Introduction: Loving children is the innate instinct of every pair of parents! But some "love", for the child, may be "hurt", such as chasing the child to feed.
01, the child's frequent illness is actually the disaster caused by "feeding"
Wen Wen's father's cousin got married and had children late, and after the birth of the child, the whole family was very happy. When the child was born, he was white and fat, very cute. But somehow, the child is over the age of one, three days at both ends are sick, either fever or diarrhea or constipation, but it hurts the cousin.
Until one time, Wen Wen's father went to his cousin's house to visit the door and seemed to find the reason why his children were frequently sick - "eating too much". When she went to her house, her cousin was feeding the child, but the child did not seem to be interested in the meal, and even if the mother put the spoon to her mouth, he resisted.
In the end, under the cousin's various coaxing, cheating, persuasion, and yelling, he barely finished eating the whole bowl of rice. After a while, the cousin brought a bowl of steamed eggs and coaxed and persuaded the child to eat it. It is difficult to eat eggs, and let eat fruit, drink milk, the child is full of food and does not want to eat, the cousin is always afraid that the child is hungry, so he feeds all kinds.
Therefore, Wen Wen's father told his cousin that the reason why the child was frequently sick was because he was too full.
The cousin said incomprehensibly that the child has enough to eat, and the body is good!
Looking at my cousin's puzzled face, I explained that the child is only more than 1 year old now, the digestive function is weak, if you eat too much, digestion can not be removed, it will cause food accumulation, constipation, vomiting or fever. This kind of "cramming" feeding is the main cause of frequent illness of children.
The cousin did not think so, still kept feeding the child, and later after the child was sent to the hospital with fever, the doctor learned of the child's feeding situation, and also reminded the cousin to "stop feeding the child", regular feeding, not only will damage the child's stomach, but also affect the height and intelligence.
02, the harm brought to children by feeding is heavyweight
Subsequently, Wen Wen's father also checked the relevant information of "feeding" and found that feeding his children was really a matter of doing more harm than good! Children who grow up being fed by their parents are all heavyweights.
Damage your child's stomach and intestines
When the cousin feeds the child, she always urges the child to eat quickly, and the child just swallows, and the mother scoops up a large spoon and feeds it into her mouth.
In this way, the child is forced by the urging of the mother, and the meal must not be chewed slowly, and can only swallow the date of the desperate swallow. Over time, the child can not digest, it will lead to food accumulation, thereby affecting gastrointestinal function.
What's more, a certain degree of hunger is good for the health of the child, the baby's gastric mucosa is delicate and the digestive function is weak. If the previous meal is too full, it will affect the digestion of the next meal, and in the long run, it will affect gastrointestinal function.
Therefore, it is not recommended to feed the child and let the child eat very full, otherwise, it will be detrimental to the absorption and digestion of food, and it will also damage the child's stomach and intestines.
Affects the child's height and intellectual development
When doing child care for her daughter, the child care doctor once mentioned that when the child is hungry, the body will secrete more growth hormone to stimulate the growth of bones.
If the child eats very full all day and does not have any hunger, it will affect the secretion of growth hormone, which in turn will affect the height development.
In addition, there are studies that show that children eat too much for a long time, which will not only aggravate the digestive function of the stomach and intestines, but also affect the brain development of infants and young children, inhibit the activity of intelligent areas such as language, thinking, and memory, and in severe cases, it will also lead to limited intellectual development.
Children who are often fed are prone to gain weight
A British study found that children who were often fed by their parents during the supplementary feeding phase were more likely to be obese than children who ate independently on their own.
Dr Amy Brown, a pediatrician at Swansea University in the United Kingdom, and colleagues assessed the eating habits of 298 children, the addition of complementary foods at 6-12 months of age, and the behavior of these children.
It was found that having the baby eat on his own was more preventing overweight than being fed by his parents.
In this regard, Dr. Amy Brown analyzed that starting from the addition of complementary foods, letting children eat by themselves helps children better control their appetite and learn their own eating rhythms, while adult feeding is easy for children to overeat, resulting in obesity.
It is not conducive to the learning and development of children's abilities
First of all, children who can eat independently from an early age generally have good hand and mouth coordination ability, and can accurately grasp the food and then accurately put it into the mouth.
This process helps to exercise the fine movements of your child's hands. However, children who are fed from a young age do not have such good hand-mouth coordination, and even when they grow up, they will learn to eat on their own, but they will often scatter meals everywhere.
Secondly, it is not conducive to the child's learning and development
Since the daughter added complementary food, Wen Wen's father has deliberately trained her to eat independently, and in more than 7 months, she can spit out the bones in the meat, and even eat fish to spit out fish bones.
Later, he spoke very early, and his pronunciation was very clear, and when he asked the doctor during a child protection, the doctor said that children who ate well would pronounce earlier and clearer.
Because in the process of buffet eating, the oral exercise is more sensitive, and the pronunciation of the bite word is more accurate. And those children who are often fed by their parents will only numbly swallow according to their parents' instructions, and their oral movements will not be exercised, and their pronunciation will naturally not be so accurate.
In summary, Wen Wen Dad reminds everyone, don't chase the child to feed, please boldly let go, let the child eat independently, maybe the child can also experience the fun of eating, so that you can get rid of the problem of feeding from now on.
03, the secret of parents not feeding, "eating contract" to understand
When my daughter was a child, my grandmother also fed food for a while, Wenwen Dad asked her not to feed, and grandma always complained: if she didn't feed, she wouldn't eat! Feed and eat slowly...
Wen Wen's father saw the situation, so he took a measure and achieved an immediate effect, so that his daughter quickly developed a good habit of eating independently. This measure is called the "meal contract".
Wen Wen's father first told his daughter a tragic story of "poor children in poor mountainous areas, no food to eat", and then told her daughter that although our country is rich in grain, there are still some poor mountainous areas and there is a great shortage of grain, so we must cherish grain and cannot waste it.
And agreed with the children that in the future, every meal should be eaten seriously, not watching TV, playing with toys, and saving food for children in poor mountainous areas.
After obtaining my daughter's consent, I printed out the agreement I had just made and made a "meal contract" and pasted it next to the table.
Since then, my daughter has been eating very seriously, and every meal has been eaten independently, and she has never let her grandmother feed her again.
In short, eating is the child's own business, and parents cannot feed their children for a lifetime. In addition, the harm of feeding should also be paid attention to by parents.
