Regarding the baby's dietary safety, most mothers will focus on the baby's ingredients and food, but rarely pay attention to the baby's tableware.
Because many people think that things like tableware do not produce toxic substances at all, but in fact, this is not the case.
The 1-year-old girl suffered from leukemia, and the culprit was a bowl, which was caused by the negligence of her parents
In a hospital in Guiyang, a mother was looking at her daughter lying on the hospital bed with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't believe that her daughter, who was just over one year old, was suffering from leukemia, a "blood cancer" that everyone feared.
In this regard, many netizens expressed sympathy, but at the same time, they were very incomprehensible.
Because the other members of the family have no history of leukemia, there is no marriage between close relatives, and their parents do not work in chemical factories or other units, and they have not been exposed to obvious chemicals, etc., how can they suffer from leukemia?
Later, the doctor learned about the child's living situation, and when he saw the child's bowl, he seemed to find the cause of the child's illness.
"Can a bowl make a child more than 1 year old suffer from a 'terminal illness'?" some netizens did not believe it.
After all, for many people, even if the previously exposed plastic bottle precipitates "bisphenol A", it will not make the child "terminally ill" at the age of more than 1 year.
"Killing bowls" are everywhere, look at your family?
The bowl that caused her 1-year-old daughter to suffer from leukemia is a very ordinary-looking "melamine bowl".
This kind of bowl is also a bowl that many children in the family like to use, it has many obvious advantages, such as not broken, light weight, bright color to please children and so on.
In fact, the real melamine bowl does have many advantages, as long as the use method is correct, do not use high-temperature steaming, do not use in the microwave, etc.
It itself is non-toxic, but at the same time has the characteristics of drop resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., is an excellent choice for baby tableware.
However, the real melamine bowl is made of "melamine resin", and the bowl of the girl with leukemia is not a real melamine bowl, but a "fake melamine bowl" made by unscrupulous merchants using "urea-formaldehyde resin".
The reason why unscrupulous merchants do this is because "urea-formaldehyde resin" is cheaper than "melamine resin", which can allow unscrupulous merchants to obtain more benefits.
However, they did not take into account that "urea-formaldehyde resin" will be toxic after being heated, and will release formaldehyde and ammonia, which is simply a "poison gas bomb" that continuously emits toxins, and how can a child be healthy when he eats with this "gas bomb" every day?
When we condemn unscrupulous businesses, we should also be vigilant at the same time, after all, some people just have no conscience and don't care about anything in order to make money.
Therefore, for the sake of children's health, as parents, we must strictly control and never let toxic tableware become children's tableware.
If you want to avoid the "fatal bowl", parents must pay attention to these points when choosing tableware for their children
When choosing cutlery for your child, pay attention to these points to avoid buying a "life-killing bowl"
Children's physical fitness is already weak, and the use of toxic tableware is more likely to have more serious consequences. Therefore, parents must take a good look.
1) To understand the common cutlery materials, know which ones are safe
At present, there are many types of materials for tableware in the children's tableware market, including plastic, metal, glass, ceramics and other categories.
And when choosing cutlery, parents should know which materials are safe.
Generally speaking, food-grade materials that meet national standards are safe, and the common ones are: food-grade 304 stainless steel, food-grade 316L stainless steel, glass, clean-faced porcelain or underglaze colored porcelain, PP, PE, PS, silicone and other materials.
In addition, we also need to pay attention to some "fake materials" of the hardest hit areas, such as many unscrupulous merchants will use 2 series of steel to pass off as 3 series of steel, some merchants will use inferior plastics to pass off as food-grade plastics, and some porcelain is glaze color, if there are heavy metals and other harmful substances in its color raw materials, it may be toxic.
Therefore, it is generally recommended to buy food-grade tableware produced by regular manufacturers that have passed the test.
2) When buying tableware, try to choose clean noodles
The brighter the color of the tableware, the more children like it, so many parents like to buy some richly patterned tableware for their children.
However, from the perspective of safety, in fact, the more plain tableware, the safer it is. Because some tableware is likely to contain some unhealthy substances in the pattern.
3) When choosing tableware, you must pay attention to the details of the design
In addition to the material problem, we also need to pay attention to an important problem, which is the detailed design of the tableware.
For example, when buying tableware, we need to take into account the baby's dining Xi habits and choose tableware with a relatively reasonable design for the baby.
If you use unreasonably designed tableware for your baby, it will not only increase the difficulty of your baby's meal, but also may make your baby hate eating, which is not conducive to the cultivation of your baby's diet Xi habits.
Another point is to see whether there are defects in some details of the tableware, such as whether the edge of the bowl is smooth, whether there are burrs, etc., to ensure that the baby will not be hurt by the use of the tableware.
4) Be sure to check the implementation standards and other relevant information of tableware
The mothers' love for the baby is getting stronger and stronger, so when faced with some seemingly "advanced" advertisements, they may not be able to help but place an order to buy.
Of course, it is understandable that the mother wants to give the best to the baby, but it is best to look at the implementation standards and other relevant information of the product before placing an order.
If the tableware is not even a national standard, or it is not a national standard at all, or it shows an inconsequential standard, then it is likely that there is a problem with the tableware.
We must be careful when reviewing product information, otherwise we may miss important information.
For example, when looking at the "304 stainless steel bowl", because this kind of bowl is generally double-layered, we need to see if it is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel inside and out.
For example, when looking at a baby bowl made of plastic with a lid, we need to see what kind of plastic the bowl is, what kind of plastic the lid is, whether it belongs to the type of food-grade plastic, etc.
Write at the end
It is very important to give the baby a healthy and safe eating environment, and parents should not have the concept of "greedy cheap" and "expensive" when buying baby tableware.
In the current market supply and demand environment, expensive, not necessarily good, cheap, not necessarily cost-effective, for the baby to choose tableware must put aside the interference of price factors.
