I remember when I was a child, every time my mother made food, I would say how there was so little. Mom will laugh and say, you guys are big eyes and small belly, you look at it now and feel less, and when you eat it, you will know a lot, and it will eat you!
Mothers often have such a situation when feeding their children complementary foods, and mothers look at how children eat so little, in fact, the child's stomach has been enlarged, and it has been overfeed.
Once the child is overfeed, it is not conducive to the child's growth and development and IQ.
If the child's digestion ability is relatively strong, the mother gives the child too much to eat, and the intake of calorie fat is too much, which can easily lead to the child's obesity. Once the child is obese, his ability to move will decline, and the ability to move will decline, and the child's brain will get less stimulation, which will also make the child's IQ a few steps behind others.
If the child's digestive ability is relatively weak, the mother gives the child too much to eat, which can easily lead to the child's accumulation of food, but the more he eats, the thinner he gets, the child is malnourished, and the development of the natural brain will also be adversely affected.
When the mother is breastfeeding, because the child drinks breast milk is actually a very laborious thing, we found that the child will be tired and sweaty when drinking breast milk, so generally when he is full, he is not willing to spend any more effort to eat, and when adding complementary food, the mother is more likely to overfeed!
When the mother feeds complementary food, when the child sends 5 signals, the re-feeding is overfeed
Signal 1: Push away with your hand
When the mother takes a spoon to feed the child complementary food, the child pushes the spoon away with his hand, indicating that the child does not want to eat because he is full.
Signal 2: Knock the bowl over
Some children are more grumpy, seeing that they have eaten, there are so many meals in the bowl, simply push the bowl over with a small hand, so that you don't have to eat.
Signal 3: Eat and spit out
If the child does not like to eat, this food is too easy to eat and vomit, there is another situation is that the child is full, the mother is still feeding, the child does not want to eat will vomit, even if it is fed will spit out.
Signal 4: Shut your mouth tightly
The child must open his mouth to eat, and if he is full and his mother is still feeding, some children are very smart, tightly closing their mouths and refusing to open their mouths.
Signal 5: Turn your head away
Twisting the head away actually means that the child shakes his head and does not want to eat, but also twists his mouth to the side, so that the mother cannot feed.
The above 5 signals represent that the child has eaten enough, if the mother is fed again, it is easy to cause overfeeding, which is not conducive to the development of the child's brain, of course, if the child has sent 5 signals, the mother is still feeding without hesitation, the child is likely to use the killer skill, that is, crying. As soon as the child cries, the mother begins to coax the child, and naturally forgets to feed the child!
The amount of supplementary food for children, how to be reasonable, the mother should be clear, do not feed the child
★At the beginning of 6 months, it slowly increased from one bite to two mouthfuls
When the child first began to eat rice cereal, he also rushed about 5 grams of rice paste to the child to eat two or three bites, if the child has no allergies, and then slowly increase the amount, but in the child's 6 months, it is best not to eat more than 25 grams of rice paste each time.
Your child will have at least 800 ml of milk per day.
★Two meals daily for 7 months
Children eat 1 to 2 meals a day, first of all, to ensure that the child's 800 ml milk, other complementary foods can eat egg yolk puree or sweet potato puree, apple puree, pork liver puree and other complementary foods.
★The amount of complementary foods in 8 to 9 months is slightly more
At this time, the child eats two meals of complementary food every day, but the solid food in the supplementary food should be more, you can eat some granular food, and the child can also eat a small bowl of complementary food at each meal, but it is also necessary to ensure the amount of milk of 800 ml per day.
★Three times a day for 10 to 12 months
After the child reaches 10 months, the amount of complementary food slowly increases, and the amount of milk can be slightly reduced, such as 700 ml or 600 ml, of course, if the child's complementary food is not very good, the amount of milk can still be maintained at 800 ml.
Add complementary food to the child first to ensure the amount of milk of the child, in the case of ensuring the amount of milk to add complementary food to the child, the child has known after 6 months is full or hungry, so the child can eat the child to eat, do not eat hard.
