Wen | Jingma
Once Jing Mama went out to talk to the mothers about the course added by complementary foods, after the lecture, Wenwen's mother was very excited and said, Why didn't I listen to you talk about this class earlier? If I had listened to your lesson earlier, my child would not have suffered such a great sin!
It turned out that when Wenwen's mother first added complementary food to her child, she once hit her own fruit and vegetable juice, which had tomatoes, apples, bananas, and kiwi fruits.
Wenwen's mother felt that the child had begun to eat rice paste, and there was no allergy, plus the child had recently been a little constipated, so she gave some fruit and vegetable juice to the child to eat, and the child ate very much, she gave the child a small bowl.
As a result, in less than two hours, the child began to diarrhea, pulling every ten minutes, until the child's urine became less.
At this time, Wenwen's mother quickly took the child to the hospital, and when she arrived at the hospital, the doctor learned that the child added complementary food and began to eat a variety of fruit and vegetable juices, and told the mother that the child just started to add complementary food, and it is easy for you to eat it to the child, like kiwi fruit, some children are more prone to allergies!
Because the child pulled more seriously, the whole week in the hospital, the milk did not have to drink, the original child 6 months to do physical examination, the weight has been 16 pounds, when hospitalized said that the child is missing two pounds of meat, only 14 pounds, and then the child's intestines have been relatively weak!
Therefore, when parents add complementary foods to their children, if they do not pay attention to making mistakes, it is easy to hurt their children's gastrointestinal tract.
Add 7 common misunderstandings of complementary foods, parents quickly check themselves, and quickly correct the mistakes
Myth 1: Add salt to your child's complementary foods
The main ingredient of salt is sodium chloride, which children need very little before the age of one, and can be satisfied through daily milk, rice cereal and natural foods.
If you add salt to the child's food, it will increase the burden on the child's kidneys and even affect the health of the child's respiratory tract. Because too much salt will consume the secretions of the child's respiratory tract, the child is more likely to catch a cold, and it is not conducive to the health of the child's kidneys.
Myth 2: Add sugar to your child's complementary food
The World Health Organization's "Sugar Restriction Order" advises manufacturers of children's foods not to add sugar to the food of children before the age of three.
That's because sugar has no benefits for the child's growth and development, it will hurt the child's teeth, it will cause the child to become fat, and it is not conducive to the child's growth.
Therefore, when children add complementary foods, in addition to not adding salt, it is not recommended to add sugar, for example, when making tomato scrambled eggs for children, you can choose some less sour tomatoes to scramble eggs, rather than adding sugar to eliminate the sour taste of tomatoes.
Myth 3: Give your child homemade rice cereal
When children add complementary foods, an important purpose is to supplement iron for children.
The child will ingest a large amount of iron from the mother's body through the umbilical cord in the third trimester of pregnancy, which can only meet the needs of the child's growth and development at about 5 months, and after the child reaches 6 months and enters 7 months, the iron in the body is digested, and iron must be supplemented from food.
Therefore, when children add complementary foods, there is an important purpose to supplement iron, iron can promote the development of children's brains, but also can enhance children's immunity.
The rice noodles sold on the market are all iron-rich rice noodles and iron-fortified rice noodles, and it is not recommended that parents grind rice noodles to make rice paste for their children.
Myth 4: Give your child an adult meal prematurely
Adults' rice tastes heavier and the granular form is larger.
We recommend that children should make complementary foods separately before the age of three, because children's complementary foods are relatively light and the particles are relatively small, which is conducive to the digestion of the child's gastrointestinal tract.
If you give the child food too early, it will increase the burden of the child's digestion, affect the child's digestive ability, and cause the child to be malnourished.
Myth 5: Give your child rice cereal in a bottle
The bottle frees the hands of parents, but the bottle is only used to hold milk powder rather than rice paste, if the child has begun to eat complementary food to eat rice paste, parents still use the bottle to eat for the child, it is easy to hurt the child's teeth, and is not conducive to the formation of the child's chewing ability.
We recommend that parents can buy some chewing gum when feeding their children complementary foods, chew gum themselves, and feed their children to eat complementary foods while feeding them, which is conducive to children learning to eat complementary foods by chewing according to the parents' actions.
Myth 6: Add too much to your child's complementary food at one time
The principle of adding complementary foods for children is from less to more, from one to many.
Just like the mother of the previous text, if you add several kinds to the child at a time when adding complementary foods to the child, in case the child is allergic to one of the foods, it is easy to cause diarrhea in the child, and even seriously cause laryngeal edema.
So we are adding new complementary foods to children, which should be added one by one, and they are small to diverse.
Myth 7: Give your child soft and rotten food for a long time
The child has just added complementary food to eat soft and rotten rice paste at 6 months, but at 7 months, the child can eat some soft porridge, at 8 months, he can eat some soft rice, and when the child is about 10 months old, he can give the child some granular food.
These changes in food traits can slowly exercise the child's chewing ability, but also conducive to the exercise of the child's oral muscles, the child's chewing ability, the chewing muscles of the oral cavity to be exercised, help the child to pronounce more clearly in the future, but also pay attention to the health of the child's teeth.
Therefore, when children add complementary foods, parents must avoid the above 7 misunderstandings, otherwise the pit baby is not shallow.
