Having twins at home is of course a very happy thing, but it is also very hard. After all, raising children is a very laborious thing, especially twins, how to balance the relationship between two people, how to make both children grow up healthily, often very troublesome to novice parents.
Tingting gave birth to twin daughters after becoming pregnant, and the family was very happy. The two children were very healthy at birth, and Tingting's body recovered quickly after childbirth, so she has always insisted on breastfeeding the sisters and letting the twins raise white and fat.
However, after the addition of complementary foods, the gap between the two children became obvious. My sister likes to eat rice paste, especially if her grandmother's own rice noodles are picked out, she can eat a large bowl; while my sister prefers to eat meat paste, no matter what kind of meat paste, she eats it with relish.
Tingting thought that children could eat enough whether they ate rice noodles or meat puree anyway, so she didn't force them to eat anything. Gradually, as the children grew older, my sister's diet was more inclined to staple foods, such as rice noodles, etc., and my sister liked to eat vegetable puree in addition to meat puree.
When the child was one year old, Tingting found that the difference in physical examination values between the two children was obvious. The sister is three centimeters shorter than the younger sister, the head circumference is two centimeters smaller, and the hemoglobin value in the body is also low.
This naturally means that the sister's physical development is better and healthier than that of the sister, and the brain development is better than that of the sister, so the ability in limbs, reactions and other aspects will be stronger. Such a result made Tingting hard to believe, so she immediately consulted a doctor.
After the examination, the doctor told Tingting that the reason why the two children have such a difference is mainly related to their eating habits. Iron supplementation is very important when the child is young, but the iron content in foods such as rice noodles that my sister likes to eat is very low, which will naturally affect her development.
Therefore, after the child can eat complementary foods, the addition of complementary foods is very scientific. Parents must pay more attention to it, and must not let their children choose for themselves, otherwise it is likely to lead to adverse physical development of their children.
When adding complementary foods to your baby, what should I pay attention to?
1. From less to more
In the baby to add complementary food initially, should be more iron-containing rice noodles, it should be noted that the amount at this time can be appropriately less, when the baby slowly adapts, and then gradually increase the amount.
2. From single to diverse
When the baby is initially added to the supplementary food, the parents can first choose a food, such as giving the baby a kind of vegetable puree, if the baby can adapt, then add another complementary food after 3 to 4 days.
In this way, the baby's taste development can be well stimulated, and it can also be determined that the baby can eat safely without allergies.
3, from soft to hard, from fine to thick
Initially, the baby's complementary food should be liquid, because at about 6 months, the baby's deciduous teeth have not yet erupted, and it is difficult for the baby to accept the too hard complementary food.
With the increase of the baby's age, their complementary food texture can start from the semi-liquid mud, then transition to the crumb, and finally to the solid, which can not only exercise the child's chewing ability, but also allow the child to receive more complementary food, which is conducive to their healthy development.
