Baby food at 7 months
The nutrition of a seven-month-old baby is radically different from that of an infant. Despite the fact that many children still receive breast milk, a large number of "adult food" products are already present in the diet, and their number is growing every day - porridge, vegetable puree, meat, fruit and vegetable juices, vegetable and butter. A baby eats about 1000 grams of food per day, if you divide it by the number of feedings (5), then at a time the baby will receive 200 grams. You can accurately calculate the volume, taking into account body weight.
However, experts advise giving the baby food on demand, if he is gaining weight and feeling healthy. You can feed him more often, respectively, reducing the norm. If the baby is still receiving breast milk, the first, third and last feeding should be breastfeeding, and complementary foods are given at intervals. At 14-00, lunch time as a complementary meal is added cottage cheese. It should also be done with mixed feeding, replenishing the missing norm of milk with a milk mixture, for example, “Agu”.
On artificial feeding, the feeding schedule from 6 am to 10 pm can look like this:
1 feeding - a mixture, 200 grams,
2 feeding - milk porridge, vegetable or fruit puree 50 grams, a part of egg dairy (half a spoon).
3 feeding - meat and vegetable puree (50 + 150 grams).
4 feeding - fermented milk mixture, cottage cheese
5 feeding - milk formula.
Cookies and crackers can be given to the baby if there is no food allergy. In general, if severe allergic reactions are present, then with the introduction of intensive feeding, you need to wait another couple of months. Purchase foods for feeding in children's kitchens, in order to avoid the ingestion of stabilizers, E. coli, and too much fat in the baby's body. Feel free to consult your doctor for any reason. In accustoming the baby to meat, start with two tablespoons of the broth, then slowly add the mashed meat from chicken or beef. Mashed potatoes can be mixed with vegetable, rubbing through a sieve. Then try to introduce the liver into the diet, also boiling it and rubbing it through a sieve. You can also try peas, cabbage, beets.
The regimen of the day of the child at 7 months
Despite the democratic advice on raising children, none of the most progressive pediatricians detracts from the importance of the regimen of the day. Moreover, it is very important, especially for excitable children. The daily regimen must be observed with the characteristics and needs of the developing organism, and especially those members of the family who devote the most time to care. The kid gets used to sleep at the same time, to the sequence of activities, bathing, feeding, massage and walking, and this is very good. The first feeding is carried out quite early - at 6 in the morning, but even earlier, when the baby wakes up, you need to carry out hygiene procedures - wash it, rinse your eyes, wash it after a night's sleep.
After feeding, you can do gymnastics and massage, chat with the cub. After the second feeding and sleep - a walk in the fresh air. Then again feeding, a period of wakefulness and sleep, can be combined with a walk. In the evening, you can once again do gymnastics, chat with the baby, then bathing procedures, the last feeding and a night's sleep. Pay a little attention to preparing for bed, slow down your movements, speech, put on calm music. A systematic approach will greatly facilitate the care of the baby and life for everyone at home.

Numerous relatives, acquaintances, parents themselves simply fill up modern children with toys. Of course, this is very important, but it’s better to choose toys not all in a row, but those that develop speech, actions. In addition to exercise, adults help the child to develop intellectually. Carry out exercises with him according to the plan - we speak, show, communicate, do not lisp, but talk like adults. Try to name objects shortly - for example, a kitty, a hare. Describe things, express emotions, communicate on different topics.
This is the period when the baby can already understand the words "can" and "not." It is desirable that the prohibitions be three times less, only with regard to the safety of the little man. Developing toys will help to develop logic, motor skills: press the piano buttons together, collect pyramids or cymbals, rings, play gesture games, for example, to the music "And butterfly wings byak-byak ..." clap with it "wings".
Games and toys for children at 7 months
You should not discount famous rattles, but they already have a different role to play - for example, we teach your baby to put objects in a special basket or drawer. Although seven-month-old children are still attracted by story rattles with figures or faces. Toys with which the baby plays with pleasure are pyramids, various musical instruments, rings and balls. Complex actions cause perseverance and, sometimes, stubbornness in achieving the goal. Kids love games such as "All kittens washed their feet", frogs, slides.
The game "Gotcha!"
We play on the floor on a spread blanket. The kid is lying on his tummy, and you are next to him on all fours. When approaching the child, say: "I will catch you!". Funny and fun game like kids, especially if you slightly tickle the baby. The peanut will try to run away from you, at least a good mood is provided. Such outdoor games should not be played in the evening before going to bed so that excessive excitement does not appear. Toys that can be rolled (balls and balls) can also be used for classes. At the age of the “slider”, small figures on wheels — cars, wheelchairs., As well as large inflatable toys on which you can sit or get inside — a boat, an inflatable playpen, a house, are useful.
It is also useful to make such toys yourself:
- a box with holes of various shapes, where different figures are inserted;
- garlands of small toys or rattles attached to a ribbon;
- wooden blocks of various shapes and shreds of fabric;
- boxes with a surprise.

Useful Tips for Parents
Security
For the crumbs, actively exploring the surrounding space, you need to create a safe zone. Use plugs for sockets, silicone nozzles, locks for cabinet doors, glass stickers. Stimulate the crawl of the baby so that he sits less while his spine is not strong enough.
Bathing baby
For bathing babies, you can use special rugs that will help not to slip in the water and not to fall. You can not worry, but still do not leave the child alone, even if there is very little water. Play games with him - pat on the water, launch the boats, pour water from one container to another, blow bubbles and whip the foam.
