Initial appetite
Newborn male babies do not have a very good appetite, so mothers need to buy nutritious food suitable for babies. Below we will introduce some dietary health suggestions for baby boys from four aspects, hoping to help new mothers.
Formula milk
Breast milk is the best dietary choice for a newborn baby boy. But if breast milk is not enough or there are some difficulties, you can choose formula milk suitable for the baby. It is recommended to choose formula milk with whey protein, milk protein, and gelatin protein as the main protein components to adapt to the digestive ability of baby boys. In addition, be careful not to add sugar, honey and other overly sweet ingredients.
Complementary food addition
Baby boys can gradually add complementary foods around 6 months old. When adding complementary foods, you should start with thin porridge, and add it only once a day at the beginning, with no more than 50ml each time. As time goes by, the frequency and amount of food can be gradually increased. At the same time, when adding complementary food to a male baby, it is best to focus on a single ingredient to test whether the male baby is allergic to that ingredient.
Supplementation of multiple nutrients
The growth of baby boys requires the support of various nutrients, so mothers need to add foods with a variety of nutrients to their baby\’s diet. Foods such as meat, eggs, milk, tofu, and vegetables can supplement protein, calcium, iron and other nutrients for baby boys.
Pay attention to food safety and hygiene
The food for your baby boy must be fresh and hygienic, otherwise it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort to your baby boy. When making food for baby boys, pay attention to scrubbing the ingredients, avoid adding unsafe foods, and strengthen heat preservation and other measures to ensure that baby boys eat healthy and safe food.
Summary
Dietary health recommendations for baby boys include formula milk, supplementary food supplements, supplements of various nutrients, and attention to food safety and hygiene. Mothers should pay attention to the amount and frequency when giving food to their male babies. They should not overdo it or add food too early, and they should not get tired of eating the same food. They should pay attention to diversified combinations to ensure the healthy growth of their male babies.
