Six month old baby's breasts protruding

For normal people, when they grow to puberty, the body will secrete a large amount of estrogen, which also promotes the development and growth of breasts. Not only women's breasts will develop, but the small amount of estrogen secreted in men's bodies will also promote the tiny development of breasts. The chest of a 6-month-old baby should be flat, because there is no estrogen secretion in their body at this time, but why is it found that the breasts of a 6-month-old baby are protruding?

It is considered that because there is relatively more subcutaneous fat, the breasts may be more prominent and the baby may be fatter. It may also be caused by the estrogen obtained from the mother in the child's body when he is a few months old. Early breast development is generally a benign process, and it often occurs in children under 3 years old. Their growth and bone age are basically normal, and breast development will not progressively worsen, so don't worry.

What complementary food should a 6-month-old baby eat?

For babies aged 6 to 8 months, spinach, broccoli, chopped greens, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, eggplant, beets, watermelon, orange juice, strawberries, mangoes, lemons, avocados, pureed liver, pureed fish, minced pork, minced beef, crab, pureed shrimp, chicken porridge, soft noodles, tender tofu, biscuits, bread slices and other complementary foods can be added.

Note: Liver puree can only be eaten when the baby is 7 months old, and should not be added too early.

Serving size: 5-10 grams of complementary food each time. According to Chinese traditional habits, fish paste is added earlier.

Feeding frequency: Add complementary food 3 times a day during this stage.

Precautions for adding complementary food to six-month-old babies

1. Start with a small amount and gradually increase.

When the child is willing to eat and can digest it normally, gradually increase the amount. If the child refuses to eat, do not force him to eat. You can feed him again after 2-3 days. Forcing children to eat will only backfire.

2. Complementary food should be changed from thin to dry, and from fine to coarse.

Complementary food should be increased gradually from thin to dry, from fine to coarse, from soft to hard, from light to thick, step by step, so that the child has a period of gradual adaptation. Do not add it all at once, otherwise the child will not be able to adapt.

3. Add complementary foods according to the season and the child’s physical condition.

Complementary foods should be added according to the season and the child's physical condition, and should be increased one by one, gradually increasing to a variety of types. If the child's stool becomes loose and abnormal, stop increasing the dosage and wait until it returns to normal before increasing it again. In addition, do not add complementary foods in the hot summer or when the child is not in good health to avoid discomfort to the child. It is best to wait until autumn when the weather is cooler.

4. Add it when the baby is hungry before feeding.

Complementary food should be added when the child is hungry before feeding, so that the child can accept it more easily. As the amount of complementary food is gradually increased, you can gradually transition from replacing half a meal of milk to replacing one meal of milk a day.

5. Baby tableware should be fixed and dedicated.

Pay attention to hygiene. Baby tableware should be used in fixed and dedicated places. In addition to washing it carefully, it should also be disinfected daily. When feeding, parents do not need to blow while feeding, and should not chew the food in their own mouth and then spit it out to feed the baby. This practice is extremely unhygienic and can easily transmit diseases to children.

6. Train your child to adapt to using tableware.

When feeding complementary foods, you should train your child to gradually adapt to using tableware, and prepare him or her for using tableware independently in the future. Generally, a 6-month-old baby can take the spoon and put it in his or her mouth by himself or herself, and a 7-month-old baby can drink water from a cup or bowl.

7. Parents should be patient when feeding their children complementary foods.

When feeding their babies complementary foods, parents should be patient and find ways to make their children interested in food.
