Generally speaking, babies can eat complementary foods when they are 6 months old, so many mothers have begun to rack their brains to make various delicacies for their babies, eager to let their babies taste all the delicacies. However, the baby's gastrointestinal function is still very fragile, the digestive system is not perfect, and some foods, although very nutritious, cannot be put on the baby's table for the time being.
Some foods can cause allergies in the baby, some foods will increase the baby's gastrointestinal burden, and some foods cannot be digested and absorbed by the baby, these "unique" foods need our attention. Referring to many parenting books, many doctors agree that the following foods are not suitable for babies before the age of 1.
These 9 foods, it seems to be nutritious, do not eat the baby until the age of 1
1. Salt
The reason why salt is put in the first place is because there are more parents who make mistakes on this, and parents always feel that it is time for their children to eat some salt, or it is more tasteless to supplement food!
In fact, babies are very sensitive to salty tastes. Eating salt too early is not only not conducive to the baby's good eating habits, but also may increase the burden on the kidneys.
In addition, if the baby eats salt too early, but does not replenish water in time, it will lead to a decrease in saliva saliva secretion, resulting in an increase in oral bacteria and increasing the risk of disease. Therefore, the baby should not eat salt until the age of one, and eat less salt until the age of 6, and the less the better.
2. Chicken essence
When making complementary food for the baby, the mother not only can not put salt, but even chicken essence and MSG can not be put. Chicken essence and monosodium glutamate contain a substance called glutamate, once it enters the baby's body, it will form a new substance with zinc, resulting in a lack of zinc in the baby, which directly affects the baby's intellectual development.
3. Honey
Speaking of honey, many people think it is a good thing, and when you are constipated, it works to brew a cup. But if the baby is constipated, can he also drink honey water, and the answer is definitely "no".
Honey is easily contaminated with botulinum toxin during brewing, transportation and preservation. Before the age of one, the baby's immunity is insufficient, the liver detoxification function is relatively poor, and botulinum toxin is easy to multiply in the intestine, causing botulism. If the baby is really constipated, as long as the baby eats more foods rich in dietary fiber and drinks more water, it will be very effective.
4. Juice
Neither foreign pediatric associations nor domestic pediatricians recommend that babies before the age of 1 drink juice for two reasons. The first is that the juice contains a high sugar content, which in addition to causing oral problems and obesity in the baby, it will also lead to the baby's rejection of boiled water.
Secondly, in the process of juicing the fruit, a large amount of fiber is destroyed and replaced by sugar, which is not conducive to the health of the baby.
If the baby needs to supplement with vitamins, the mother can give the baby a puree or eat the fruit directly, which is more effective and healthier than juice.
5. Seafood
Seafood is never a good choice when it comes to adding meat supplements to your baby, and some adults are allergic when they eat seafood, let alone babies under one year old.
In addition to allergies, some fish will also have mercury, phosphorus, lead exceeding the standard, the baby eating these fish, will cause damage to the baby's brain development, especially the nervous system.
6. Tea
The old man loves to drink tea, his parents love to drink drinks and coffee, and when he takes the baby, he always wants to give the baby a taste. As everyone knows, the caffeine contained in tea, coffee, and drinks is also not conducive to the development of the baby's brain.
Secondly, the tea polyphenols in tea will also affect the baby's intestinal function, resulting in indigestion, so babies under one year old should not drink anything except milk and water.
7. Tropical fruits
Give the baby fruit supplementary food, apples, pears, oranges, grapes can meet the baby's needs for nutrition, do not give the baby to eat mango, pineapple, kiwi and other tropical fruits, these can easily cause allergic reactions to the baby.
8. Astringent vegetables
When giving supplementary food to babies in the early days, vegetable puree is definitely a good choice, but some astringent vegetables are not suitable for babies, such as spinach, greens, leeks and so on. These astringent vegetables contain high levels of oxalic acid, which easily reacts with calcium in your baby's body to form a substance called calcium oxalate. It is difficult to digest and can easily lead to calcium deficiency in babies, affecting height development. Mothers may wish to give their babies some potatoes, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and other foods first.
9. Nuts
In order to develop the baby's brain well, many people have added nut supplementary foods to the child early, which is also unscientific. Whether nuts can promote the development of the baby's brain, there is not enough scientific evidence, but the baby's allergic reaction due to eating nuts, suffocation is not uncommon.
Therefore, it is recommended that the baby should not eat nuts before the age of 1, and then eat them after the age of one to avoid the occurrence of suffocation.
summary
In fact, the nutritional components required for the baby's intelligence and height development are contained in many foods, and the above foods are not necessary to eat, but why should we bet on the baby's health?
