Babies under one year old, due to the imperfect development of the gastrointestinal tract, many foods can not be eaten prematurely. Because of the consumption of such foods, not only can not provide nutrition for the baby, but also may endanger his health.
Therefore, as parents, we must be careful in our food choices. So, what foods can't babies under one year old eat?
01. Pure milk
Babies under 1 year old should drink breast milk the most, and if the mother's milk is insufficient, they should also consider drinking formula instead of pure milk.
For the baby, pure milk contains a high concentration of protein and minerals, the baby's body can not be fully absorbed, will bring a burden to the baby's immature body, so the baby within 1 year old can not be fed pure milk.
02. Honey
For a long time, honey has been said to have the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, beauty and beauty. However, from a nutritional point of view, most of the ingredients in honey are sugar, and only a small part of water.
One-year-old baby due to the body's resistance, immunity is still relatively low, and the intestinal digestive function is not particularly good, and honey in the process of collection is likely to be mixed with more bacteria and various microorganisms, if the baby eats is likely to lead to intestinal bacteria, viral infections, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Honey is cold, and it is easy to cause intestinal discomfort in the baby after consumption. Therefore, it is best for children to eat some honey after the age of three, when the intestinal function has been perfected.
03. Juice
Juice this drink, sweet and sour is very delicious. However, babies under 1 year old are not allowed to drink juice. Do you know why? There are several main reasons:
First of all, fruit juice is much more sugar than eating fruit directly, and it is easy for babies to drink diarrhea, flatulence and other problems. And because the juice has a lot of sugar, the baby drinks the juice for a long time, which will also cause obesity and tooth decay.
Secondly, most of the nutrients in the fruit are in the pulp, and drinking juice alone is not enough to support the nutrients needed by the baby's body, which is easy to cause problems such as malnutrition.
Finally, the taste of the juice is too sweet. Drinking juice too early can easily stimulate the baby's sense of taste, which will make the baby lose interest in other foods with weak taste. For example, breast milk, milk powder, etc., which will affect the baby's future growth and development.
04. Salt sugar flavoring agent
Babies under 1 year old do not need to eat additional salt and sugar as a flavoring agent, too much salt intake will increase the baby's physical burden, reduce oral saliva, and cause respiratory problems. It will also disrupt the metabolic balance in the baby's body and affect the absorption of other nutrients.
Eating sugar will not only have an impact on the baby's teeth, but also cause obesity due to excessive sugar intake, which can be said to be only harmful, no benefit.
The baby's complementary food should still maintain a light taste, whether it is salt, sugar or other spices and condiments should not be given to the baby to try to eat.
05. Whole nuts
We all know that nuts are very nutritious. But nuts can easily cause allergies in babies, and in addition to allergies, nuts can also cause babies to get stuck in foreign bodies.
The baby's swallowing ability is not perfect before the age of 3, and the nuts are relatively hard, and the whole nut is eaten, which is easy to click on the baby's throat, causing the risk of suffocation.
06. Processed foods
In addition to the several mentioned above, there are some heavy foods that are not suitable for babies under 1 year old. For example, chocolate with high calories, doughnuts and candy, preserves, cookies, cakes, etc., not only have a single nutrition, long-term consumption is also easy to cause premature caries and obesity and other diseases.
When purchasing, parents must pay attention to the nutrition facts list and ingredient list. Choose foods without salt, MSG, less sugar and less oil, and less chemical additives for your baby to eat.
There are also some pickled products, sauce products and other meals contain a variety of spices and additives, which can not be given to the baby to eat. It contains too much salt, which will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and affect the baby's physical health.
The blacklist of food that the baby can't eat within one year old is basically here, and the parents must pay more attention to protect the baby's diet health.
