For the mother whose baby is growing up, whether the child's body is healthy and whether the height and weight are growing normally can be said to be their most concerned issue.
In many "Bao Mama's Back Garden" WeChat groups, Bao Moms will talk about their children's three meals a day and various cute little habits every day, hoping to learn some knowledge of feeding babies from other Bao Moms.
When it comes to the topic of children's height and weight, many mothers will unconsciously compare their own children with other children, if they are higher than other children, their weight is very happy than other children's standards, if their height or weight and standards are almost the same, they are so anxious that they can't sleep.
He even began to think wildly, wondering if his baby had some genetic problems, or whether his and her husband's physical problems caused the children to be inferior to other peers.
In fact, it is very normal to have these worries, after all, the child is the baby of the family, and now the children are pursuing high quality, that is, to give the child the best, let the child grow up healthy and healthy, if the height and weight are almost the same, it is not good for the child's future schooling and employment.
However, finding the problem is not the focus, solving the problem is the focus, how to solve the problem? Then you have to know what is the reason for the baby's weight gain, and ask yourself every day when feeding your child, have you achieved the following 3 feeding habits?
Is your dietary intake enough?
The older generation of people feed their children by feeling, children cry to feed a little, to the point to feed a little, it can be said that it is not scientific at all. But now it's different, a lot of things have their standards, and many new parents do everything according to the standards.
How much milk to drink according to the instructions, how much complementary food to eat according to expert advice, in short, everything is framed by the standard, afraid that the child will eat more and cause food accumulation. But is this really good?
In fact, this is not the case, after all, the child is not a robot, not to follow the standard procedure every day, the amount of baby food supplement can not be completely measured according to the standard how many grams and how many milliliters. So what is the basis for judging what a child's daily dietary intake should be?
The answer is: look at the child's own acceptance. If every time you prepare food for your baby, your baby can eat it all at once and quickly without stopping.
And there is no manifestation of allergies, constipation and diarrhea, which means that the current amount of diet may be worse for the child, at this time you can add a little to the child.
If the child eats slowly every time he eats food, and he can't finish eating every time, then it is very likely that the current amount of food is too much for the child and should be appropriately reduced.
In general, how much the child wants to eat is summed up in one word - tailor-made.
Is sleep quality good enough at night?
I believe that as a mother, everyone complains about feeding night milk, everyone knows that night milk is necessary when the baby is a child, sometimes it is fed three or four times a night, and the baby will cry when he falls.
In this way, many mothers feel that they have "sacrificed" and have also comforted the child, but in fact, this kind of soothing feeding will seriously affect the weight growth of the child, because the frequent night milk, coupled with the amount of milk at night is actually not much, will lead to the baby has no way to effectively absorb the nutrients in breast milk, so each time it seems to be fed many times, but there is no practical effect.
In the face of this situation, mothers must take measures, for example, usually can slowly lengthen the time interval between feeding night milk, reduce the frequency of feeding night milk to the baby at night, and feed the baby enough at one time, which can not only facilitate absorption, but also improve the sleep quality of the baby and the mother, is it a double win?
Is there enough iron in complementary foods?
Many mothers have heard others say that babies should eat less red meat, because the child is still small, the digestion ability is not strong, and it is easy to eat red meat, so many mothers are very taboo to add red meat when adding complementary foods to their children.
But to know that the red meat is very rich in iron, and the baby has a hemoglobin standard at each age, for six months of baby, hemoglobin must be in 120-160 to be normal, if it is lower than this level, it may cause anemia in young children, which has a serious impact on the healthy development of children.
So don't be afraid to give the child to eat red meat, of course, can not eat more, after all, now the child eats meat is not easy to digest, in addition to red meat, you can also give the child to eat more iron content of more foods, such as iron-containing rice noodles.
Write at the end
The baby's growth is actually a growth curve, the mothers are not as good as compared with other children to judge whether the child's development is normal according to the standard growth curve, if the control of the growth curve found that the child's height and weight have not increased for a long time, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination in time, "the bottom of the salary, the right medicine"!
