As a parent, the most concerned is the healthy growth of the child, but the development characteristics of the child at each stage are different, and the focus is also different. In order to allow children to grow up healthily, the first method that many parents think of is: supplementation, what they feel is nutritious to give their children what to eat, nutrition to ensure that good children can develop well, but sometimes good intentions may also do bad things.
Recently, such an incident occurred in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. A grandmother felt that edamame was nutritious, in order to enhance nutrition, she added edamame to the porridge of her 2-year-old grandson, and did not expect to eat the little grandson into the hospital.
According to the child's mother, in order to enhance the child's nutrition, the grandmother added edamame beans when feeding the child porridge, and fed it to the child with the porridge. I didn't expect that soon after eating, the child had symptoms of breathing difficulties and suffocation, so the family rushed the child to the hospital for treatment.
After the examination of the hospital, the child's right bronchi has a foreign body, and the accidentally ingested edamame almost completely blocks the child's right bronchi, leaving no gap. The child's right lung can hardly breathe, and can only rely on the left lung to breathe, which is likely to lead to respiratory failure and hypoxemia in the child, which will cause secondary infections to endanger life.
The situation was urgent, and the doctor decided to immediately operate on the child to remove the foreign body. Fortunately, after the operation, the edamame in the child's trachea was removed, and the child has now turned the corner. Doctors remind: When giving children edamame and nuts, prevent tracheal blockage.
After watching the news, netizens have pinched a handful of sweat for this child: "Parents must learn first aid methods", "two-year-old children should be able to eat edamame, but pay attention to the method, can not be mixed in porridge for children to eat", "parents feed children nuts, beans must pay attention to things, really dangerous."
Probably like this grandmother, many parents usually like to give their children beans, nuts food, one to feel that the nutritional value of these foods is high, and the other is to exercise the child's chewing ability, which helps the baby's oral development.
As everyone knows, exercising children's chewing ability is also exquisite, and if you do not pay attention, it is likely to occur unexpectedly. I saw a news before, a bao mother from Sangzhi County, Zhangjiajie, saw that the 11-month-old baby has grown eight or nine teeth, and wants to exercise the baby's chewing ability, so she feeds the baby peanuts.
As a result, the peanuts are stuck in the baby's bronchi, causing the baby to suffocate, almost life-threatening, fortunately sent to the hospital in time, after surgery to remove the peanuts before the baby is out of danger.
Parents' concern for the baby's growth and development is understandable, but it is still necessary to pay attention to the way and safety.
Do parents need to cultivate their baby's chewing ability, and when will it be cultivated?
In fact, when the baby can make the action of biting up and down, it means that the baby has the initial chewing ability, which requires further training by parents to help the baby's chewing ability to get better development. So how do you do that?
6 months:
When the baby begins to add complementary foods at 6 months, it is generally possible to start chewing training, and parents can first give the baby a paste-like or pureed food, such as fruit puree, vegetable puree, etc., so that the baby can carry out preliminary chewing training.
7-9 months:
Most babies at this stage have begun to teeth, chewing ability and hand-eye coordination ability are also developing rapidly, and the baby's desire to eat will also be strengthened. Parents can prepare a variety of complementary foods for the baby, provide some foods that need to be chewed, such as pumpkin blocks, potato blocks, etc., so that the baby can eat independently, which can exercise the ability to chew and cultivate the child's hand-eye coordination ability.
10-12 months:
After 10 months, the baby's chewing ability develops rapidly, and the complementary food gradually tends to become adult, at this time, the characteristics of the baby's food should also be changed, and it can transition from small particles of mud-like food to large particles of crumbs.
Of course, some of the softer and easier to chew foods for adults can also be appropriately selected. Such as cooked vegetables and soft, ripe fruits.
After 1 year of age:
After the baby is 1 year old, the chewing ability gradually matures, and it is basically possible to accept foods with similar traits to adults' three meals.
At this time, the focus of chewing training also transitions from the softness and hardness of food to the diversification of food types and forms, parents can provide the baby with some long strips of fruit, cooked vegetable segments or slightly hard biscuits, and gradually let the baby start to eat solid food.
In addition, parents can also prepare tableware and waterproof bibs exclusive to the baby for the baby, so that the baby can try to eat more on his own, decide what to eat, how much to eat, how to eat, the speed of eating, etc.
Through this process, let the baby gradually learn the key points of chewing and even be able to eat independently, but parents should pay attention to the diet given to the baby or lighter, and do a good demonstration, so that the baby understands that the food should be crushed and swallowed.
