Complementary food for 9 months and above: tofu and shrimp cake

Overview

Around 8 months old, children have gradually adapted to the roughness of complementary foods, and their chewing power has further improved. At this time, we should make more finger foods for our children, which not only increases the pleasure of eating, but also exercises their chewing power. The golden period of chewing power training between 7 and 12 months must be grasped well. Delaying the introduction of solid foods can lead to many adverse consequences. 1. It affects chewing ability, and you cannot get exercise by eating pureed food for a long time. 2. It is easy to cause malnutrition, and the food intake is very limited, which may cause the lack of certain nutrients and affect growth and development. 3. It affects the development of healthy eating habits, resulting in partial eclipse or eating problems, such as not liking to eat hard food and liking to drink porridge, etc. 4. It affects the development of chewing ability. The mouth muscles cannot be exercised, which will affect pronunciation and pronunciation, and language development is also hindered. The purpose of telling this is not to cause you to panic, but to hope that you realize the importance of chewing exercise. In fact, children have great potential as long as you give them a little exercise. There will definitely be no problem in handling food. This shrimp cake is very soft and tender. It can be easily crushed by the gums without teeth for eight or nine months. So don’t think that your child will continue to eat mushy things without teeth. It doesn’t matter if teething comes sooner or later. It is normal. They do not rely on teeth but on the crushing of gums and the cooperation of tongue to process food. Some children will vomit after eating, which is normal. If it is not serious, just keep practicing. If they keep vomiting, check whether the food is too hard and the child may not be able to handle it.
