Guide for Baby Feeding

Baby care is a an important task for parents and feeding our babies is a part of this. Before your infant turns 1 year old, there are different stages where parents need to adjust the way they feed their babies. This means the quantity as well as the type of food that they give to their babies need some adjustment.

Initially, from birth up to 4 months, the baby’s intestines have not developed completely so the only food that baby can digest at this stage is breastmilk. But if the mother is having some difficulting breastfeeding the little one then use some other alternative such as Formula.

The second stage of baby feeding is when the baby becomes four months old, at this point, you can start giving your baby some rice or grain cereal other than the milk. Do this until he or she turns 6 months old. In the event that the baby does not like the cereal, try to reintroduce this food after a month and then see what happens.

From six to eight months, your baby is ready to take in more solids foods. Aside from breastfeeding or formula milk, give your little one some mashed potatoes, soft cheese, yogurt, ripe banana and apple or pear juice in small quantities. When introducing food to your baby do this slowly, one at a time with increments of three days just to be certain that your little one will not have any allergic reactions to the foods that you are giving him or her.

By ten to twelve months, your infant probably has more teeth and can swallow food faster and easier. You can now give him or her all the foods mentioned above but this time you can slightly increase the quantity or the amount of the foods. Just remember when feeding your baby new foods, do this slowly and at least three to four days in between.
