Jing mama used to go to the countryside to tell mothers and grandmothers about children's nutrition-related knowledge, every lecture can meet grandma has such a question, our children have been 10 months, will eat porridge will eat, but also to give children to drink milk powder?
When we were young before, we took our children, all of them were direct meal dishes without milk powder after drinking breast milk, and now what milk powder is nutritious, but I think that children drink milk powder is water, it is better to eat porridge and eat nutrition, so they will subconsciously let children eat more porridge and eat less milk, and think that this way makes children eat more nutritious and grow taller!
Contrary to grandma's opinion, some young mothers feel that there are dozens of nutrients in the nutritional ingredient list on milk powder, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and even DHA that helps the child's brain development, prebiotics that help the child's intestines, all kinds of nutrients, such a good thing, of course, let the child drink more and drink longer.
So as long as the child is willing to drink, you can drink a lot of milk every day, as long as the milk can drink the next meal and eat it doesn't matter, anyway, the milk is so nutritious, some children even to the age of two, can drink 800 ml or even 1000 ml of milk every day, the meal will eat very little.
These two extremes of grandma and mother are actually not conducive to the child's growth, not conducive to the child's growth and development, and not conducive to the child's health.
When a child is born, he can only drink milk, so why should he add complementary foods for 6 months? Reasons for parents to understand
★ It is related to the child's digestive ability
When the child was born, there were no teeth, and the chewing ability was also very weak, at this time you gave him food, he would not chew, all swallowed into the stomach, the digestion capacity of the gastrointestinal tract was weak, so he could only eat what to pull, and could not digest.
At this time, you can only give the child to drink liquid milk, and the proportion of protein and fat of milk is also very high, and all formula milk powder is matched according to the nutrition in breast milk, that is, to meet the child's digestive ability.
Slowly the child grows up, his digestive ability slowly matures, at this time to try to add some rice paste, soft rotten food to the child, stimulate the child's intestines to slowly develop, slowly healthy.
That is, drinking milk is because of immature digestive ability, and eating complementary foods is because the child's digestion is slowly maturing, and it is necessary to transition from drinking milk to an adult diet.
★ It has to do with your child's nutritional needs
The smaller the child grows faster, the more nutrients are needed, but the gastrointestinal digestion ability is not large, at this time, you can only give the child to drink some easy to digest, high nutritional value of the milk, such as breast milk or formula milk powder.
Breast milk has a very big disadvantage, the iron content is very small, the child reaches six or seven months, the iron brought from the mother is basically digested, and it must be supplemented from the daily diet.
At this time, it is necessary to add high-speed rail supplementary food to the child, such as rice flour of high-speed rail, or meat puree and liver mud.
★ It is related to the development of the child's taste buds
4-8 months is the time when the child's taste buds are more sensitive, so the addition of complementary foods at this time can make it easier for children to accept complementary foods, so that children can slowly feel the taste of complementary foods, if you miss this period, children may be prone to picky eating anorexia.
So when does the child drink milk? When to eat complementary foods? How is it distributed? It is related to the growth and development of the child.
Liu Changwei, a pediatric clinical nutritionist, mentioned in his book "What to Eat Every Week with Complementary Foods" that it is very important for children to have a reasonable amount of complementary foods and milk.
How to match your child's milk with complementary foods? Parents must be clear in order to benefit their children's health
Pure breast milk or formula 6 months ago
The child does not need to add complementary foods before 6 months, just give the child enough milk and breast milk, and give the child vitamin AD supplementation.
6 months to 12 months to ensure the amount of milk, timely addition of complementary foods
6 months - 12 months, the amount of milk to maintain 600 ~ 1000 ml and is decreasing, for example, the child in 6 to 7 months to drink 1000 ml of milk, the child to 8 to 10 months to drink 800 ml of milk, the child to 11 months to 12 months to drink 600 ml of milk, slowly the amount of milk is decreasing, the amount of complementary food is increasing.
1 to 3 years old complementary food is the mainstay, milk is supplemented
1 to 3 years old children's main nutrition comes from complementary foods, children begin to eat a variety of foods, every day to ensure 400 ~ 600 ml of milk can be, it is best not to exceed 600 ml.
After the child is 3 years old, the daily diet slowly approaches that of adults
After the age of three, children drink 400 ml of milk every day, and other major nutrients come from meals.
So milk for the growth of children, only before the age of one is the protagonist, after 6 months the meal will begin to add, after one year old meals are the child's staple food, to the child to do the right growth and development, suitable digestive characteristics, the child loves to eat complementary food, in order to make the child grow taller, healthier and smarter.
If the mother does not do a good job of complementary food, relying on milk powder is not conducive to the growth of the child.
So it is recommended that mothers buy a copy of "What to Eat Per Week with Complementary Foods".
There are more than 200 recipes in it, each of which is written in great detail, with time to prepare, time to cook, difficulty index, and how much nutritious ingredients are needed, how to make them, and what kind of nutrition is in this recipe.
There are also some misunderstandings that parents are prone to make when adding complementary foods, such as using rice soup juice as the baby's initial supplementary food, using juice or bone broth to mix rice noodles, parents avoid the misunderstanding that children can eat well and grow tall.
If the mother feels that she does not like to read the words, there are videos, the mother can do it when she gets her hands on it, she can love to eat it when she is a child, and she can grow up fast after eating the child.
The reason why many mothers are reluctant to make complementary food for their children is because they have worked hard for half a day, and the children do not like to eat, but the mothers bought this book, and then made recipes for their children according to this book, but found that the recipes inside were full of color and flavor, and the children especially loved to eat, and they could grow fast after eating.
The mother who purchased it said that it was too convenient to follow this book to add complementary food to the baby, and there were many recipes, and the explanation was very detailed, and it would be a look.
