Food and Your Baby
The initial few months of feeding a baby are straightforward. It's milk all the way! Wether it is dried milk or straight from your breast, it's all the baby desires to grow and flourish. But after a few months there comes a point where you want to transition to solid food. One of the first things you must try is fruit. Don't start with potato chips or any sweets please.
It may sound standard for you but there are many thousands of mothers and fathers around the globe who feed their youngsters candy. The worst part? They then ask why they won't eat and after a bit just tell others they don't like 'vegetables'. Would you if you had the choice between candy and broccoli at the age of 1? Me neither.
Fruit it is then. A really good one is a banana. It is completely full of fibres, a touch solid and it fills their stomach. In contrast to oranges which have a large amount of juice and can be really sour. It isn't as nasty as candy however it will ruin their little teeth after a little while. One thing to watch out with is honey, you might be almost convinced to feed your baby yoghurt with honey and some oatmeal but honey can be really threatening for youngsters below the age of 2.
Why you ask? Because the bees that produce the honey can carry a small pathogen, perfectly harmless for adults but life-threatening for small children! Do not feed honey or any products containing honey to your kid.
After a bit your kid will stop with drinking milk. This differs from kid to child. Some after 2 months, others are known to still be breastfed after 2 years. Eventually it's possible to get rid of those pregnancy bra's (or zwangerschapslingerie where I come from) But this is anything apart from the standard! Your kid will let you know when he hates it any more. And when he does, I am hoping you aren't wearing your new shirt.
Salmsed Turns is a dutch writer with a specific fondness of baby related subjects. This is probably thanks to the fact that he has just become dad of a beautiful little girl. Fed up with all of the kraamcadeaus he found a conduit for that in his writing. Other subjects he likes are (in Dutch) : Zwangerschapslingerie en Luiertassen.
