Despite the abundance of information, the recommendations of pediatricians and WHO, for many parents the question of when to start lure remains open. After all, qualified doctors say that up to six months the baby does not need anything, and grandmothers say that it is necessary to teach a child to adulthood from a month old. No less relevant is the question of how to begin to get to know the baby with ordinary food. But even doctors and scientists can not come to a single opinion here.
Some say that it is better to start eating vegetables, others insist on fruit purees, others - on porridges. But the lure for Komarovsky begins with fermented milk products, for example with kefir. This doctor, popular in the CIS, justifies his opinion by saying that the baby's gastrointestinal tract is used exclusively to dairy products. In addition, it is in kefir contain special sour-milk bacteria that are able to resist various microbes and reduce the risk of intestinal infections. Also this product improves digestion and reduces the load on the baby's still weak liver.
The first lure Komarovsky recommends to enter at the beginning of the day, gradually replacing them with the second feeding of the baby. The sample is given very little: the first time it is enough to feed the child a couple of teaspoons. In the following days, the dose doubles until the baby begins to eat 100-150 grams of kefir in one feeding. Further feeding on Komarovsky is introduced as follows: somewhere on the 5th day of consumption of kefir, cottage cheese is added to it. Of course, this is done on the condition that the child does not have any rashes, digestive disorders, he is cheerful and healthy. By the age of 6-8 months, it is enough to gradually introduce 30 g of cottage cheese, by the 9th it is brought to 50 g. If the child does not like this food, Komarovsky recommends slightly sweetening it.
If you are introducing complementary foods according to Komarovsky, after complete replacement of one feeding with fermented milk products (and this should take about 7-10 days), you can enter one more feeding. This doctor recommends replacing the most recent meal with milk-cereals: buckwheat, rice or oatmeal. Cook it yourself or buy a soluble version in a box - it should solve the mother herself.
Introducing the lure for Komarovsky, only to 8 months in the diet of your baby you will add vegetables and fruits. To begin with, he recommends giving the child a vegetable decoction, and then switching to vegetable soup or mashed potatoes. After 2-3 weeks, add meat or a piece of egg yolk. Fruit Komarowski recommends giving only after the child has the first tooth, but not earlier than 6 months.
So it looks like feeding on Komarovsky. Table introduction of products, which is recommended to use the majority of pediatricians, is somewhat different from this scheme. So, many doctors believe that sour-milk products, and even more cottage cheese, are too heavy for children's stomach products. Therefore, most still recommend to start to enter vegetables or fruits. But here, too, have their pitfalls: after trying sweet apples or bananas, the baby can refuse to eat fresh cauliflower, zucchini or potatoes.
But at what age and with what products to begin to acquaint your child with adult food, should be decided only by the parents of the child, focusing on the recommendations of doctors and common sense.
