It's the weekend again, and I want to ask a friend to go hiking with me, but the friend says she can't go because her child is sick.
As parents, we all have a deep understanding that when the child is sick, when the mother is the most uncomfortable, she is eager to get sick for the baby.
Comforted a friend, the friend said: No way, my children are small, and picky eaters, I am not as good at cooking as you! The food I cook, children don't like to eat. But I decided to start today, according to the recipe you shared, and start learning to cook.
I'm happy, and I'm a mother who cooks for love!
Of course, I cooked because of this love! When I was just born a lot, I was not good at cooking, and the daily breakfast was millet porridge with pickles, plus steamed buns and boiled eggs, and the nutritional combination was completely unsatisfactory.
When I first became a mother, I was nervous, afraid that my child's diet would not be good, which would affect my child's physical development and healthy growth. As I grew older and could eat more and more food, I was forced to learn how to cook nutritionally.
From 2014 to now, I have been making breakfast for nearly 8 years, and in these 8 years, in addition to cooking for my two children, I have also insisted on sharing my kitchen records online and writing them into graphic recipes.
In the past two years, I have begun to learn to shoot videos, because I know that there are many new mothers, just like me, who do not know how to cook.
Insisting on writing recipes is also the process of learning, recording and growing up, in the past 8 years, not only learned to cook, but also learned how to balance the nutrition of children's diet, and taught myself to become a half-family nutritionist.
It is also in this process of continuous learning that I have gradually discovered that just increasing nutrition in the usual three meals a day is still not enough for children.
When children are young, their bodies grow particularly fast, and they need the most and most comprehensive nutrients.
Take the example of DHA necessary for the development of the child's brain,
I specifically looked for a dietitian friend to study: without considering the absorption rate, the average daily is 100mg DHA, and the child eats one or two fish almost every day.
But many babies really don't love to eat fish, and even some don't like to eat because of the relationship between fish bones, and they are afraid to eat. Therefore, it is difficult to eat enough DHA through fish dishes.
Another nutrient of particular concern is vitamin D:
Vitamin D can be eaten in sun-dried food, and can also be generated by direct sunlight on the skin, and its main role is to guide the calcium in the blood calcium to be deposited into the child's bones and teeth, and to play a mediating role in human immunity.
From this description of vitamin D, the importance of this vitamin can be realized. The two topics of "growing tall" and "immunity" have broken the hearts of many parents. In the era of the pandemic, children's outdoor activity time has dropped significantly, and vitamin D supplementation is even more important.
However, the amount of children's meals is limited after all, and we can encourage children to eat nutritious and healthy, but we must not let children eat too much. Excessive food intake will only make the body overweight and more unhealthy.
However, how to eat so that the child does not grow fat, and the nutrition is enough?
The advice of a dietitian friend opened my mind: it was possible to take appropriate oral vitamin supplements. The SmartyPants multivitamin gummies she recommended to me solved my problems greatly.
At that time, I also held the attitude of trying it out to understand first, sent to the group of mothers I often chatted with, I did not expect that many mothers knew about this SmartyPants multivitamin gummy, some mothers used to go abroad on business trips, but also specially brought back to the family as a gift.
In the ranking of children's health product sales data of Amazon in the United States from 2018 to 2020, SmartyPants children's multivitamin gummies are still NO.1.
In China, it is also the choice of many mothers.
Because the top of the bottle is in English, I deliberately found Chinese instruction manual to read more conveniently.
As can be seen from this table, SmartyPants multivitamin gummies contain 19 nutrients, in addition to multivitamins, DHA, which is helpful for brain development and extracted from deep-sea fish oil, and riboflavin, which is good for eyes and vision. Now children are exposed to too many electronic products, as parents, it is inevitable to worry about their children's vision.
That's what kids eat smartyPants multivitamin gummies.
SmartyPants Multivitamin Gummies are based on age banding, my two children are over 4 years old, and the choice is suitable for children aged 4-12 years old in red packaging.
There are cute pictures of owls on the bottle, and my children also like to call it owl fudge, which tastes sweet and sour, and the children like it. Formula is GMO-free, additive-free, and free of eight allergens;
Where children enter, I only believe in big brands, more guaranteed. At that time, SmartyPants was identified in part because it was a professional nutrition import brand from the Unilever factory. The products meet the high quality standards of the FDA (Us Food and Drug Administration) and have won many certifications such as NSF and wheat bran-free.
According to the two-dimensional code of the bottle body, the scan code can be traced back to the source of anti-counterfeiting, to the child to eat something, or to seriously understand it, eat more assured.
This bottle of SmartyPants multivitamin gummies has 90 capsules, and each child is assigned 4 capsules per day according to the standard, which not only satisfies the children's desire to eat sugar, but also supplements them with a variety of nutrients needed for physical growth, so that old mothers do not have to worry about the children's nutritional deficiencies, killing two birds with one stone.
The sugar content of 4 smartyPants multivitamin gummies is only a small piece of apple content, so there is no need to worry too much about children eating too much sugar.
I also chose a SmartyPants kids probiotic gummy for the kids.
(SmartyPants Kids Probiotic Nutritious Gummies for Ages 3+)
The 4 billion CFU double plants selected by it have a high survival rate of imported soil-based live bacteria, with their own natural spore structure, strong stability, and can smoothly reach the intestine. Additional M-gard prebiotics, containing a high concentration of β-dextran, promote the proliferation of intestinal probiotics and enhance children's self-protection.
Many children are prone to indigestion when they are young, eat more food or nutrients can not be absorbed, but also often diarrhea or constipation, so it is important to supplement probiotics and improve the child's intestinal environment.
The weather has just warmed up, my children want to eat ice cream, see many parents regard ice cream as a tiger, in fact, it is not necessary, as long as the child's stomach is healthy, eat anything, as long as the amount is controlled.
Ice cream has been in my fridge since the beginning of April, and it's for kids. The process of raising children is also the process of continuous growth of parents, rather than forbidding the left and right, it is better to help children have a healthy body and make children eat happier.
