All children develop differently, and it concerns not only assimilation of the main skills, but also catering services. Some kids by nine months only begin to wean from a breast and to try new products, besides mother's milk. Others already in half a year eat vegetables, fruit, chicken with pleasure. Therefore to begin introduction of a feeding up and it is necessary to determine its volume leaning not only on councils of pediatricians, but also on behavior of the kid.
Feeding up volume in nine months - that is recommended by pediatricians
By nine months the child is considered already rather grown up to try new types of food. If in half a year generally hypoallergenic vegetable and fruit purees are recommended, then now it is possible to enter gradually fish, mushrooms, different types of meat, cottage cheese, soups, etc. The feeding up has to be raznobrazny, nourishing, but not fat. Also you should not give to children sausage, artificial yogurts, canned food, etc. These products, maybe, will also not bring harm, and here advantage of them precisely any.
By nine months mom can leave two-three feedings a breast. In case the kid eats mix, it is necessary to reduce its volume to two small bottles - in the morning and before going to bed. Pediatricians recommend to transfer the children eating artificial substitutes of milk to full-fledged food earlier, than those who are on breastfeeding.
The approximate volume of food in nine months following: - a breakfast - breast milk or mix of about 200 ml. It is difficult to tell more precisely, and each mom has to watch the kid to understand whether it is enough to him food, or it is worth finishing feeding; - the second breakfast - a jar of fruit or vegetable puree, is a little cottage cheese, natural yogurt; - a lunch - soup (puree or usual, depending on that, the kid is able to chew independently food or not). Volume - about 150 ml. On the second - potato of puree or stewed vegetables with a piece of fish or chicken. About 150 gr generally; - an afternoon snack - children's soft cookies with milk, fruit puree, cottage cheese; - a dinner - vegetables with the fish or chicken steamed - about 200 gr; - before going to bed - mix or feeding by a breast. These are the general recommendations which suit not all children. Some eat much less, others it is more. Only mom can find out individual correct volumes, watching behavior of the kid.
How to find out the volume of a necessary feeding up
Inexperienced mothers cannot often understand, the kid gorged on or not. The child ceases to suck a breast or there is a puree, and parents think that he was sated. And actually he could just be tired. To check whether the kid is hungry, in five-ten minutes after the termination of a lunch it is possible to suggest it to eat up what remained in a plate. If turns away - means, definitely does not want. If was accepted to food - most likely, it was hungry, simply tired to chew food, still difficult for almost naked gums, or the small break in consumption of mother's milk was required for it. Only by practical consideration it is possible to establish how many it is actually necessary food for the kid. And it is for this purpose important to monitor its reactions and to pay attention to various nuances of behavior.
