It's going to be the New Year soon, please pay attention! Some of the snacks you usually like to eat are a huge threat to your child's health!
Every year, there are many tragedies caused by accidental eating by children and feeding by relatives. Parents should always be vigilant! Remind people around you: don't feed your children indiscriminately!

Xiao Si, who is more than two years old in Guangxi, turned out to be a smart and lively child, and after drinking more than one or two meters of wine under the coaxing of the second uncle, he fell asleep, and appeared vomiting, convulsions and other symptoms, and was rushed to the hospital.
The diagnosis result is that Xiao Si suffered brain damage and epilepsy due to alcohol poisoning, and mental, motor, and language development retardation, which is equivalent to the development level of a 1-year-old child.
Parents, do you know what foods you can't give to your children?
1
Alcohol and alcoholic foods
Although alcohol consumption in children may not cause poisoning, it is very harmful. Since children's livers are not yet mature, the liver's ability to detoxify alcohol is relatively poor.
Excessive alcohol consumption can damage the liver and cause serious illnesses such as coma. It is more harmful to babies under 3 years old, and in severe cases, it can also lead to brain damage or death.
2
Tea
Tea is not recommended for children under 6 years of age, as the caffeine in tea stimulates the central nervous system and affects sleep.
In addition, the tannic acid in tea leaves can cause the mucosa of the digestive tract to contract, affect appetite and nutrient absorption, and cause symptoms of indigestion. It is also easy to cause anemia.
3
honey
Honey is not suitable for babies under 1 year old. Because honey is not easily absorbed thoroughly, it usually contains Clostridium botulinum spores.
When a baby under 1 year old with an immature gut and immune system eats it, it multiplies in the gut and releases a neurotoxin. Causing botulinum toxin disease in young children, causing the baby's neuromuscular disorders, and even paralyzing the respiratory system, this is a fatal emergency.
4
jelly
Parents treat jelly as children's food, but often ignore the tips on jelly packaging: children under 3 years old and the elderly are not suitable for consumption.
Children often use jelly cups to suck jelly, and jelly is easily inhaled into the trachea, leading to suffocation. When swallowed, your baby may also choke.
5
Peanuts, melon seeds and other tree nuts
Infants have an underdeveloped swallowing reflex and are prone to choking when swallowing nuts. Many round nuts, such as macadamia nuts and pistachios, chew very slowly.
If you tease your baby while feeding, it's easy to choke these large particles and spherical nuts into your trachea, causing severe choking.
If rescue is not done properly, it may kill you in a few minutes or cause irreversible brain damage.
6
Tangyuan, Lantern, Rice Cake
On the fifteenth day of the first month, there is a custom of eating dumplings and eating tangyuan. Some regions also eat rice cakes during the New Year. But these foods are not suitable for babies.
On the one hand, these foods are difficult to digest and irritate the stomach; on the other hand, this food is very sticky and difficult to melt. Babies can easily choke and obstruct breathing.
Therefore, it is not recommended for children under 3 years old to consume glutinous rice foods such as rice cakes, lanterns and glutinous rice balls.
7
Pickled foods such as pickles
Pickled foods usually have a lot of salt added. The burden on your baby's kidneys is too heavy, which can lead to high blood pressure in the future.
At the same time, some pickled foods contain large amounts of nitrite, which is a carcinogen. If you consume too much at one time, it can be fatal.
8
seafood
Seafood such as crabs contains a lot of protein and high cholesterol. For people with allergies, they are prone to allergic reactions and even rubella lumps.
If your child has asthma, eating seafood can easily lead to an asthma recurrence. Even if children can eat without asthma and allergies, they should stop eating and not gluttonous.
All in all, the baby's diet is exquisite everywhere, and indiscriminate feeding is likely to adversely affect the baby's health.
Not only do you know this yourself, but you must also tell your family and friends not to feed your baby!
