THE 6-TO-8-MONTH-OLD BABY
Mom, even if I eat your food, I still need breastfeeding, ok? This way I get stronger and healthier, and I feel happier being closer to you!
Dear parents! Be happy, humble, loving, and patient. Keep within the family bonds of peace to preserve the unit of spirit!
The baby will start tasting other foods in addition to breast milk. This requires patience from the mother and whoever takes care of the baby. You should not force them or spank them to eat. They need to be calm to be able to feed well.
At first, the food needs to be crushed, as the baby does not know how to chew yet. Increase the amount of food for the baby each day.
When the baby spits out the food, this does not mean they did not like it, but that they are finding something strange that they don’t know yet. It is necessary to offer the same food sometime later.
The baby’s food should not be sweetened. Sugar is one of the main causes of the appearance of tooth cavities.
Keep cleaning the baby’s mouth with a cloth and starting to brush the teeth that are coming out without toothpaste, especially before sleeping.
If the baby has diarrhea, continue to give them food and also offer homemade ORS in small amounts several times a day. This avoids dehydration, which is the loss of too much fluid from the body.
Talk to me if you have any questions about how to prepare homemade ORS or need a measuring spoon.
Remember to take the baby to the health service to get vaccines appropriate to their age.
