Can a one and a half year old baby eat shrimp?

Shrimp is a very common seafood in our lives. This seafood is rich in calcium, so many families like to eat shrimp. When eating shrimp, everyone will choose to eat it in oil-braised prawns. For babies, some shrimps are usually added to the baby's complementary food to make it easier for the baby to digest. So can a one-and-a-half-year-old baby eat shrimp?

Shrimp is nutritious and its meat is soft and easy to digest. It is also rich in phosphorus and calcium, and is especially beneficial to babies. If the baby has no allergic symptoms, you can feed the baby some shrimp paste in appropriate amounts after the baby is over 2 years old, but don't feed too much at one time. If the baby is too young, he should not be given food because his digestive system is not yet perfect.

Babies who are used to eating milk may not be used to the taste of complementary foods when they start to eat complementary foods, and may resist eating complementary foods or eat very little. Mothers can make their babies love eating complementary foods through some methods, such as combining different ingredients, changing cooking methods, etc., and they should also give appropriate encouragement to babies who eat complementary foods smoothly.

1. The best time to feed your baby complementary food is before he drinks milk, when he is hungry and is more interested in accepting new food. At the same time, you also need to fix the feeding time so that he can develop a routine. When the time comes, he will know to use a spoon or a small bowl to eat complementary food.

2. Don’t feed too much at the beginning.

3. If your baby doesn’t like a certain food, you can feed him other types of food first and try again after a while.

4. If the baby does not like a certain complementary food, the mother can also attract his interest by changing the cooking method and using different flavors.

5. When your baby is willing to try new foods, parents should remember to encourage him.
