Before the child is three years old, it is early in life, and the first peak of height growth is about 50 centimeters at birth, about 76 centimeters when the child is one year old, and nearly one meter tall by the child's three-year-old. In just three years, the child's height has increased by 100%, the child's height has increased by 60%, and the main height is before the age of three!
However, if parents do not pay attention to feeding before the child is three years old, resulting in malnutrition of the child, it may affect the child's height growth, which will make the child's height grow slower than other children, resulting in the child growing taller.
There are 7 common wrong feeding methods that can affect the growth of your child's height
Myth 1: Give newborns glucose water to get jaundice
10 children 7 yellow, the most important thing is when the child is born, the excretion system in his body is not mature enough, can not immediately discharge the accumulated bilirubin in the body will lead to the child's skin yellow, if it is still yellow more serious, the doctor will recommend in the hospital to shine blue light, if not too serious doctor will recommend that the mother to give the child more milk, the child will naturally drink more milk will naturally defecate, more urination!
There are some old experiences but feel that children only drink milk to reduce jaundice is too slow, to give children to drink glucose water to get rid of jaundice faster, in fact, to give children to drink glucose water, will make children unwilling to drink breast milk, affect the secretion of milk, resulting in malnutrition affects height.
Myth 2: Give water to a child who was exclusively breastfed for 6 months
More than 88% of breast milk is water, the child drinks a lot of water at the same time, so the exclusive breastfeeding of the child is actually not thirsty, if you feed the exclusive breastfeeding child water, it will lead to the child to drink into the food in the water content is too high, affecting the child's nutrient absorption, resulting in insufficient nutrition of the child, affecting the height!
It can even lead to a child's reluctance to spend any more effort sucking on breast milk.
Myth 3: Drinking milk powder grows fast
Some mothers find that it seems that children who drink milk powder grow fatter, and the nutrition in milk powder is more stable and balanced.
But drinking milk powder children this fat is not a good thing, the child's weight growth is too fast, but may inhibit the growth of the child's height, there are also studies found that the probability of children who drink breast milk to adulthood is lower than the probability of drinking milk powder, and the child grows up slowly, obesity may stimulate the secretion of endocrine hormones, resulting in bone age advance, affecting the growth of children's height.
Myth 4: Add complementary foods before 6 months
Milk powder breast milk is water, children who are not full of food always get up at night to drink night milk, so add complementary food to the child early, the child sleeps well at night, and does not know that the child's digestive system development is regular. Adding complementary foods to children too early will lead to indigestion and accumulation of food, resulting in a reduction in the amount of milk the child drinks, affecting the child's nutritional intake.
It is also possible to add complementary foods prematurely to cause children to be allergic, affecting children's health, and causing children's growth and development to be affected.
Myth 5: Calcium supplementation does not supplement vitamin D
Children before the age of three as long as the amount of milk, complementary food balance basically calcium is not lacking, but is deficient in vitamin D, because vitamin D in the daily diet content is relatively small, the source of adult vitamin D is mainly sun, children before the age of three years old outdoor activities less time. Coupled with its limited ability to synthesize vitamin D, it can only be supplemented with additional vitamin D!
The Chinese Nutrition Association recommends that children should take vitamin D supplements for several days after birth, 400 to 800 international units per day, until children are over two years old, and even recommended to three years old.
Because vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium in the intestine, promote the deposition of calcium in the bones, and prevent the loss of calcium in the kidneys.
Myth 6: Let your child eat while playing
Children grow up slowly, the outside world will become very curious, so it is easy to be distracted when eating, thinking about playing, some parents simply let the child play with toys while feeding the child.
As everyone knows, this will lead to the concentration of the blood of the child's body in the brain, but it is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food, and the child is not interested in eating when playing, and over time it will be picky and anorexia, and the child's picky eating anorexia will affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients, which will lead to the child's height growth.
Myth 7: 8 months and often eat rice paste
The child's first bite of food supplementary advice is the high-speed rail rice paste, mainly because the child's chewing ability, swallowing ability are limited, can only eat some mushy food, slowly children eat rice paste, about 1 to 2 months, chewing ability is relatively strong, it is recommended to make some soft and rotten porridge or meat for the child, if the child still eats rice paste for 8 months, it is not conducive to the child's teeth and chewing ability to exercise, to the child grows up or eat soft rotten food, it is easy to lead to picky eating, malnutrition.
