Introduction: The baby is still eating paste when he is one year old? It will affect your baby's ability to chew and teach you the right way
Taking care of the baby is not an easy task, especially when it is possible to add complementary foods, various troubles ensued, I believe that many mothers are experiencing, and they all say that it is too difficult to let the baby eat complementary foods well.
When adding complementary foods, some parents are afraid that the baby is not easy to accept, they will make all the ingredients into a paste for the baby to eat, often after doing so, the baby is easy to accept, parents also save a lot of trouble, do not need to spend time to think about how to do complementary food, but is it really good to do so?
It seems that this method is very good, in fact, it is a kind of harm to the baby, if you give the baby only mushy for a long time, it will seriously affect the baby's chewing ability.
A relative's child, now six years old is not very good at eating, the reason is that the child's chewing ability is very poor, every time you eat a bite half a day to chew, a meal down to take a long time, and poor chewing ability caused him not to be interested in eating, every time he did a meal that he loved to eat, he was not interested in eating a few bites, because he did not eat well, the child's height lagged behind his peers, and his teeth also appeared with double rows of teeth, ready to go to the hospital for tooth extraction.
This situation makes relatives very distressed, and now it is too late to turn back and correct it, she often says that she blames herself for being too lazy to do complementary food, and now she can only change the pattern to let the children eat better, hoping that it can be made up.
As you can see from this example, poor chewing ability has a very big impact on children!
Under normal circumstances, after the baby grows to one year old, basically you can crush or chew the food and swallow it, if the baby will not do this after the age of one, it means that starting from eating complementary foods, this ability has not been well cultivated, resulting in poor chewing ability, then if your baby is still relatively small, don't do it wrong again.
Baby one year old still eating paste? It will affect your baby's ability to chew, teach you the right way, come and see.
The correct approach is that when the baby grows to about eight months, parents will have to turn the paste-like complementary food into a granular complementary food, and can no longer continue to add the paste-like complementary food, so that the baby's chewing ability can be effectively exercised.
Some parents may say that the baby does not have many teeth at about eight months and how to chew food? Many babies are still eating paste when they are more than one year old, and parents are mostly out of this consideration, afraid that the baby will not chew badly, in fact, it is wrong to think so. When giving the baby the right granular food, the baby will use the tongue and gums to crush the food and complete the chewing process, and when this action exercise is skilled, the baby's teeth will sprout some more, and the chewing ability will also be improved.
How?
First of all, the baby's complementary food should be gradually changed, not too large a span, such as the baby is still eating paste on the previous meal, and feeding a large piece of food at the next meal, which is definitely not OK. To follow from thin to thick, from paste to granular, and then into semi-solid, and then into solid, this rule to do complementary food, more beneficial to the baby's growth, the baby is more receptive, chewing ability will be better and better.
Secondly, try to give the baby the opportunity to eat by himself, do not always take the initiative to feed, if you do this, slowly the baby will lose interest in food, feed to eat, do not feed do not eat, the exercise chewing ability has an impact. And when parents feed, do not know what kind of food in the baby's mouth is eaten, will only be fed at intervals, feeding is easy to feed fast, so that the baby in order to eat the next bite of rice, the last bite will be quickly swallowed, then the chewing ability is difficult to get exercise.
Again to provide the baby with some food that can be held in the hand, such as blanched broccoli, the baby holds in the hand and bites to eat, so that you can exercise the ability to chew, if you only give the baby to eat paste, it will be difficult to bite anything in the future, and you can only eat particularly soft food.
Finally, parents should have enough patience, the baby eats something is definitely much slower than adults, then in the process of eating the baby, do not bother, do not urge, do not reprimand, to give the baby time to chew things, if the parents show impatience every time, especially anxious, the baby is easy to swallow food directly, then the chewing ability can not be exercised, so the parent's approach is very important.
Remember the above practices, it is helpful for your baby's chewing ability, do you understand? If there is still time to correct it, as soon as possible, don't make a mistake again.
