ለህፃናት ምግብ ስንጀምር የምንሰራችው 10 ከባድ ስህተቶች | 10 major mistakes when starting baby food | Dr. fasil 

Here are 10 major mistakes to avoid when starting your baby on solid foods:
1. Starting Too Early: Don't start solids before your baby is around 6 months old. Their digestive system needs time to mature, and introducing solids too early increases the risk of allergies and choking.
2. Waiting Too Long: Waiting too long also has drawbacks. After about 6 months, babies need the additional nutrition from solid foods. Prolonged delay can make your baby less receptive to new textures and flavors later on.
3. Focusing on Bland Foods: Your baby's developing tastebuds are ready to explore! Introduce a variety of flavors and textures early on - this will help them develop a healthy relationship with food.
4. Not Offering Enough Iron-Rich Foods: Babies need iron for healthy growth and development. Offer iron-rich foods, like fortified infant cereals, pureed meats, beans, and lentils, early and often.
5. Giving Too Many Sweets: Sugary treats are not only nutritionally void but create a preference for sweets. Focus on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains from the start.
6. Skipping Allergenic Foods: Current research suggests that early introduction of common allergens (like peanut and eggs) in age-appropriate forms may help reduce the risk of food allergies. Talk to your pediatrician about how to safely introduce potential allergens.
7. Ignoring Signs of Fullness: Watch for your baby turning their head away, closing their mouth, or getting fussy. Don't force them to finish their food; respect their cues.
8. Feeding Baby Separately: Mealtimes are social times! Include your baby in family meals as much as possible, even if they're not eating much. This fosters a positive social experience with food.
9. Giving Up Too Soon: It may take several tries for a baby to accept a new food. Be patient and keep offering a variety.
10. Being Afraid of the Mess: Embrace the process! Eating solids is a learning experience and will inevitably be messy. Put down a splat mat and let your baby have fun exploring the textures of their food.
Important to Remember: Always talk to your pediatrician about starting solids. Your doctor is the best source of information and can offer tailored advice based on your baby's specific needs and development.
