Why do children need to eat solids at the right time?
Prof. Harris, University of Birmingham, UK has reported on the influence of frame development (ability to familiarize with taste) on the child's weaning process. Accordingly, in each stage, children can develop weaning skills according to the cognitive development of food structure, brain awareness. Thereby recognizing the taste and structure of food better as well as reducing anorexia in later stages.
Accordingly, the best time to start weaning is when the baby can accept a different source of food than milk in terms of taste, structure, and ability to have independent perception and movement. Usually the 6th or 4th month, children can sit on the floor for about 10 minutes, bring toys to their mouths, swallow soft foods like bananas.
When babies start to eat solids, in addition to formula, babies need to get used to weaning foods because their energy and nutritional needs increase. Not only that, but weaning is especially important for developing basic eating skills, helping children learn how to coordinate food tastes, chewing and eating behaviors. In addition, weaning will also help children supplement some important nutrients needed for development during this period.
Some notes when breastfeeding babies mothers need to know
Not only providing adequate nutrition for growth through the addition of 4 main groups of substances: protein from meat, fish, eggs, milk; vegetable / animal fats; Powdered sugar from cereals, rice flour, noodles ... and vitamins, minerals from vegetables, roots, fruits ..., the weaning phase also helps to strengthen immunity, strengthen physical, support digestion and develop mind. brain in children.

The baby's stomach is also quite small (5 times smaller than an adult), so it is not possible to apply the adult diet to the child. Forcing the child to eat too much, exceeding the permitted level of the stomach will make the child uncomfortable and afraid every time he sees the food. That is the reason that in order to ensure adequate supply of nutrients for the child during the weaning phase, mothers need to comply with the following principles: Feed the child more or less; From thin to thick, thick; From smooth to rough; From a group to several food groups. The baby's daily intake is also in compliance with the principle from less to more with 1 time / day for the first 2 weeks, 2-3 times / day for the next 2 months, 3-4 times / day when the baby is 9-11 months of age and depending on needs when the child is from 12-24 months old. At the same time, mothers need to pay attention to choosing nutritious foods suitable for the small stomach capacity of the baby.
