Babies drink more broth and are more nutritious

This statement is actually incorrect.

The protein content in the broth is only about 5%, and the fat content in the soup may be as high as more than 30%, and the nutritional value of drinking 6 bowls of chicken soup may not be as high as the value of eating one chicken.

If the child only drinks soup and does not eat anything else, it will lead to a lack of nutrients for him. It will also occupy the stomach and affect the child's appetite for other foods, which is not very good for the baby. Of course, bone broth or broth is not useless, they contain some soluble amino acids and other substances, and they are still very good as a base to enhance the taste of meals every day. But be careful, we must remove the grease from the top during the boiling process.

So it's okay for us to give our children soup, but you have to master a degree.
