Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which is what we often say about nutritious food, and it is also a good food for small babies who eat complementary foods, but because protein is easy to cause allergies, there is a lot of attention when adding eggs to the baby, otherwise eating is not easy to harm the health of the baby.
Baby food supplement add eggs, eating is not harmful to health
As a common nutritious food, eggs are also one of the foods that parents like to give their children.
That when adding complementary foods to children, it is easy to hurt the health of the baby because of "eating incorrectly", come to see these practices, have you been recruited?
01
Baby just added complementary food mainly eggs
When the baby is about 6 months old, it is necessary to start adding complementary foods to supplement more nutrients to meet the needs of physical development.
Many parents, the traditional concept of parenting, is to give the baby egg yolk to supplement iron.
As everyone knows, such a practice has fallen into the pit.
Egg yolk can not be used as the first added complementary food, one is that the iron content in the egg yolk is not so much, and the absorption rate is very low; second, the first addition of egg yolk, it is easy to make the baby have allergic manifestations; third, many children do not like the fishy smell of eggs, which will increase the resistance to complementary foods.
At the beginning of the addition of complementary foods, it is necessary to eat iron-rich foods, from the perspective of iron supplementation, easy digestion and absorption, and reducing allergies, it is recommended to give the baby to eat the original rice noodles with iron first.
02
Eat whole eggs instead of yolks at the beginning
Many parents feel that "children should be raised roughly", so they also follow this principle in terms of eating complementary foods.
It is not so delicate to make complementary foods, and it is not careful to eat complementary foods. At the beginning of giving the baby complementary food, feed the whole boiled egg to the baby.
As a result, the child has some manifestations of allergies, and he does not know what is going on.
Egg protein for children, belongs to the "xeno protein", for the weak digestion of the baby, it is easy to appear allergies, so when you first start to add complementary food, egg addition must be correct.
For example, to eat boiled eggs, first give the child only egg yolks, and start with a small amount, 1/8-1/4-1/2 - the whole egg yolk, and give it to the baby step by step.
Little Tips: Just start eating eggs, closely observe the baby's digestion and absorption, the baby adapts well, and then gradually adds to an egg yolk, after the yolk is fully adapted, then add egg white.
If the baby has nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or rashes, take the baby to see the doctor in time, and stop adding eggs, wait for the baby to try again; if you confirm that you are allergic to eggs, do not give the baby eggs and other foods containing eggs.
03
If you think the eggs are more tender, your baby will like to eat them more
We adults eat eggs, prefer to eat loose eggs, fresh and tender taste good.
However, many parents will add complementary foods to their babies, thinking of "making the best food for the baby to eat", so they will give the baby a loose egg.
But this is not the right thing to do.
Eggs are easily contaminated by some bacteria, such as Salmonella, if made into incompletely cooked eggs for the baby to eat, there may be infection, so that the baby has diarrhea, stomach pain, fever, vomiting, etc., and even cause more serious consequences.
Eggs for the baby must be fully cooked, absolutely can not give the baby to eat half-cooked eggs, otherwise eat bad, it is really too late to regret.
04
Lay egg juice for your baby for various reasons
I remember when I was a child, my father always drank raw egg liquid, and at that time, he didn't understand it, and the family said that it was "very hot". Later, it was found that some elderly people would also give small babies raw egg liquid, and now that I think about it, it is actually very dangerous.
In addition, in Taiwan, there is a kind of "Sukiyaki" hot pot, which is eaten with meat dipped in egg liquid. Before the People's Daily news, a pair of parents gave 2-year-old twins to eat like this, and as a result, they were infected with Salmonella, and finally caused sepsis, with a high fever of 39 degrees for 4 consecutive days.
Therefore, to give children eggs, be sure to eat fully cooked, scientific feeding.
05
Eggs are hairy and cannot be eaten when sick
Many elderly people say that "eggs are hair, children can not eat when they are sick", so whether it is a cold or eczema, they will give children eggs.
Wrong, too!
Cold is to eat eggs, but only drink white porridge, nutrition is too simple, is not conducive to physical recovery.
Baby eczema, as long as it is not allergic to eggs, and the baby has an appetite, you can also eat, do it lightly.
In addition, there are many mothers who believe that native eggs (stupid eggs) are more expensive than ordinary eggs, and the yolk color is more yellow, does it mean that the nutritional content is better?
In fact, it is not, all eggs in the nutritional value of the difference is not much, can only say free-range eggs, because the usual amount of activity is larger, and is to eat bugs, wild vegetables, some trace elements in the body slightly more.
Therefore, do not blindly pursue native eggs, prefer to spend more money, but also to give children the most expensive eggs, ordinary eggs can also be.
Compared with "expensive to eat", in fact, "eating right" is more important, just like the previous few pits that are easy to drop by adding eggs, parents do not do it correctly, it will hurt the health of children.
But some parents may say: the first time to be a parent, no experience, talk about adding complementary food to their children is worried.
Don't worry, Jing Mama recommends a reliable food supplement book to parents - "What to Eat Supplementary Food Every Week".
The author of this book is Liu Changwei, a nutritionist at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, and it is also a book recommended by "National Grandmother" Zhang Silai.
The book not only introduces the dry goods knowledge in the stage of adding complementary foods, including the principles of adding complementary foods, misunderstandings, problems that are easy to occur in the process of addition, and tools for making complementary foods.
Moreover, according to the age of the month, week by week, many recipes are recommended, such as the 6th month, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks, what to eat, how much to eat.
There are also detailed recipe making processes, nutritional analysis of complementary foods, adding precautions, etc., which are detailed and practical.
Even if it is a small white parent, don't worry, you can completely follow the book to eat for the baby, simple, easy to operate, but also supplement nutrition, do not worry about falling into the pit, can be used from 6 months to 3 years old.
There are also some "special recipes" that parents care about in the book, such as the growing and tall recipes for calcium and iron supplementation, anti-constipation recipes, cough-stop recipes, etc., and the details are very intimate.
Novice parents who do not know how to make complementary foods and have no experience can start with a book, not much money, but they can solve the big problem of adding complementary foods, a book is used for three years, and the cost performance is very high.
When did your baby start eating eggs and how did you add them? What other questions do you have when adding complementary foods to your baby? All are welcome to discuss and share.
