Making the right food for babies

Speaking of baby food, the important thing to consider is whether the food is already suitable for babies or not, and which one is best. According to World Health Organization (WHO), expressed breast milk is sufficient as the sole food for normal growth of infants until the age of six months. This method can protect infants from the risk of digestive tract infection.

Now, after six months, breastfeeding alone is only about 60-70% to meet the needs of infants. At this age, babies begin to need supplementary food feeding, commonly called MPASI. Please note, the age of six to seven months are critical time to introduce solid foods that require chewing skills.

Do not let this period has elapsed, just like that, because it was feared the baby would have difficulty to swallow food, and even worse refused to eat when given solid food. While in infants aged 9-12 months, his chewing skills already more mature.

4. At first, the baby would receive 1-2 teaspoons of baby food. If he has been getting bigger, you can give your meal more.

5. Breast-feeding sequence companion is usually fruit, starchy, and vegetables. Meat, fish and eggs should be given after the baby is six months old. When babies show symptoms of allergy, the egg should be given after the age of one year.

6. Eating time schedule shall be in accordance with the state of hunger or hunger-related stomach condition.
