When can we eat rice noodles_How many months can we eat rice noodles

When mothers choose complementary foods for their babies, they generally choose rice noodles, because rice is one of the main staple foods of people in many areas. It has a strong sense of fullness and can provide the calories necessary for the human body. Rice flour made from rice can allow babies to directly supplement the nutritional value contained in rice. Generally, rice cereal can be used as a complementary food when the baby is six months old, but how old should the baby be when eating rice cereal?

1 How many months should babies eat rice cereal?

There is no standard answer and no specific time limit. Baby rice cereal is well-deserved to be the "first dish" of complementary food, but since it is a "complementary food", it occupies a secondary position in the dietary structure. After one year old, as the baby's swallowing and chewing abilities develop further, many babies no longer need to use mushy rice cereal and instead try semi-solid or solid food. There is no doubt that rice noodles are just a transition and can be fed to children from 2 to 3 months. After the child can accept powdered food, you can stop feeding him rice noodles and instead feed him soft noodles, baby porridge, etc. that are suitable for the baby.

Note: Generally, babies no longer need to eat rice cereal when they are one year old and can accept some adult foods.

2 How to prepare baby rice cereal correctly?

There is no exact data on the ratio of rice flour to water. It depends entirely on the baby's age and adaptability. When your baby first starts to eat rice cereal, you can make it thinner, and then gradually make it thicker. If the water temperature for making rice noodles is too high, the nutrients in the rice noodles will easily be lost; if the water temperature is too low, the rice noodles will not dissolve and will clump together, causing indigestion for babies. The more suitable water temperature is 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. The hot water from the water dispenser used in ordinary households should be enough to soak rice noodles.

Note: Mothers do not need to cook the prepared rice noodles, otherwise the water-soluble nutrients in the rice noodles will be easily destroyed. The suitable water temperature for preparing rice noodles is 70℃～80℃.

3 Can I use fruit juice, vegetable juice or vegetable soup when making rice noodles?

It doesn’t matter. The key is whether the baby can accept it. In fact, many rice noodles nowadays are not pure rice noodles. They have been added with fruit juice and vegetable juice, which makes them taste more delicious and nutritious. It should be noted that if the mother uses vegetable soup to cook rice noodles, it should be noted that the soup should not contain salt and seasonings, so as not to overwhelm the baby's immature kidneys. So when feeding rice cereal to babies, can we add some chopped vegetable leaves? Generally speaking, because the digestive system and chewing function are not yet perfect, babies under 6 months old must use a juicer to grind vegetable leaves. For babies over 6 months old, you can add finely chopped vegetable leaves when feeding rice cereal.
