In fact, this is a lot of parents do not know what complementary food is the most suitable for the baby, or the order of drinking milk and eating complementary food is reversed, resulting in the baby's physical discomfort, so it hurts the stomach and intestines and affects health.
Many adults like to drink a glass of milk when they wake up in the morning, but studies have found that drinking milk on an empty stomach in the morning is unhealthy.
Because after a night of digestion by the gastrointestinal system, the state of fasting in the morning is hungry and requires a lot of food to replenish energy.
Drinking milk on an empty stomach will not only stimulate the gastrointestinal system, but also lead to the rapid loss of nutrients, which is not conducive to health and nutrient absorption.
But this common sense does not apply to small babies, who drink milk on an empty stomach and will not hurt the stomach.
The question is, does the baby wake up in the morning to drink milk or eat first? Doctor's advice to know
A one-year-old baby
All the energy of the baby before the age of one comes from breast milk, and he must drink milk before going to bed and drink milk when he wakes up, and there is no fixed feeding time and breakfast, lunch and dinner.
And babies have been drinking breast milk since birth, so drinking milk on an empty stomach is an innate ability for them.
And babies at this age are not enough to reach the stage of eating complementary foods, whether they have chewing ability or digestion ability, and can only rely on breast milk to supplement energy.
Therefore, drinking milk on an empty stomach will not affect the stomach and intestines, but not drinking milk on time will affect the development and growth of children.
Babies from 1 to 3 years old
At this time, the child has gradually grown up, and the body needs more energy to support the day's behavioral activities, and breast milk alone is far from enough.
At this time, complementary foods have begun to slowly be used as the main source of nutrition, but the feeding of dairy products can not be stopped.
Children at this stage are still not completely weaned, so eating first or drinking milk first is not very important to them, if the baby likes to eat complementary foods, you can give the child a bowl of steaming millet porridge in the morning;
If your child likes to drink milk, you can also give them a cup of thick hot milk. This age group is mainly determined according to the preferences of the babies, and there is no specific order.
Children over 3 years old
Most of the children in this age group have been weaned, and even if they drink milk, they are no longer the previous breast milk and milk powder, but are replaced by milk.
Baby's milk powder is made according to the physique, relatively easy to absorb and digest, but milk has certain additives, at this time if the child drinks milk on an empty stomach, it will hurt the stomach and intestines, and there may be symptoms of abdominal pain.
Therefore, after the child is a little older, it is best to drink milk in the morning with some bread or eggs and other foods, eat something to pad the stomach and then drink milk, to avoid the situation of gastrointestinal discomfort and physical discomfort caused by drinking on an empty stomach.
Breakfast is very important for people's health, and it must be taken seriously.
