As we all know, the baby is very fragile when it is just born, the body's immunity is still relatively poor, and it is easy to make the baby sick or infected by bacteria without paying attention to care at this time. Therefore, it is best for new mothers to learn more about parenting, so as to avoid the pit of parenting and ensure that they can raise their children in good health.
However, some new mothers rely on the experience of the people around them, generally the experience of the older generation in raising babies. This often makes the child suffer a lot of sins, for example, Xiao Xia said that he accidentally pit the child.
Xiaoxia said that when her child was five months old, she fed the child some egg yolks, and after eating them for half a month, the baby did not have any adverse reactions. So Xiao Xia planned to make an egg soup for the baby, and the egg white was also in it.
However, what Xiao Xia wanwan did not expect was that after eating egg soup, within half an hour, the baby was full of red bumps, and the itching was unbearable, and the baby's hands kept scratching on the body, which frightened Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia quickly sent the baby to the hospital, and after the pediatrician's examination, Xiao Xia learned that the real reason for the baby's symptoms. It turned out that the baby was allergic to egg whites, and the doctor asked Xiao Xia if he had given the baby egg whites, and Xiao Xia only said nonchalantly: just boiled some egg soup for him.
Pediatrician patiently gave her popular science that babies are too young to eat egg soup, you should learn prenatal lessons before you have dolls, these basic knowledge prenatal lessons teachers will tell you. The baby's digestion ability is still very fragile, and the protein in the egg white cannot be digested by the baby. So now you give him egg whites, and he will naturally be allergic and have adverse reactions.
In fact, it is not only Xiaoxia who will make such a mistake, basically 80% of parents have made this mistake. Many new mothers often forget that they can't give their babies egg whites
So when exactly can your baby eat complementary foods and egg whites?
1. After six months, you can add complementary foods to your child.
When to add complementary foods to children, different people have different opinions. Some feel that they can add complementary foods to their babies after four months; some people think that they can only add complementary foods after six months. So from a scientific point of view, which time is the most reliable?
Pediatricians tell us that it is most appropriate for babies to give the right amount of complementary food after six months of age. However, experts also pointed out that it is not possible to add complementary foods to the baby according to age, but also to combine the physical development of their own babies.
In general, when the baby's weight reaches 6.5 to 7 kg, you can consider adding some complementary foods to the baby. And between 4 and 6 months is a normal time for babies to eat complementary foods.
2. Eggs cannot be used as the baby's first supplementary food.
I have to say that the nutrition of eggs is very rich, but it is best not to use it as a supplementary food for the baby's first bite. Because breast milk is equally rich in nutrients, there are nutrients contained in eggs in breast milk.
Only after the child's six months, the iron provided in breast milk can not meet the needs of the baby's body. At this time, the most important thing to supplement is food containing iron, but there is no iron in eggs. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use eggs to make the baby's first supplementary food, at this time, the baby should eat some, such as fish puree, meat puree and other foods rich in iron elements.
3, it is best to give the baby egg whites after one year old.
In fact, there is no fixed time for the baby to eat, and the same is true for eggs. Parents can slowly add eggs to the ranks of complementary foods after the baby can accept the complementary foods such as fish puree, meat puree and tofu.
But in any case, even after the baby reaches the right age and weight, mothers are better careful, first give the child a small bite, there is no inability to react before gradually increasing the amount of food. As for when egg whites are best eaten, there is no uniform rule in medicine.
However, it is best for your baby to be able to eat egg whites after one year of age. However, the egg yolk is not egg white, from a scientific point of view, as long as the baby can eat the egg yolk, you can give him one a day, the egg yolk is rich in nutrients, can ensure the rapid growth of the baby's body.
summary:
When taking care of the baby, new mothers must know which ones the baby can eat and what cannot be eaten, especially to pay attention to what will make the baby allergic, do not blindly give the baby something to eat, so that it is too late to regret it afterwards. Of course, as a new mother, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in diet, and mothers do not have to worry, they should read more parenting books. The child has a problem the first time to enter the hospital, as long as the mothers are careful, the child will be able to grow up healthy.
