After the baby can eat complementary food, parents are eager to give all the delicious food to the baby, the southern parents are good at making soup, so they also give the baby to drink soup, is this good? Is there anything to be said about soup for babies? Mistake 1: give 1 year old baby often drink soup 1 year old baby’s digestive function and chewing function are not yet mature, can not eat too hard food. So some moms do all kinds of soups to the baby as the usual supplement, every day give the baby drink a lot of soup. In fact, the nutritional content of soup is not very high, and babies’ stomachs are very small, so if all of them are occupied by soup, of course, other foods will not be eaten. Therefore, within 1 year old baby is not suitable for often drink soup, occasionally drink a little is okay, but do not as the baby’s usual complementary food, for growing thin baby, more should not drink more soup. In addition, complementary food added period, it is to exercise the baby chewing period, if always drink soup, to exercise chewing is not conducive. Mistake 2: Only give your baby soup not meat Some people think that meat soup tastes delicious, that is because the meat in the long boiling process, a lot of fresh substances will be dissolved into the soup, so the broth will become delicious, but only a small part of the protein, vitamins and calcium and other nutrients dissolved in the soup. The nutrition of meat is much higher than soup, and it can be said that 90% of the nutrition is in meat. Meat is rich in protein, amino acids and phospholipids, which are very important for the growth and development of babies and can strengthen their bodies, help them grow strong and tall, and improve their resistance. If you stew meat soup at home, it is recommended to give your baby meat first, chop the meat, cooked carrots, vegetables, etc. also chopped together and mixed into soft rice, so that every bite of rice that your baby eats contains meat, vegetables and staple food, your baby will feel satisfied after eating and not easy to be hungry. After eating, then give your baby a few sips of soup, the total amount of soup should not be too much, preferably not more than 50 ml. Mistake 3: giving babies soup and rice Some parents mistakenly believe that soup soaked rice, baby better swallowed, nutritious and healthy, but do not know that soup and rice is a very unhealthy way to eat. When eating, we will first fully chew the food in the mouth before swallowing, this action will send a “signal” to the brain, so that the stomach, intestines and other parts of the preparation of food digestion, so that the gastrointestinal can be better digestion and absorption of food. However, the soup soaked rice, soup and rice mixed together, often without chewing directly into the stomach, which increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, so that digestive disorders, affecting the health of the baby’s gastrointestinal tract. Mistake 4: give the baby to drink too hot soup Many mothers have the idea that soup must be hot to drink to taste delicious, especially when it is cold, drink a bowl of steaming soup, but also to warm the baby’s stomach. In fact, babies are much more sensitive to temperature than adults, and sometimes the temperature we feel is right may be too hot for them. Moreover, the baby’s mouth and esophageal mucosa are very delicate, too hot food can easily burn the mouth leading to mouth ulcers, but also stimulate the esophageal mucosa, endangering the baby’s health. Not to mention that the soup with greasy, higher temperature, the baby will be scalded if not careful. It is recommended to let the freshly cooked soup warm up before giving it to your baby. Mistake 5: Putting too much seasoning in the soup Mothers should remember that toddlers are not suitable to be provided with soups and meals that are too heavy in taste, so the type and amount of seasoning should be chosen carefully. If the soup is too salty now, not only will it easily cause discomfort to the baby, they will also easily develop heavy salt eating habits in the future, which are not easy to correct when they grow up, and heavy salt eating habits can easily cause diseases such as high blood pressure. On the other hand, when making soup too much into onions, ginger, wine and other seasonings, will also affect the original flavor of the soup itself, but not delicious. Mistake 6: Give your baby a tonic soup Make soup for your baby, not the more tonic the better. Some big tonic materials, such as ginseng, sea cucumber, longan meat, gum, silver fungus, sea cucumber, cordyceps, bird’s nest, American ginseng, etc., are not suitable for babies. The baby’s stomach and intestines are still delicate, and the food that is highly tonic will only add to the burden on the baby’s stomach and intestines, and may lead to excess nutrition, inducing nosebleeds and premature sexual maturity. 2 small ways to make the soup more delicious 1, to the soup to oil The soup for the baby naturally should not be too greasy, when the mother with chicken, duck, ribs and other meat soup, do not forget to the soup to oil. It is recommended to blanch the meat in boiling water before making the soup, which not only removes the blood, but also removes part of the fat to avoid being too fatty. If there is a layer of oil floating on top of the soup, it is also recommended to use a spoon to scoop it up. 2, add some vegetables or mushrooms to the soup Add some vegetables to the soup, not only the color looks good, but also more nutritious. It is recommended that after the soup is cooked and turned off, sprinkle in some vegetables. If you add some mushrooms to the soup, the taste will be more delicious.
