Feeding for artificial feeding

Everyone knows that the baby with artificial feeding of lure is recommended to enter a half to two months earlier than the baby. But not everyone knows why. It turns out that this is due to the fact that the need for useful substances is higher, since all kinds of milk formulas can not fully supply the body with what is required by age.

So, let's start!

With the artificial feeding of the baby, it is recommended that the beginning of the feeding be timed to the beginning of the fifth month of life. That is, if the child is four months old, he is healthy, cheerful and ready to change the diet - this is the best moment. But if the child suffers from allergies, suddenly fell ill or for some reason became capricious, it is better to wait a week until the situation is normal.

The introduction of the first complementary feeding with artificial feeding is well represented in a special scheme that shows how many grams and what product it is supposed to eat at a certain age. It is impossible to depart from the norm, since excessive overload of the child's organism, even from good intentions, will not lead to good, but most likely, will cause indigestion.

Porridge or vegetables?

When the mother is already ready to introduce the lure of her infant, who is on artificial feeding, one should consult a pediatrician about which product to start with. Most often, this opinion is held - if the baby does not gain weight, then he is first offered kashki (first dairy, and then dairy). And vice versa - chubby children, who are overweight, it is recommended to give vegetable food, in the first place - it's potato, squash, cabbage puree.

And here it is better to leave the fruit puree and juices for later, when the child gets acquainted with vegetables and kashki, since the sweet taste of some of them may discourage the desire to try fresh products, as it is not recommended to add salt to the children of the first year of life and add sugar.

Rules of introducing complementary foods for artificial feeding

To get acquainted with new dishes went smoothly, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of pediatricians:

  1. At the beginning of complementary feeding the baby should be perfectly healthy.
  2. If the product has caused allergies, upset, constipation, then it is removed from the diet for at least 2-3 weeks, and after, upon repeated administration, carefully monitor the reaction.
  3. Feed the baby only from the spoon in the sitting position and reclining, sitting in a chair for feeding or taking it in his arms.
  4. Food should be crushed as much as possible (homogenized).
  5. The next product is recommended to enter not earlier than a week after the first.

You should know that the lure of a premature baby who is on artificial feeding, you can start 1-2 months earlier than the full term. At least, so recommend some pediatricians. The process must be under medical supervision. But there is no less reasoned opinion that new dishes in the diet of a weak baby who lags behind his peers are introduced after six months, when the body is already strong. Anyway, the main adviser in this difficult matter is a competent district doctor.
