baby foods other than breast milk from mother

After the mothers breast feed exclusively for 6 months, then it's time for your child is given some complementary feeding. What are the stages in providing supplementary food?

When babies aged 6 months upwards, then the mother's milk was not able to meet the nutritional needs of infants to 100 percent. Since the age of 6 months, your baby should be introduced with liquid foods other than breast milk to help meet nutritional needs.

Gold standard for baby food in the third sequence is complementary foods breast milk, is a family meal in the sense of avoiding all processed foods factory except when an emergency such as flood or earthquake
Family food in question is the same baby food given to the habits of the family and still fresh, and not a processed food or canned goods factory

Because according to a study published in the Lancet magazine, 2003, note that family meals can reduce the 6 percent of infant mortality.In providing complementary feeding for infants required a certain phase can adapt to the taste of each food, as long as 6 months babies are very familiar with the milk.
At the age of 6 months try to give her milk porridge, the mother can take a few spoons of rice used by the family, and grind until smooth and add water until it becomes mush. If it is not hot and will be given to the baby, then add the milk (no formula or cow's milk) so that the milk porridge. 
"At the age of 6 months, babies can also be a distraction in the form of fruit or vegetable juice. For example, this week has been given only milk porridge, then starting next week try adding a fruit as a distraction. But this depends on the condition of the baby," 
When entering the age of 7 months, mothers can breastfeed breastfed in the morning, followed by milk porridge for breakfast, lunch provided food and fine filter team that night back breastfeeding. For the interlude in the morning and evening can still be given fruit juices and vegetable juices, fruit juice if the morning then afternoon vegetable juice or vice versa. 
"For babies over 7 months of age, the infants receiving 4 times the liquid diet that is mother's milk, porridge of milk and food twice a filter team. At the age of 8 months, the texture filter is slightly larger and gradually enlarged the size of the filter," he said. 
In infants aged 8-9 months, then when the evening was not given breast milk anymore but replaced with a team of food strain. But if the baby wakes in the night, the mother can still give more milk to her baby. Complementary food Breast milk for infants aged 8 months is breast milk, milk porridge, the team strain, strain the milk and the team again at night. 
If the baby is aged over 9 months, then it could be given soft food or filter team with a bigger texture. At this meal should have been added with a little oil or fatty substances such as margarine. When the baby is 1 year old, then it could be given the same meal of rice or with family menu in accordance with the conditions of infants. 
In providing complementary feeding, the mother can add other foods such as chicken liver, fish, carrots and more. But it should be given one at a time so your child can recognize every flavor of food. Do not mix ati chicken and carrots as well, because the baby will be difficult to digest in which a sense of where the flavor of carrots and ati. 
"If you are aged over 2 years, then the liquid diet is not needed anymore in the sense rather than a main meal. If you do not want to eat rice, try to replace with other carbohydrates such as potatoes, corn, pasta, noodles or kuetiaw, 
Therefore, if the child does not want to eat, parents can not replace the nutritional intake by consuming only milk only. Because babies still need the intake of other nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, vegetables and fruits to support the development of his body. 
We recommend that complementary foods are foods that created their own families, so that the guaranteed cleanliness and nutritional content and ingredients needed are also easily available.
