When the child turns one year old, his height and weight increase decrease, but he begins to learn to walk and learn to speak.
And his feeding style has also changed from drinking mainly liquid milk to eating solid meals.
So there will be very obvious changes in the way children are fed. It can be said that the child is the watershed of feeding at the age of one, and the 5 feeding methods before the age of one year, the mother must make changes in time, otherwise it will affect the child's physical health.
After the child is one year old, there are 5 changes to feeding, and the mother should not be lazy
Change 1: Stop drinking night milk
In fact, when the child starts to add complementary foods at 6 months, he can physiologically do not need to drink milk for 8 to 10 hours, and can sleep at night.
However, some children may still be attached to breast milk, or have some separation anxiety, and there will be cases of drinking night milk, but such a situation should be changed in time after the child is one year old.
Because after the child is one year old, his gastrointestinal tract is more mature, his main food is meals, so there is no problem in not eating for 12 hours, at this time, you must completely cut off the child's night milk.
Weaning after one year of age is more conducive to the growth of the child's height, helps the child to better enter the deep sleep, and helps the health of the child's teeth.
Change 2: Drink milk from a bottle
Although children can drink pure milk after the age of one, most children will still drink formula, and when drinking formula, many parents are accustomed to using bottles for their children to prepare and give children bottles to drink.
In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children drink milk from a cup after they reach the age of one, and drinking milk from a bottle is harmful to the health of children.
When the child drinks milk with the bottle, it is easy to cause the front teeth to contact the pacifier in this circle, the teeth appear carious, and the child uses the bottle to drink milk, which will also cause the child to like to play when drinking milk, and the attention is not concentrated, affecting the child's digestion.
But if the child drinks milk with a cup, not only can better protect the child's teeth, the most important thing is that the child will not play with the cup to drink milk, let the child drink milk faster, help the child's digestion, help the child form a good eating habits.
Change 3: Eat on your own
After the child reaches the age of one, his fine movements are relatively mature, and he can pick up a spoon with his small hand and put the food in the bowl and send it to his mouth.
Such a process is easy and easy for adults, but there is still a certain degree of difficulty for children.
It is precisely because of the difficulty that we can let the child learn to exercise, the child may accidentally drop the rice grains on the ground when eating by himself, this is no problem, compared to the child can exercise themselves, eating and wasting a little food, it is harmless.
Children eat by themselves, can better grasp their own amount of food, it is not easy to be picky in the future, and children can pay more attention to eating when they eat on their own, which is more conducive to digestion.
Change 4: Milk volume decreases, meals increase
Before the age of one, milk is a staple food, and 600 to 1000 ml of breast milk or milk powder should be drunk every day, and the child's main energy and nutrients are also derived from milk or breast milk.
But after the child is one year old, such a diet should be changed, the child's milk amount began to decrease, drink 400 to 600 ml of milk every day, and the meal of three meals a day is mainly a meal dish.
Therefore, parents should pay more attention to making complementary foods for their children with full color and flavor, so that children can absorb nutrients better and help children grow taller.
Change 5: The variety of foods increases
Children are not well developed before the age of one, and when we add any kind of food to our children, we must first try to eat a few bites.
There are some foods that are prone to allergies, such as shrimp, such as milk, such as egg white, such as mango, etc., which are not recommended.
But after the child is one year old, what kind of food must be tried to eat for the child, easy to allergies of food can be a small amount of children to try to eat, observe two or three days without problems to the child to slowly increase the amount.
After the child is one year old, the main meal is, so the variety of food must be slowly increased.
After the child is one year old is the key watershed of diet, to make a nutritionally balanced complementary food for the child, in order to help the child's height growth, help the child's brain development, help the child learn to walk, learn to speak.
