Introduction: How old can children eat adult meals? In addition to knowing this, there are three more aspects to pay attention to
After having a child, I truly realize that it is not easy to raise a child, and all aspects must be considered carefully, and once it is done wrong, it will hurt the child's health. For example, in terms of children's eating, many people can't figure out how old children can eat adult meals? Eating early can easily cause indigestion and damage to the spleen and stomach.
Often see this situation, children less than one year old to hold fried chicken legs to nibble, when parents see the child eating delicious, they feel that they can give the child to eat adult meals, and then no longer cook alone, let the children eat with adults every day, I don't know if you have done this?
Does it mean that when a child becomes interested in adult meals, it means that children can eat adult meals?
The answer is no, because the child can sit up and slowly adapt to the complementary food, see the adult's food will be interested, always eye-catching, and even reach out to grab, and the child is not one year old, this age of children, his chewing ability is not up to standard, if you eat the adult's food, it is difficult to chew, then it will be difficult to digest after swallowing, and children less than one year old can not eat salt, if you often eat too salty food, it will increase the burden on the child's body, causing harm.
Therefore, when a child becomes interested in adult meals, he cannot be given adult meals immediately.
So when exactly can I give my child an adult meal? In terms of age, after the age of 1, you can slowly try to eat adult food, but in addition to knowing this, you should pay more attention to three aspects.
The first is to see how the child's chewing ability is
Adult meals are mostly relatively hard, if the child eats for half a day and chews it, or it is difficult to swallow, in this case, you can not rush to feed the adult meal, only wait until the child's chewing ability is particularly good, and then consider eating adult meals. Before eating adult meals, parents should slowly change the hardness of meals when cooking alone, from soft to hard, which can gradually exercise children's chewing ability and swallowing ability, and lay a good foundation for eating adult meals in the future.
In fact, it is to see if adult meals are suitable for children
The child's complementary food has no salt, no additives, almost all of them are original ingredients, very light, so suddenly let the child contact adult meals, he will be difficult to accept, there will be picky anorexia situation. If the adult meal is very salty, very oily, very sweet, and belongs to the heavy taste of the meal, it is not suitable for children to eat. If you want your child to eat adult meals, you can only accommodate your children and do a very light job, otherwise it is not recommended to give your children too early.
Finally, it is necessary to see if the child can eat independently
Adult rice almost have to use chopsticks clip, if it is difficult to operate with a spoon, then too early to eat adult meals, children will be difficult to adapt, will lose interest in eating, if in order to let children use spoons, often make soup to make rice, children eat more will cause spleen and stomach discomfort. And wait until the child grows up and can eat independently, and it is better to eat adult meals at this time.
If you plan to give your child adult meals, these points should be done well.
1, cook more consideration for children, do not let children adapt to adults, if you do this children will be difficult to quickly accept adult meals. Do more light meals, should be stir-fried, steamed, stewed, less fried, spicy and other meals.
2, let the child eat adult meal, adults are best not to take the initiative to speak, let the child know that you can not speak when eating, otherwise the adults will start, the child's thinking will be deviated, it is difficult to eat seriously.
3, when the child eats adult meals, may eat slower, or there are problems such as falling off the meal, at this time the parents must not show a fierce look, should be regarded as not seen, so that the child can focus on eating, otherwise suddenly interrupt him, the child is difficult to continue to eat, or frightened, he will be disgusted by eating, whenever it comes to eating, it will be in a bad mood, a vicious circle.
