How to recommend baby food
I would like to introduce the basic baby food.
Last Updated July 1, 2020
■A guide to starting baby food
Estimated age is about 5 to 6 months after birth, but let's check your child's condition together.
●You can turn over with a tight neck.
●You can sit down if you support me
●I'm interested in food
●Even if you put a spoon in your mouth, it is less likely to push it out with your tongue.
It is a sign to start baby food if you see such things.
Let's first take a look at the time when your child is in good condition.
■Hygiene precautions
●Be sure to wash your hands before cooking.
●Wash ingredients such as vegetables and cooking utensils such as kitchen knives and cutting boards cleanly.
●Let's heat the ingredients well
●Let's reheat the ingredients that have been stored frozen.
●"Honey" should never be given until your child is over one year old to prevent baby/infant botulism.
(Because it does not affect breast milk, mothers can eat it.)
●Early weaning (around 5 to 6 months) "Gokun period"
It is time to practice to close the lips and swallow the smooth ground ingredients with "Gokun".
Set the number of meals once a day, during the daytime.

●Medium-term weaning (around 7-8 months) "Mogumogu" period
You will be able to crush the ingredients with your tongue and upper chin and eat it with "mogumogu".
We will change the form from what we are used to eating.
Add one meal to the previous meal and make it twice a day.

●Late weaning (9 to 11 months) "Kamikami Period"
You will be able to eat "Kamikami" by crushing with gums.
It's time to start eating again.
I'll eat three times a day.
