Chun Chun is a novice mother, the child just gave birth began to insist on exclusive breastfeeding, in the time of breastfeeding Chun Chun felt that it is not difficult to take the child, because the child is hungry to drink breast milk directly, the child's sleep and bowel movements are also quite normal, but until the child 6 months began to add complementary food, she realized that it is not easy to take the child!
Chun Chun bought rice noodles for the child, ate twice, the child began to constipation, originally pulled twice a day to become two days to pull once, and the stool is very dry, when the son cries hoarsely, so that Chun Chun is very distressed, can only temporarily stop adding complementary food to the child, but the child does not eat complementary food, to drink 8 times or even 10 times a day of milk is not enough to drink the same.
Chun Chun also thought it was a problem with rice noodles, so he changed a brand of rice noodles, still a child to eat children on constipation, and later heard that eating bananas can alleviate the child's constipation, Spring Spring bought a few bananas when buying vegetables, came back to feed the child 1/5, the child is quite fond of eating, but after eating bananas, constipation not only did not alleviate, it seems to be more serious!
Spring and spring is in a hurry, why is it so difficult for children to add complementary foods?
Later, when Chunchun took her son to go to child care, the child care doctor suggested that Chunchun take the child to hang up a nutrition department number and consult in detail.
Nutritionist: The child is constipated with rice paste, and the parents adjust it like this
★ Dilute the rice paste
Whether it is breast milk or milk powder, more than 88% of the child's gastrointestinal tract is water, and the water content is relatively high. Therefore, the child's gastrointestinal habits digest this relatively thin food, adding rice cereal to the child, some parents are worried that the child is not full, so they give the child the rice paste to wash very thick, in fact, this is not conducive to the child's digestion.
The child's stool must have water to expand, in order to stimulate the peristalsis of the intestinal wall, promote the discharge of stool, if the rice paste eaten by the child is too little water, too viscous, the stool is not enough water is easy to dry, and it is easy to drain constipation when it is dry.
So just start to wash the child's rice paste slightly thinner, the child just added complementary food is to add half a spoon or a spoonful of rice paste to put water to flush, the spoon to load the rice paste, tilt the spoon rice paste can flow down, is a relatively thin state for the child to drink, slowly step by step to add rice paste, so that the trait becomes a little thicker, there is a gradual process.
★ Eating bananas to relieve constipation is a rumor
The bananas we can buy on the market now are generally picked raw on the tree to ripen, and there is oleic acid, which can converge on the intestinal wall, so constipation eating bananas is actually not effective, but will lead to constipation becomes more serious.
There is not much dietary fiber in the banana, and the effect of relieving constipation is very limited, so it is not recommended that parents eat bananas for their children to relieve constipation.
★ Feed your child plenty of water
The child is exclusively breastfed until 6 months and does not need to be fed water, but after adding complementary foods to the child, it is necessary to start drinking water for the child, and if the child is constipated, the amount of water to drink may be slightly more.
★ Dragon fruit, prunes relieve constipation more effectively
If the child is not allergic to rice noodles, you can consider adding some other foods to the child, if the child is prone to constipation after adding complementary foods, it is recommended that you can give the child some dragon fruit or prune, the effect of relieving constipation will be better, because their dietary fiber will be relatively high.
★ Keep your child lying on your stomach
Children can sit steadily to 6 months, to 7 months can learn to climb, if the child is constipated, let the child lie on the bed to move, the body will also stimulate the child's stomach when moving, stimulate the child's intestines, help to help the child relieve constipation.
After listening to the advice of the nutritionist, Chunchun went home to dilute the rice paste and occasionally gave the child some dragon fruit, and sure enough, the child's constipation was greatly alleviated.
So the child to add complementary food or more exquisite, children in 6 to 7 months when eating rice cereal, to the child 8 to 9 months to consider giving the child a soft meal or noodles and other kinds of food, if you eat wrong, it is easy to cause constipation, even diarrhea, serious and even cause allergies.
Therefore, when parents add complementary foods to their children, whether it is the choice of food traits, or the choice of food types, the way of cooking is very important, parents do a good job for children, children love to eat, eat can also grow taller and healthier, because adding complementary foods is a very important process for children's growth and development.
