Tips for Successful Baby Feeding

    Here are some tips that can greatly help with your baby's nutrition: -During the first two weeks, one or two teaspoons once a day of puree will be sufficient. -Choose a time of day between milk feedings: if the baby is too hungry, they won't have the patience to eat solids, and if they're not hungry, they probably won't eat anything. -Introduce each new food every three to five days to detect allergies. -Honey should not be given to babies under one year old due to the risk of botulism. -If they don't want to eat, offer them a little milk. -Depending on your baby's diet, the pediatrician may recommend vitamins or iron. -Don't force them to eat; mealtime should be pleasant and fun. -Gradually increase the amount of solids until reaching three meals a day. -Remember that your baby is discovering a new way to eat, and that can also be frustrating for them. Give them time. -Don't worry if they only suck on the spoon and rub their face at first; they are learning!! -If they want to grab the spoon, let them; babies are great imitators and need to experience things for themselves. This also helps them improve the coordination between what they see and what they grab. -Avoid sugar; once they get used to its taste, it will be difficult to get them to eat other foods. You can try fructose if needed, but it's better to avoid it altogether. -Don't get impatient if they ask for a bottle during meals. It is important to keep in mind that the nutritional needs of babies are completely different from those of adults. Forget about low calories and high-fiber diets. What babies need is exactly calories, energy, and meals that cater to their rapid growth. Therefore, it is essential that the foods they consume contain a wide variety of nutrients, plenty of calories, and that they are the same foods we use to prepare meals for the whole family.
