At home, see if these things happen to you or to yourself: when eating, adults feed children with chopsticks, children are afraid of not being able to chew, adults chew and feed; they eat delicious things and just take a bite and give them to children; this child is so cute, kissing her little face and fat little hands... Every day, "expressions of parental and friendly love" actually have certain risks.
Ever heard of "kissing sickness"? Epstein-Barr virus is a herpes virus. Infection can cause infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as "kissing disease." The data shows that 90% of adults have antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus and usually do not get sick. However, when it is transmitted through saliva to babies with weakened immune systems, they begin to behave like demons.
What behaviors can spread EBV? For example, kissing the baby's face, kissing the little hands, etc. The initial manifestations of epstein-barred virus are so similar to colds. If left untreated, pneumonia, myocarditis, and liver failure may also occur.
Several people are not allowed to kiss babies, including people with blisters in herpes, people with heavy makeup, people with diarrhea, colds, coughs and fevers, oral diseases such as periodontal disease and people with Helicobacter pylori infection.
Here, we would like to focus on the "Helicobacter pylori" that is most likely to be transmitted from adults to infants. It is a notorious carcinogen that can easily cause chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and even stomach cancer. Helicobacter pylori is highly contagious, and many patients present with asymptomatic or mild symptoms that are difficult to detect and delay treatment.
There are news reports. When parents chew and feed their children after an infection, stomach bleeding occurs, and the bacteria behind it is Helicobacter pylori. There are also behaviors that can cause your baby to become infected. For example, feed your child with your own chopsticks, or cool your child's meals by blowing wind through your mouth.
In daily life, we should pay attention to dividing meals, using public chopsticks, preparing independent tableware for the baby, regularly disinfecting the tableware and cups at high temperatures, adults and children should not forget to wash their hands before and after meals, and parents should not refuse to feed their children food.
Moms seize the golden age of feeding their babies (8 months to 1 year old), choose good utensils, baby seats and bibs, try to change the food pattern, change the taste, let the baby eat it himself, I believe it will be better!
