In a 8-month-old baby receiving breast milk, the body’s resistance to diseases is much higher. Indeed, thanks to antibodies from breast milk, immunity to diseases is produced. Therefore, if possible, the diet of a child of 8 months should contain breast milk. During the previous months, the baby received only those products that at that time were necessary for its growing organism. Now he has become much more curious and mobile, his energy costs have increased. Maternal milk no longer satisfies all the needs of the crumbs, so it is recommended to diversify the child’s food at 8 months of water.
Milk in the life of crumbs
It is very good if the baby still receives mother’s milk in 8 months, and even with artificial feeding, it is advisable not to refuse an adapted mixture. To make up for the need for calcium necessary for teeth and bones, the child is given kefir and cottage cheese, the daily consumption of which has slightly increased. If the baby was not given such complementary foods before, do not hesitate with this. After all, breast milk (even if mom uses cottage cheese in large quantities) is no longer able to fill all the needs of the growing organism in calcium.
Fish in the diet of the baby
At the age of 8, the peanis can receive calcium, as well as phosphorus and iodine from fish fillet. Therefore, in addition to meat, the child begins to give fish, introducing complementary foods in small portions. It is also necessary to observe the changes in the health of the child, because the fish can cause allergies. First, the crumb can be offered vegetable puree with ½h. tablespoons of fish puree. For the baby, it is advisable to choose fish with large bones and low -fat varieties. When preparing delicate fish fillet, you need to give preference to a steam or boiled cooking method. With grinding fillet, you need to ensure that small bones do not get into the dish for the child. In the absence of allergies, the baby can be offered to the baby twice a week in the form of mashed potatoes or steam cutlets.
Bread in nutrition of a 8-month-old child
Perhaps the baby had learned the taste of bread even earlier, but if this has not happened yet, at 8 months it was time to do it. At this age, most children already have 4 teeth, which are embarrassed, but they can gnaw. Therefore, the baby can be offered a cracker, cookies or a crust of bread, which are very timely during the teething period.
The diet of a child is 8 months old
Despite the fact that the child already has several teeth, he is not yet ready to eat hard food, the baby is only preparing for this. Therefore, cereals, vegetable and fruit puree, cottage cheese and kefir prevail in his diet. The menu of the 8-month-old child also includes fish and bread. To expand the diet, you can include puddings from rice and semolina, a little bread with butter.
As a dessert for the baby, fruit jelly is offered to pudding. The bright color and taste of this dish is much more attracted to a small child.
