The baby is sick again, this month has been the third time to get sick, originally thought that it was a seasonal change, the temperature difference is caused by a large change, but did not expect that it is a problem with the baby's complementary food.
In order to work, Bao Mom Xiaoyun weaned the baby after 6 months, and then handed the baby over to the mother-in-law to take care of. But what Bao Mama Xiaoyun did not expect was that the mother-in-law took care of the baby for more than a month, and the baby was actually sick three times. At first, I thought that the recent temperature difference was large, which led to the baby's easy illness, but I did not expect that it was related to the complementary food that the mother-in-law gave the baby to eat.
After the baby was sick many times, Bao Ma Xiaoyun attracted attention, after the careful observation of Bao Ma Xiao Yun found that the problem may lie in the baby's complementary food, BMW Xiao Yun will be his observation and the doctor for an in-depth exchange, Bao Ma Xiao Yun's point of view has once again been confirmed.
After the baby is weaned, the baby's diet life is taken care of by the mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law according to past experience, starting from rice soup to the baby to add complementary food, every day is often in the baby to drink rice soup, think that this is conducive to the baby's digestion and absorption.
The mother-in-law feeds the baby every time, and the baby eats very happily at the beginning. However, long-term let the baby drink rice soup, which leads to the problem of malnutrition in the baby, and the rice soup fed to the baby on weekdays is also too full, affecting the baby's gastrointestinal health.
Although Bao Mama Xiaoyun found that the mother-in-law often fed the baby rice soup this problem, although she also told the mother-in-law about this problem, but due to the stubbornness of the old man, she thought that she had fed the child in this way before, there was no problem, how could there be a problem now.
Although on the surface the mother-in-law heard the suggestion of BMW Xiaoyun, at the bottom she still went her own way and continued to feed the baby rice soup. The mother-in-law also feels that this can save a lot of milk powder money.
In addition, the baby will also be fed some milk powder on weekdays, but the baby also has problems feeding the baby milk powder. Mother-in-law has a habit, in fact, the older generation has such a habit, that is, thrift and thrift. The same is true when the mother-in-law feeds the baby milk powder, after each feeding the baby milk powder, the milk powder that the baby has not drunk will still be kept, and when the baby wants to drink, it will be warmed up for the baby to drink.
But what the mother-in-law does not know is that the milk powder after brewing has a shelf life, and generally after 2 hours, it can no longer be given to the baby to drink. Otherwise, it is easy to breed bacteria, affect the baby's gastrointestinal health, and increase the chance of the baby's life.
But the mother-in-law does not know that sometimes the milk powder after three or four hours is still hot for the baby to drink, and the bottle has not been cleaned in time, and each cleaning bottle is not in place, which is easy to lead to the breeding of bacteria!
Due to the above reasons, in just over a month, the baby has been sick many times in a row.
When adding complementary foods to your baby, what are the problems with often feeding rice soup?
In the eyes of many elderly people, rice soup is easy to digest, babies are easy to swallow, and they also think that rice soup is rich in nutrients. But in fact, after scientific research has proved that there are not many nutrients in rice soup, and there is also a lack of a variety of trace elements needed for the healthy growth and development of infants and young children, often give the baby rice soup, it is easy to lead to the baby malnutrition problem.
The main ingredient in rice soup is water, to the baby to drink a lot of rice soup, easy to increase the baby's satiety, although the baby eats very full, but it is easy to be hungry, which will further increase the problem of malnutrition in the baby.
Affects the baby's gastrointestinal health
The baby's gastrointestinal space is limited, and just after weaning to eat complementary food, if you feed too much every time, it is not conducive to the baby's gastrointestinal health, and will also increase the baby's gastrointestinal digestion burden, thereby affecting the baby's gastrointestinal health.
Affects your baby's ability to chew and the eruption of deciduous teeth
When the baby first starts to eat complementary foods, although there may not be deciduous teeth, this does not mean that the baby can only drink some soup and water. You must know that although the baby has no teeth, the baby's gums are still very strong.
For foods with a certain hardness, babies can also easily control. If you don't believe me, you can drink your finger into your baby's mouth and let your baby take a bite, it must feel very sour.
If you add liquid food such as soup and water to the baby all the time, this will not only prevent the baby's chewing ability to be exercised and improved, but also affect the germination of the baby's deciduous teeth, which may lead to the delay in the growth of the baby's deciduous teeth, and ultimately affect the health of the teeth.
What other foods are not suitable for your baby as a food supplement?
In addition to rice soup, many parents may have more or less violated some of these taboos, such as adult meals, soup bubble rice, etc., as well as the baby's complementary food is too single, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the baby.
What are the principles that baby food supplements should follow?
In addition to paying attention to avoiding the above problems, baby food supplements also need to follow the following principles in order to better promote the healthy development of babies.
Start with liquid foods and gradually transition to foods with a certain hardness
For babies who have just begun to add complementary foods, eating complementary foods at this time is only to gradually adapt to the food, and the baby is fed from milk to food to prepare.
In the first stage, parents should not expect their children to get much nutrition from food, and it is best to focus on breast milk and milk powder.
When adding complementary foods to the baby at the beginning, considering that the baby's stomach is not yet fully developed, the complementary food we make for the baby is best to start from the liquid soup and soup water. Then slowly and gradually transition to a lumpy, finger-shaped food.
Do not prematurely add salt and condiments to your baby's food supplement
Food without salt and condiments, I believe everyone will think it is not delicious. Therefore, some parents will also think the same way when making complementary foods for their babies. Therefore, it is customary to add salt and condiments to the baby's complementary food, thinking that the baby will prefer to eat.
As everyone knows, for babies who have just added complementary foods, the baby's complementary foods do not need any salt and condiments. The original food is more conducive to the healthy development of the baby for the baby, and the baby can also get the salt needed for the development of the body from the food.
The breast milk that the baby eats is also light and tasteless, and when you first start eating complementary foods, the baby does not need to eat much salty and flavorful food. Add salt and condiments to your baby too early. On the contrary, it will make the baby become a heavy taste and increase the digestive and metabolic burden of the baby's body.
For babies who have just begun to add complementary foods, especially babies under one year old, there is no need to add any table salt, it is best to wait until the baby is one year old, and then consider giving the baby a supplementary food appropriately, adding a little salt.
After the baby is one year old, the baby's complementary food is also best to achieve less salt, less oil and less sugar, and try to be as light as possible. This is more conducive to the baby's digestion and absorption.
Your baby's complementary foods are as diverse as possible
In order to promote the healthy development of the baby, it is best to diversify the complementary foods added to the baby. In this way, the nutritional needs of the baby's physical development can be better met. Mostly vegetables and fruits, a small amount of meat can be added.
In addition, the shape of the baby's food supplement should also be diverse, starting with liquid food, slowly transitioning to some small pieces of lumpy food, from the initial soft glutinous food, to the back into a certain degree of hardness of food. This is more conducive to the exercise of the baby's chewing ability and helps the growth of the baby's teeth.
