Recently, some parents have complained that the baby looks like bean sprouts, and they always love to get sick, and they really don't know what to do. In fact, the baby does not grow well, it is likely that the eating habits are not good, the development of good eating habits will make the baby grow taller, grow stronger, do not like to get sick, and benefit the baby for life, so how should parents cultivate the baby's eating habits?
1. Gubao meal time
After 6 months, the baby's meal time should be fixed as much as possible. As a result of the fixed meal, when the corresponding time comes, the small belly that "cooing" will remind the baby: "It's time to eat". Let your baby's stomach be regular.
After the age of 1, try to make the baby's meal time the same as that of the parents, so that the child can experience the pleasant atmosphere of family meals.
2. Set a place to eat
The older the baby, the more he likes to eat at the table with his family, at this time, it is best to give the baby a suitable dining table, chairs and tableware. Regular tables and beautiful cutlery can increase your baby's interest in eating and give him peace of mind.
The atmosphere of eating together as a family will also play a role in promoting the development of the baby's emotional intelligence.
3. Not a picky eater
If you let your baby not be a picky eater, you should start from the time of adding complementary food. At the beginning of the addition, because the baby is not used to the new food taste, he may refuse or eat very slowly, very little, parents should not give up easily, and do not be too anxious.
For foods that babies refuse to eat, you can chop them up and mix them with your favorite foods, or find ways to match the colors of the meals beautifully to attract your baby to try.
When the baby accepts the taste of this food, he will gradually like to eat it.
4. Don't snack before meals
Babies have limited capacity in their small tummy, and eating snacks before meals will affect the amount of food they eat. The correct time to snack is between meals, such as around 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and eat some fruits, yogurt, and snacks to replenish energy.
5. Eat attentively
Some babies don't want to eat, parents will chase after the house to feed, this practice is not advisable, this will make the baby have the illusion that eating is like a game.
Babies don't experience the pleasure of eating. Therefore, when eating, the baby should sit at the dining table, concentrate on eating, do not turn on the TV, do not play with toys, more than 1 year old baby likes to do it himself, let the baby also take a spoon, experience the fun of eating food in the mouth.
Generally, the meal time is 10-20 minutes, and the bowl is taken away after 20 minutes. Parents should not blindly let the baby eat more and persuade and feed, the baby himself knows that he is full.
6. Eat some whole grains often
Nowadays, babies eat too finely, which is not conducive to the development of their teeth. In fact, there are more nutrients in multigrains. Multigrains are rich in dietary fiber, which is conducive to laxative, but the taste of multigrains is often not good.
Therefore, the best way for babies to eat cereals is to boil corn, steam sweet potatoes, or eat whole wheat bread, corn steamed buns, corn cakes, etc.
7. Drink milk every day
Babies should drink milk every day, but some babies have a large reduction in milk supply after eating complementary foods, so that their growth and development lag behind that of babies of the same age. In fact, milk is the richest in protein, which is more suitable for the needs of rapid growth and development of babies.
Therefore, after adding complementary food, the baby still has to drink milk, but gradually reduce the intake of milk, after the age of 1 baby, the amount of milk should also account for more than 30% of the total food intake. Drink at least one bottle of milk in the morning and evening, and the total milk volume is about 500~600 ml a day.
Babies who don't like to drink milk after 1 year old can give their babies some yogurt.
8. Drink plain water often
Baby drinking water is also a university question. Babies who drink water often do not like to get sick, and rarely have constipation and respiratory diseases, because the intake of water is conducive to the body's metabolism.
In fact, babies naturally like sweetness. When feeding your baby boiled water, don't put sugar in it, otherwise the baby will get used to the sweet taste and will not be interested in boiled water.
When the baby does not drink plain water, the mother can think of other ways to solve it, such as replacing the water bottle with a cup for the baby to drink, or feeding the baby with a small spoon, so that the baby can learn to use a straw, these small methods can lure the baby to drink water.
Of course, mothers should also pay attention to the way the baby drinks water, and the method of supplementation should be to increase the number of drinking water appropriately, so that a small amount, many times, and a uniform speed to replenish, rather than a large amount of water at a time.
9. Love to eat vegetables
To make your baby love vegetables, you should familiarize your baby with the taste of vegetables from an early age. When the baby is 6 months old, the mother can puree the boiled potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, etc., which can be eaten alone or mixed with rice noodles to feed the baby.
For a 10-month-old baby, the mother can chop the vegetables finely and mix them into noodles and rotten rice, or mix the vegetables and meat together to make dumplings, buns, etc.
Mothers can also put together a variety of vegetables that can be eaten raw, cut them into delicious pieces for the baby to hold and eat.
10. Eat and chew slowly
Eating too fast, when food is frequently fed into the stomach, the stomach is forced to speed up the digestion of food, which is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Therefore, when the baby eats, let the baby chew slowly. At the age of 6 months - 1 year, it is a critical period for learning to chew, parents must give the baby some teething sticks, toast slices and other foods, so that the baby can learn to chew.
Larger food can transition from pureed to diced, creating opportunities for your baby to chew on the food. In this way, the baby will learn to chew and swallow slowly.
