little grows up, in vegetable purees it will be possible to put onions.

It is the best of all to give fish kneaded or in the form of steam cutlets.

How to accustom the child to food?

To accustom the child to new food, you do not hurry him. It is normal that he will want to eat unfamiliar food not at once. It makes sense to mix all new products to already habitual diet in the small portions. To the old, famous child I observe, add the tenth part new, then increase his contents day by day. Usually children refuse from new food as just did not get used to it, but not because it seems tasteless. So you should not negatively "improve" taste of dishes by means of spices − the organism of the child can react to them. Just show patience. The eight-months child should not give any food in sauces and also pastes, smoked products, spicy marinades. Do not go to far in sweet drinks and dishes, it is better to minimize amount of sugar in a diet.
