Easy way to Feed Your Baby Solid Foods

When one looks down into a stroller or crib and sees a new bundle of joy, pressure to be the best possible parent emerges. There is no greater responsibility as a parent than to provide the best nutrition possible for a newborn baby. We now know that childhood nutrition influences every aspect of the baby's health and life well into adulthood. From your baby's intelligence to your baby's physical appearance, what you feed your baby can influence your baby's development. The amount of protein you incorporate into your child's diet may even have an impact on your child's height. However, it is not always instinctive to know what to feed your baby. Let us consider some useful tips on feeding your baby!



The importance of breast milk

Leading childhood medical experts and nutritional research institutions all unanimously agree that human breast milk is the best food choice for your baby’s brain and musculoskeletal development. New mothers are encouraged to feed their babies exclusively with breastmilk for the first six-months of the child's life.

You don't have to be afraid of feeding your baby in public. For modesty purposes, keep a blanket in the baby's stroller to cover any exposed flesh. You may also want to buy clothes that have buttoned or zippered flaps to provide easy access to the breast. This will make you feel more comfortable when breastfeeding. Breast milk is a virtual smorgasbord of beneficial nutrients your baby's tiny, growing body needs. it provides calcium and iron in an easily digestible form.
Your baby's bones will need the calcium and iron to grow tall and strong. Breast milk provides a powerful blend of protein, fat, carbohydrates, amino acids and vitamins necessary for the child's development. The mother also passes on immunity to various diseases via feeding her baby through breast milk. This immunity is passed on via leukocytes in the breast milk. No other milk or formula on the market can mimic the disease prevention of live leukocytes when feeding your baby.


Tips for Feeding Your Baby as a working mom

One does not have to be a stay-at-home mother to feed the baby with breastmilk. Working moms can still provide adequate nutrition. If the mother can't be with her baby to physically feed him or her, there are several breast milk pumps available to pump milk from the mother's breast into sterile bottles. The bottles can be refrigerated and then heated to a temperature close to the temperature of breast milk straight from the breast. A nanny, father or a caregiver can then feed the baby, with the bottle, while the new mom is away. Many women struggle with breastfeeding; however, there are a growing number of professional lactation experts available to lessen these problems for women. If a mother cannot produce milk, qualifying mothers are banding together to establish veritable “milk banks,” so every parent can feed a baby breast milk and give the child the best nutritional foundation possible.

In addition to providing your baby with a superior nutritional start, breastfeeding a newborn baby is an authentic and natural way for the mother to bond with her child. The benefits of breastmilk stretch far into the baby's future. Feeding your baby on breast milk reduces the baby's chance of developing Type II Diabetes later in life. There are also health benefits for the mother from quicker shedding of dreaded baby weight to a lower risk of ovarian cancer later in her life.

Tips for Feeding Your Baby Post-Breast Milk

Feeding the baby gets much more complicated when it is time to wean the child off of breast milk. Baby-led weaning occurs when your baby develops a preference for solid food and loses interest in the breast. This can happen early or late in your baby's infancy. There is no standard cut-off age for breastfeeding and many mothers are now choosing to breastfeed much later than their mothers and grandmothers.

Opposed to baby-led weaning, mother-led weaning is a bit trickier. Although it is more challenging, tips for feeding your baby during this stage of your baby's development present viable options for you. The mother should not just stop breastfeeding, but instead, she should opt to gradually decrease the amount of time spent breastfeeding over several weeks or months. This prevents overstressing the baby. Some babies will refuse to eat solid food if weaned too abruptly.

Tips for Feeding Your Baby Solid Foods

When a child is at least one-year-old or, he or she can start consuming cow's milk. Incorporating five drops of breast milk or cow's milk with one teaspoon of single-grain, iron-fortified cereal is an age-old way to introduce babies to eating solid food. If feeding the baby this mixture of breast milk and cereal is successful, the mother may start introducing pureed fruits and vegetables into the baby's diet.



Experts advise new mothers not to overload the baby’s palate with feeding him or her lots of new choices all at once. Instead, introduce the baby to one new food at a time. That way the baby's preferences with various fruits and vegetables will emerge. One will ascertain the baby's likes and dislikes and better know what to feed the baby in the future when he or she is strolling around the local park hungry for a quick, healthy snack.


Convenient, Healthy Choices

One of the key tips for feeding your baby is fostering your baby's love for fruits and vegetables. A healthy relationship with fruits and vegetables will benefit the child far beyond his or her formative years. Fruits and veggies are powerhouses of antioxidants and essential vitamins. They are a quick snack that can be easily transported in a stroller or diaper bag.

Fruits and vegetables should be organic when possible. There are various certifications when grocery-shopping to be on the lookout for, so you can make sure you are feeding your baby organic fruits and vegetables. One should also look for fruits and vegetables that are not genetically-modified or “non-GMO."A new parent will need to thoroughly research all the appropriate labeling to make sure he or she is feeding the baby the best possible produce free or pesticides, chemicals and not subjected to genetic modification.

The toddler years are some of the most challenging in terms of feeding the child. The baby has the capability to enjoy more solid foods such as graham crackers. Solid, dry cereal is also a quick and eas'glr choice popular with moms and strolling-babies alike. Finger-foods like graham crackers are another go-to choose while strolling around feeding your baby on-the-go in his or her stroller. Many moms choose to keep bananas and apples in the zippered part of the baby's stroller. These pieces of fruit last longer and spoil much later than more exposed fruits such as peaches and strawberries.

Ready-made foods like cheerios are also convenient choices for trips to the park or taking the baby in the stroller while the mom goes for a much-needed walk or run. It is best to avoid the convenience of kid’s meals available at the local fast-food franchise as these meals are nutritional rubbish.



Tips for Feeding Your Baby Fun Food

If your toddler likes to play with a kid’s meal toy from a popular fast food restaurant, opt to purchase the toy separately and give your baby the healthy snack you brought from home instead of the fast food. This way, the child associates the fun toy with healthy food and not the grease-laden fast foods.

Another one of the most crucial tips for feeding your baby is to try to keep the food fun. Toddlers love to put new shapes and textures in their mouths and explore food with all five senses. Encourage this by bringing several containers of foods with varying smells, textures, and tastes.


Following these suggestions and tips to feed your baby will keep your baby happy in his or her stroller. Not only that, your baby will grow and developer faster and better.
