After six months, can the baby let go of eating complementary foods? The method is not right, it is better not to eat
Adding complementary food to children is a problem that many mothers are very concerned about, for which mothers have also done their homework, but whether it is people around them or online statements, almost all of them are "public sense, mothers say that mothers are reasonable", so mothers will inevitably become confused about this, take myself, I was once very confused, I don't know when to add, what to add is the best for children. However, a story I saw not long ago made me learn a lot, and the spectrum in my heart also grew.
An aunt Zhang downstairs in my house, there are twin sons in the family, the two sons have been married before and after a few years ago, the most important thing is that the two brothers have children on the same day, and the two children, whether it is weight or height, even the appearance is almost exactly the same, the family is very happy about this, saying that although the two children are cousins, they are better than brothers.
Aunt Zhang is even more smiling and closed her mouth, but also specifically went to find a fortune teller to name the two children, one called Zi Cheng, one called Zi Hao, and then the two babies were breastfeeding, gradually grew to half a year old, every time they went to the physical examination, the data of the two brothers was almost the same, Aunt Zhang also made a special record for this, planning to wait for the children to grow up to show them.
However, to the surprise of Aunt Zhang's family, since 6 months later, the gap between the children is becoming more and more obvious, 10 days after being born tomorrow morning, but Zihao's height and weight are gradually lagging behind his younger brother Zicheng. Even by the age of 1, the height difference between the two brothers was 5 centimeters. The reason is that his younger brother Zicheng has been eating complementary foods since he was half a year old, while his brother Zihao did not start adding complementary foods until 8 months.
It turned out that after the two children grew to half a year old, the mother of the younger brother Zicheng decided to add complementary food to the child due to his lack of milk and wanted to go to work early, although at first he was very resistant, and even appeared to spit out the phenomenon just after eating it, but Zicheng's mother did not give up. On the contrary, the mother of the older brother Zihao because of the milk is sufficient, coupled with the high salary of Zihao's father, there is no pressure on the economy, so he plans to give Zihao breast milk all the time, although he has bought two boxes of rice noodles, but Zihao does not like to eat, Zihao's mother transferred it to Zicheng's mother, and did not insist on giving the child to eat. In this way, the two brothers ate breast milk, one ate rice noodles, egg yolks, and vegetables and fruits, meat, animal liver and other puree every day, and in the blink of an eye, both brothers grew to 8 months.
At this time, the gap between the two brothers appeared, Zihao's height began to lag behind Zicheng, and Zihao's mother was also very anxious to see the situation, which decided to add complementary food to the child, but Zihao liked very few complementary foods, in addition to porridge and a small amount of meat and vegetables, the other almost did not eat, so Zihao's mother was still based on breast milk, and the complementary food was added very little this way to feed the child, and at this time, the zicheng was eating more and more abundantly.
Finally, the gap between the two brothers is becoming more and more obvious, by the age of 1, the younger brother Cheng cheng height has 80 cm, weighing 20 pounds, while the older brother Zihao is only 75 cm, the weight is also two pounds less than the younger brother, the key is that the two children's intelligence and psychological development data also has a significant gap, the younger brother in many ways than the older brother development is better.
So the height and weight data of the two brothers at birth are obviously exactly the same, even before the age of half a year, why is the gap between them growing wider and wider? In the final analysis, it is because the timing of adding complementary foods is different, and the complementary foods they eat are also different. This led to the growth of the two brothers pulling apart
According to Aunt Zhang, although the mothers are each with their children, but the two families are close, so the two children can be said to have grown up together, not only playing the game is almost the same, but also the way parents guide education is the same, the only difference is that the younger brother Cheng supplementary food added early, half a year old began to add complementary food, to about 7 months, has begun to eat lean meat and animal liver, and the older brother Zihao is not only the time to add supplementary food late, eating is relatively simple. As a result, the children are now, the older brother is still mainly breastfeeding every day, eating less, and the younger brother is mainly eating, and breast milk eats less
To this end, the doctor also told Aunt Zhang and the two mothers that in general, the amount of iron contained in breast milk is very low, and the iron that children can supplement with 1000 mg of breast milk is only about 0.1 mg, and the absorption is even less.
In addition, for children, in about 5 months, the iron stored in their bodies is basically used up, and it needs to be replenished from the outside, and after 7 months, the iron they need has reached 10 mg per day, which is completely unable to meet the child's needs by breastfeeding alone. Therefore, parents need to add complementary foods to their children as soon as possible in the usual time, so that children can timely ingest the iron needed for physical development, in general, eating high-speed rail rice and meat puree liver mud can help children to supplement iron. Otherwise, the iron deficiency in the child's body will make the body's development slow. In addition, the lack of iron will also lead to children's memory, body immunity and so on become underground.
Therefore, parents to add complementary food to their children is best or "sooner rather than later", in about 6 months can be given to their children to do some simple and easy to digest complementary food, in addition, parents want their children to develop well, eat healthy, but also pay attention to the nutritional combination of complementary food, as well as the improvement of color and flavor.
If parents are still very vague about when to give their children what complementary food is good, or they are also worried about their cooking skills affecting their children's appetite, then parents can also prepare a copy of "What To Eat Supplementary Food Every Week", the author of this book, Liu Changwei, is a doctor with rich clinical experience and strong professionalism, so the authority and science of the content of this book are very strong, and parents can rest assured and trust
And the content of the book is also very detailed, not only a detailed introduction to the principles that Bao Mom needs to follow when adding complementary foods to the child, as well as the signal that the baby should add complementary food, but also introduces the specific arrangements for the addition of complementary foods for the mothers and the various difficulties that may be encountered in the process of adding, it can be said that with this book, bao mom is equivalent to leading a professional nutritionist to take the child home, not only to make the baby eat appropriately, but also to let the baby eat healthy and delicious.
