We all know that there are many benefits to eating coarse grains, but whether to give them to eat, many parents will make mutterings, afraid that coarse grains are not good for the baby's digestive system.
In fact, for children, coarse grains are very beneficial. Whole grains must be chewed carefully before being swallowed when eaten, and chewing helps to remove food debris attached to the surface, between teeth and gums, massaging the gums to make the teeth stronger.
However, it should be noted that due to the imperfect digestive function of the baby within 2 years old, coarse grains eat more, especially whole grains, which will cause a burden on the digestive system, and there are more phytic acid and dietary fiber in coarse grains, which will cause certain interference with the absorption of minerals such as iron and calcium. Therefore, within 2 years of age, especially babies who eat vegetarian, it is not recommended to eat too many coarse grains. For older babies who have already enrolled in school, the intake of coarse grains can be appropriately increased, and the pattern can also be more. Babies with good gastrointestinal function can eat some coarse grains every day, and the proportion is controlled within 1/3 of the staple food.
Babies with weaker stomachs can choose millet, oats, black rice and other relatively easy to digest coarse grains, do soft and rotten, eat once every other day, eat three or four times a week. In addition, after eating coarse grain rice, we must give your child more water to avoid constipation.
