Nutrition-packed baby food information from a pediatrician and father!

From explaining the process of when to start feeding your baby solid food, what to feed first, the appropriate amount at each stage, and the most ideal meal schedule, to how to deal with a child who doesn't eat or throws tantrums, I will reveal all the know-how on how to proceed with solid food that I have personally encountered and realized while raising my daughter Seung-ah.
As a pediatrician, I have included in this book all the information that mothers should know in advance, including nutritional information for each ingredient that they can feed their children with confidence, foods to be careful of, and concerns mothers have about weaning food at each stage.
The overwhelming recipes and basic information, worthy of the praise of being called the "baby food bible" and "baby food introduction book," will be the most reliable weapon for mothers starting to introduce baby food.


A special healthy recipe from a skilled mom, with recommended baby food for each situation!

The basics of baby food are ingredient selection and preparation.
It is full of know-how on making baby food that mothers are curious about, such as choosing healthy ingredients, handling methods for each ingredient, precautions when choosing baby food tools, secrets to making it taste good without seasoning, storage and thawing methods, and tips for making side dishes and snacks.
Especially as you move into the middle stage of weaning, you will need a variety of recipes, but the fact that this is not a weaning book that makes you look through several books is also a strength.
Contains 710 baby food and 180 snack recipes, enough to introduce a variety of foods to your baby and provide them with the joy of eating from the early, middle, late, and final stages.

When is the best time to start solid foods? The most definitive answer is "when your child wants it."
So how can you tell if your child wants it? The following may provide clues.
1.
When the extrusion reflex (pushing out with the tongue) disappears
2.
When a child shows interest in food (e.g., munching or drooling when watching adults eat)
3.
When you can sit upright for more than 30 minutes
4.
When the weight is more than double the birth weight
However, you should not start giving solid foods based solely on clues given by your child.
There is a time for everything.
Starting solid foods too early can lead to aspiration and, according to some studies, may increase the risk of obesity.
They say there is also a high possibility of being exposed to allergic diseases.
Conversely, what happens if you start too late? Side effects can include iron deficiency (in breastfed infants), growth retardation, delayed oral motility, aversion to liquids, and allergic diseases (such as asthma, atopy, and asthma).
Above all, if you force your child to eat when he or she is not ready, he or she may develop trauma about eating.
Therefore, let's refer to objective indicators for the timing of solid food introduction.

One of the biggest challenges mothers face when introducing solid foods is increasing particle size.
Increasing the particle size is essential for children who gag, children who swallow without chewing well, children who are often sick, children who spit out baby food, and children whose teeth come in later than others.
Especially when introducing early solids, controlling particle size can be very helpful in starting mid-stage solids.
Rather than unconditionally feeding them 10 times the amount of liquid porridge just because it is the early stage, divide the early stage weaning food into early, middle, and late stages and gradually increase the concentration and particle size of the food so that they can gradually reach the porridge form in the middle stage and the soft rice form in the later stage.

Always keep in mind that rather than proceeding with the concept of feeding baby food, you are giving them the opportunity to eat.
The child eventually has to feed himself.
I recommend starting the 'self-eating' phase from the first month of weaning.
Many people say 7-8 months, but when I started weaning Seungah, I realized that it wasn't easy.
Around 9 months of age, when children begin to eat solid foods, they begin to show a strong tendency to imitate adult behavior and develop their own opinions.
I'm trying to do something myself.
As children's needs become more diverse, their autonomy at the table must also be secured.
Of course, it is better to give them a spoon in their hand and expose them to it before that.

'You don't have to do it before the completion stage' and 'You can do it little by little after the completion stage' are both correct.
But there is no need to rush just because the time has come.
Don't keep trying to find the reason your child won't eat in the 'liver'.
It's not that I don't eat liver, it's just that I don't feel like eating for a while.
Seung-ah also had periods when she continued to swear at baby food.
There were times when I worried about whether I should add salt, but I thought, 'The child doesn't have a desire for salty food yet,' and thought about more delicious side dishes or dishes that I could make without salt.
After some time had passed, strangely enough, I started eating well again.
The secret to a delicious dish without seasoning is in the broth.
Also try making the broth in stages.
At first, only meat or vegetable stock was used, then kelp stock, and then anchovy stock, etc.
Even if you season baby food, make sure it's really light so your baby doesn't get too used to it.
Because our tongue adapts to the taste of food faster than we think.
As your tongue becomes accustomed to salty tastes, your taste buds will develop a tolerance and you will crave more intense flavors.
