"The baby eats one bite, eats another bite", when walking in the community, it is often seen that there are grandmothers chasing the child with a rice bowl to feed the child.
Yiming is a two-year-old child, who drank milk powder and ate complementary foods after he started weaning at 8 months, because his parents had to go to work, and he usually brought it with his grandmother.
And the grandmother with the child is indeed put in the hand for fear of falling, in the mouth afraid of melting, very much love for their grandson Yiming.
But Grandma changed her pattern every day to make all kinds of delicious food for Yiming, and Grandma was worried that he wouldn't eat it himself, so she always fed it.
Children do not want to eat to take a toy to coax the child, or take the child away from the mobile phone to watch cartoons, while watching and eating, and later also take the child to the community, let the child play in front with the toy, the grandmother while chasing the back to feed.
However, Yiming's growth and development has always been unsatisfactory, and his two-year-old height is only 83 centimeters and his weight is only 21 kilograms, which is thinner than children of the same age and shorter than children of the same age.
Once when my grandmother was feeding in the community, it was just a weekend, and my mother was resting at home, so she went to the community to find a sound, and just happened to meet a child nutritionist in the community and chatted about the day.
When chatting, the nutritionist knew that Yiming was already two years old, but he only looked like a one-year-old child.
Later, the nutritionist told his mother that your child is so thin, it is estimated that you are always chasing and feeding, which will make the child feel that eating is not his task, and the child is easy to be picky and anorexia.
And the child while walking while feeding, easy to lead to indigestion, such a child does not eat much, and will be thinner.
Yiming's mother knew that the original grandmother's blind and diligent feeding method had harmed the child.
Parents are too diligent in chasing and coaxing to feed their children, but they will make the children feel that eating is a painful thing, but the children are easy to picky and anorexia.
And while watching TV or walking while eating, the blood of the child's whole body will be supplied to the brain, resulting in a decrease in the blood in the gastrointestinal tract, the ability to digest food will naturally decrease, the child's food cannot be digested, and it is to eat and play, which will cause the child to become thinner and thinner.
It is recommended that parents let their children learn to eat on their own earlier, which is more conducive to their children's health!
When does your child start eating on their own? Take a look at the advice of authoritative experts
British medical institutions recommend that after children start to add complementary foods from 6 months, they should slowly transition from muddy food to blocky food, and the blocky food should be held by the child to eat, exercising the child's ability to eat independently!
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that when the baby can sit up independently, he can give some finger food for the child to eat, generally when the child is about 8 months old, let the child eat independently.
It is recommended that parents try to give their children some finger food when their children are 6 to 8 months old, so that children can slowly learn to eat independently. Don't be late 10 months at the latest to let your child eat on their own.
How to better let children learn to eat independently? These key points should be clear to parents
★ Choose the right complementary food for your child
For example, make some small steamed buns or noodles for children, or apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, potatoes, bread, pancakes, or meat without bones, these lumpy foods can be taken, and it is better for children to hold them in their hands and learn to eat independently.
After all, the child's fine motor development is not perfect, let the child take the food directly by himself, it is easier to send it to his mouth, and it is also helpful to exercise the child's fine movements.
★ Parents learn to guide
Parents are advised to eat at the same table as their children, children sit at the children's table, and adults also sit on the dining bench to eat together.
All the behavior of the child is imitated and learned, he sees his mother taking something to pick up the food and put it in the mouth to chew when eating, and the child will also learn to bring the food in his hand to the mouth and start chewing.
★ Develop good eating habits
For example, wash your child's hands before each meal, and let your child sit at his own exclusive table every time he eats!
Do not watch TV when eating, do not play mobile phones, each meal time is best controlled within half an hour, which can help children develop good habits of eating.
★ Bring in cutlery when appropriate
The child grabs the finger food around 8 months, and when the child is 10 months or about one year old, and his fine movements are getting more and more perfect, you can consider giving the child a tableware to eat.
Giving children to learn to eat independently as soon as possible can make children's fingers more flexible, help the development of children's brains, and when eating independently, they can also make children fall in love with the sport of eating, so as to avoid picky eating and anorexia.
Therefore, after more than 10 months, parents should not feed food, and let their children learn to eat on their own!
