Dietary needs of one- and three-month-old babies
At three months old, the baby has begun to gradually switch from breast milk or formula to complementary food. However, since the baby\’s appetite is still very small, he only needs to be fed 2-3 times a day. At this time, the baby should be provided with easily digestible food, such as rice noodles, vegetable purees, fruit purees, etc.
2. Rice noodles are the first choice for three-month-old babies
Rice noodles are one of the most suitable complementary foods for three-month-old babies. Rice flour is rich in carbohydrates and vitamin B complex, which is very beneficial for helping babies digest and enhance immunity. At the same time, because rice flour has a light taste and is easy to digest and absorb, it is very suitable for babies who are just starting to be exposed to complementary foods.
3. Vegetable puree can increase nutritional intake
In addition to rice noodles, vegetable puree is also one of the complementary foods that three-month-old babies can try. Vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, which are very important for promoting the healthy development of babies. At the same time, vegetable puree can also increase the baby\’s nutritional intake and help the baby better adapt to complementary foods.
4. Fruit puree can provide vitamin C
At three months old, the baby can already start eating some fruit puree. Fruits are rich in vitamin C and other nutrients, which are very beneficial for helping babies strengthen their immunity and promote physical development. However, be careful not to add too much sugar when feeding fruit puree to your baby.
5. Things to note when feeding complementary foods

2. Don’t feed too much each time to avoid indigestion;
3. Food should be fresh, clean and hygienic;
4. Don’t add too much flavoring or sugar.
6. Summary

At the same time, you need to pay attention to the freshness and hygiene of the food, and avoid adding too many condiments or sugars.
