Newborn babies are very fragile, need the care of parents, not all parents know how to take care of their children, in the process of care there will be mistakes, will make the baby hurt, therefore, bao dad and mother should pay attention to, timely correction of their improper care methods.
Diet is a point that parents need to pay attention to, many parents in the preparation of food for the baby, do not take into account the age of the baby, will prepare some adult diet.
In their view, these diets have many nutrients, high nutrient content, there is no problem in giving the baby to eat, many people of the older generation will think that the baby can eat "adult meals" at the age of two, but the younger the baby, the more the body is not fully developed, and the gastrointestinal function is not yet perfect.
Such as braised meat, crucian carp soup and other foods, in the eyes of adults is a delicacy, is a supplement, this type of food protein content is relatively high, even higher than the content of milk powder, so many elderly people use meat to replace milk powder to feed the baby, but these things in the calories are also high, fat content is also high, the baby can not absorb, but also easy to gain weight.
Some elderly people will feed the baby to bubble rice, they will soak the milk powder in the rice for the baby to eat, which is also not right, the rice itself is a kind of food that is easy to hurt the stomach, the baby's stomach is not yet fully developed, more vulnerable.
The so-called "adult meal" is not to eat the sooner the better, this is the adult diet, for the baby or to the age to eat, if the violation of the baby's development law, will only make the baby injured.
What harm does eating "adult meals" do to your baby?
1. Affect the baby's physical development
The baby's growth process health is always the first, the diet provided by the parents should be based on health, the standard of health is the baby's physical growth law, not the parents' self-righteousness or experience.
Giving the baby an adult's diet too early will affect the baby's physical development, just take the salt content in the adult diet, for most adults, the diet without salt will be difficult to swallow.
However, the salt content in the adult diet is excessive for the baby, and excessive intake will affect the baby's absorption of calcium, and finally make the growth of the bones lack nutrients, resulting in the baby's development rate slowing down, so that the baby's vital signs are affected.
In addition, a large number of condiments added to the adult diet can easily increase the burden on the baby's stomach and intestines, affecting kidney health.
2, let the baby develop a bad habit of picky eating
Picky eating has always been a bad habit for parents, but when parents blame their babies, they should reflect on whether the diet they give to their babies is the culprit that causes them to be picky eaters. The first foods your baby is exposed to are breast milk and formula, which are free of condiments and have no other excess flavors.
If you let the baby contact the adult diet prematurely, let the baby perceive the taste in advance, the baby will be picky and will only like to eat a taste, or a food. In the long run, the baby is prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the baby only consumes a single nutrient, which will make the baby malnourished and affect the baby's physical development.
3. It is not conducive to the oral safety of the baby
Premature contact with the diet of adults, will lead to the baby's intake of salt or sugar exceeding the standard, which is easy to stimulate the baby's oral mucosa, corrodation of the baby's teeth, the appearance of caries symptoms, if not corrected in time, the baby's teeth can not grow healthily, affecting nutritional intake, and finally there will be symptoms of stunted development.
When will the baby be able to eat the "adult meal"?
First of all, we must look at the baby's gastrointestinal digestion ability, generally at the age of four, the baby's digestive system will develop completely, before this, parents should do a good job of the baby's diet planning and regulation.
In addition, it is also necessary to observe the baby's chewing ability, that is, the development of teeth, the baby's chewing ability can start exercising from the baby's birth six months, and some hard foods can be added to the baby's complementary food. When the baby's gastrointestinal digestion ability and chewing ability are up to standard, it is more appropriate to give the baby "adult meal".
Therefore, in the baby's diet management, parents must be hands-on, ask more doctors and professionals for advice, do not over-believe in experience, and conform to the baby's growth rules.
