As the baby grows up, breast milk or milk powder alone can no longer meet his growth needs, so it is necessary to start adding complementary foods.
However, many parents are ignorant of this, and add foods that they think are nutritious but not beneficial to the baby's growth, which delays the critical period of the baby's growth.
A few days ago, when I went to a relative's house for dinner, when the food was served on the table and the chopsticks were started, the relative hurriedly poured a lot of red amaranth soup into the rice of a six-year-old child, and mixed it for the child to eat.
I could see that the child liked to eat very much and had been eating seriously, but I found that she did not eat any food, and the parents did not ask the child to eat.
In fact, there are many parents who do this in life, although their children can eat a bowl of rice every time, but the nutrition is not enough, which will affect development and delay growth. Moreover, if you pour a lot of soup, it is easy for children to swallow it after chewing a few times, which often hurts the spleen and stomach.
Therefore, don't easily give your child rice to make soup, and do it in a variety of ways, otherwise the more you avoid it, the more your child won't like to eat it.
In addition to rice soup, I thought that these 3 kinds of supplementary foods seemed to be nutritious, but in fact, they had already been pulled into the "blacklist", don't give them to the baby.
1. Blanch the vegetable water
Blanched vegetable water is not a "nutritious soup", but dirty water.
When we are cooking, we know that some vegetables need to be blanched with hot water, and many mothers feel that the water that has been blanched contains a lot of nutrients from vegetables, which is a kind of "nutritious water", so they will use this water to make some complementary food for the baby, or feed this water to the baby as supplementary food.
Here, I can only say that Bao Ma has a heart that loves the baby, but she does things that harm the baby.
The nutrients contained in blanched vegetable water are basically negligible, but the amount of pollutants in it cannot be underestimated.
To put it simply, blanching water is actually vegetable washing water, and the main pollutants contained in it are pesticides, as well as dirt on some vegetables, and the so-called nutrition is basically non-existent.
Therefore, letting the baby drink blanched vegetable water is equivalent to "feeding pesticides" to the baby.
Homemade rice noodles
As we all know, rice flour is the first product added by babies, this is because baby rice flour is based on rice, adding iron, calcium, zinc and a variety of vitamins to meet the needs of infant growth in all aspects.
In addition, it is also conducive to intestinal digestion, and it is easy to integrate with various fruit purees, vegetable purees, meat purees, etc., making the nutrition more comprehensive. However, some mothers feel that the baby rice noodles they buy are not safe enough and may add various undesirable additives.
So I thought it would be better to make my own rice noodles, this idea of feeding the baby in person is good, but homemade rice noodles may only be rich in less nutrients contained in rice, do not contain some trace elements, will not be able to meet the baby's growth needs, so it is not recommended to give the baby to eat.
Although the original intention of this practice is to feel healthy, it also needs to consider whether it is rich in nutrition, and the current infant rice noodles are screened by the health organization, and generally will not cause harm to the baby.
3. Honey
Honey is a good thing, high in nutritional value and delicious, but it is very harmful for babies under the age of one. Because the sweetness of honey is very high, the baby does not like to eat anything else after eating, and it is easy to develop a "sweet" taste.
Even if the baby is over one year old, drink less, and occasionally drink a little to taste the taste. Moreover, parents must choose pure honey or children's honey, and do not buy honey foods containing other additives.
Principles of feeding your child complementary foods
1. Give the child a run-in period.
When we add complementary food to children, we only need to add one complementary food at a time, and then we need to observe for about two days to see if the child has allergies, diarrhea and other reactions, and then prepare some fresh food for them.
2. The ingredients should be gradual.
When we choose what to eat for our children, we should choose from thin to thick, from coarse to fine, from liquid to solid food, so as to ensure that children can accept it. If you want to let your child eat hard food at the beginning, then your child will definitely not be able to accept it.
3. Choose the number of feedings according to the time.
When the child is only 6 months old, we should focus on breast milk and then add complementary foods once a day. By the time the child reaches 7 months, we can increase the number of feedings.
On average, you can feed 2 to 3 times a day, but the amount of each time needs to be kept above 500 ml. When the child is 1 or 2 years old, we can let the child eat some adult meals, supplemented by breast milk.
Babies under the age of 3 happen to be the first period of physical and intellectual development. Eating good complementary foods is very important for your child's development. Whether or not supplements are eaten well is related to children's intellectual growth and development, physical development, and immunity. Therefore, if you want to raise a baby who is healthy, smart, with strong immunity, and doesn't like to get sick, a better supplement food book is essential.
