Signs of 6-month baby food, what is and isn't allowed

Although ready to eat solid food, of course 6-month baby food is different from food for adults. It is recommended to process complementary foods for breastmilk themselves, so that they can be adapted to the nutrients the baby needs. At the age of 6 months, the baby can support his own head and become interested in food consumed by people nearby. This is the recommended time to provide complementary food.

Various 6-Month Baby Food Choices

Now there are a variety of 6-month instant baby food products that are easily found in supermarkets. However, the processing process is too long to make instant baby food does not contain a lot of nutrients and vitamins. This is the reason why it is advisable to process your own baby food for 6 months, so that the baby can get adequate nutrition and vitamins. Initially, a 6-month-old baby is only able to consume about one teaspoon of vegetables or fruit in one meal. Then, the portion will increase gradually over time. Besides fruits and vegetables, 6-month baby food can also be made from a variety of other healthy foods. Some 6 month baby food choices, including:

• Cereals, it is recommended to choose gluten free.
• Blended fruits and vegetables, such as avocados, bananas, pears, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, apples, strawberries, carrots, grapes, tomatoes and cucumbers.
• Mashed meat, such as chicken or beef.
• Tofu made into porridge.
• Mashed beans, such as edamame, kidney beans and green beans.

Well, as a first step in providing baby food for 6 months, you can use one type of material to make porridge. Here are some types of porridge that you can try:

• Banana porridge

Banana is a fruit that is rich in fiber and potassium which is safe for the baby's stomach. However, do not give bananas too often because of the risk of causing constipation. The way to make it is to mash the banana with a fork, then add breast milk or formula to thin it.

• Avocado porridge

Avocados contain good fats which are beneficial for the physical and brain development of babies. Mash avocado with a fork, then add milk or formula. The remaining avocado that has not been used can be put into a container and stored in the refrigerator.

• Brown rice porridge

As a staple food that does not cause allergies, brown rice is the right choice for baby food for 6 months, because it is also easy to digest. In addition, brown rice porridge is also good for babies, because brown rice contains a variety of nutrients, ranging from vitamin B, folate, calcium, sodium, zinc, to potassium.

Beware of Food Allergies in Babies

When Little is just trying solid foods, you need to look at whether he is allergic to certain foods or not. Wait up to three days before switching to introduce other types of food. Generally it takes three days to see an allergic reaction, especially if there are family members who have a history of allergies. Eggs, soy, fish, cow's milk, shellfish, and wheat are some examples of food allergens. Some foods should also be watched out because they can produce gas in the stomach and make babies uncomfortable. Gas-containing foods include peas, pears, apricots, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. Avoid giving honey to babies one year and under to reduce the risk of botulism. Giving cow's milk should also be avoided. New babies can be given cow's milk after the age of one year or more. Even so, the provision of products made from cow's milk, such as cheese, is generally safe to give to babies. Introducing a variety of foods and flavors can make babies love a variety of foods and get many nutritional benefits. If there is a type of food that your child does not like, try to give it again after a few days, because the baby's tastes are still changing. To ensure your child gets the required nutrition, you can consult with your pediatrician or nutritionist.
