The first 1000 days of life, determine the health of the child’s life!

The Report on the Nutritional Development of Children Aged 0 to 6 Years in China combs through the data of nutritional surveys and monitoring of children aged 0 to 6 years in China over the past three decades, and proposes that the early 1000 days of life is the most critical period in determining the nutritional and health status of children throughout their lives. The 1000 days of early life – the fetal period + the number of days between the child’s birth and two years old – is almost 1000 days. This period determines the health of the child for life! The foundation for a person’s health begins when he or she is still a fertilized egg. Once the embryo is formed it depends on the mother to provide nutrients to support its growth, and this is when many nutrients are needed. In addition to folic acid supplementation, many pregnant mothers also need to pay attention to iron and calcium supplementation. Because the nutrients in a pregnant mother’s body are given priority to the fetus, many pregnant women who do not increase their iron intake in their diet are prone to iron deficiency, which affects the development of the baby. The fetus grows bones and teeth especially fast after five months, which is a period of rapid calcification, and the demand for calcium simply increases dramatically, so pregnant mothers must pay attention to calcium and iron supplementation. In addition to regular monitoring of physical condition and physical nutrition, pregnant mothers should also pay attention to supplementing “psychological nutrition”. A happy and stable mood is good for the health of the mother and child; negative emotions can aggravate the pregnancy reaction, make the pregnant woman’s appetite decline, affect the fetus’ nutritional intake, thus affecting the development of the fetus’ body and nervous system. And the fetus can feel the mother’s emotions, because after the pregnant woman’s mood anxiety, the body adrenaline and other hormones rise, which can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. If the mother’s adrenaline is high for a long time, the fetal adrenaline secretion will also be abnormal, affecting the blood oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus. Therefore, pregnant mothers must take good mental health care. Pay attention to these points to better help develop your child’s eating behavior: 1. Develop a regular mealtime, never increase the number of times you offer food and suppress your child’s appetite because he or she eats less at meals. For example, for 11-month-old children, the number of milk intake is 2-3 times, and solid food is 2-3 times; for example: breakfast is arranged for milk + buns or buns or egg cakes; 9:00 pm: snack is fruit (50-100 grams); 12:00 pm: Chinese food is soft rice + minced vegetables + minced meat; 3:00 pm: snack is milk; 6:00 pm: dinner is noodles + minced vegetables + minced liver or fish. 8:30 pm: milk for bedtime; 2. Meals are encouraged, without any distractions, such as playing with toys or watching TV. Demonstrate the child to learn to chew and swallow solid food to promote the eruption of milk teeth; 3. Mealtime should be a process of interactive communication, observing the child’s needs, discouraging bad behavior and encouraging reinforcement of good behavior; 4. Control mealtime within half an hour. A child’s regular gastrointestinal peristaltic emptying, digestive juices secretion and hunger can not be developed overnight, it takes some time, as long as patient and persistent, 2 weeks can develop good eating behavior and produce a good appetite. About 60% of children who go to the clinic for dwarfism have a tendency to be picky eaters or partial eaters. How to overcome these bad eating habits? 1. First of all, from a young age, parents must establish a strict code of behavior in the family and not overindulge. Parents, especially grandparents, must understand the dangers, once the formation of bad habits in childhood, it is more difficult to correct them after adulthood; 2, parents should be patient to teach, so that children understand the harmful effects of these bad habits; 3, parents to strengthen communication between parents, such as parents and grandparents, grandma and grandpa to form a unified understanding and reach ” united front”, otherwise these rules can easily collapse on their own or be clever and clever children “broken”; 4, parents should set an example, it is clear that a pair of parents who overeat, drink and smoke can teach a “little gentleman It is not very likely that a pair of parents who binge drink and smoke can teach a “little gentleman”; 5, all the rules and requirements must be persistent. What should I do if my child refuses to sleep at night without milk and cries all the time? The child is fed on demand before 3 months, and after 3 months you can gradually establish a routine of feeding on time. The child’s sleep cycle is 1 hour, and after waking up he or she blinks and blinks and goes back to sleep. Check on your child every minute after he or she wakes up to make sure it’s safe, and tell him or her, “Baby, you have to sleep by yourself. There are ways to coax a child to sleep, first by understanding the child’s needs, sometimes by your voice, sometimes by a gentle touch, until the child falls asleep on his own. Never feed your child as soon as he or she cries, as this will create a habit of eating milk with sleep. It is the patience of adults that is tested by children crying, and some mothers are distressed that their children are crying themselves hoarse. It’s okay to cry, it will be fine. In fact, when a child cries, it’s not the child but the adult’s patience that is tested, just like the child’s nutrition, the key is also in the adult. When a child is 6 months old, he or she will be able to “look at the face”, and this is the time to start establishing rules. Encourage moms and dads to let their children grow up in a balance of freedom and discipline, to make rules, but not too many, 1 to 2 rules as a child is enough, to develop rules for eating and sleeping, other can give the child a choice, such as what to wear, too many rules will suppress the child’s creativity. Cold and fever is the process of strengthening the child’s resistance. General baby fever can be used to ice, with a zipper plastic bag with ice, wrapped in a clean towel ice packs on the whole body, 30 minutes must reduce fever. If the cold is not feverish, let the child hang the nose no matter, a few days to get well. Do not believe that any medicine can cure the cold. Abuse of antibiotics cost money, not to mention the more terrible is the body of bacteria war stored in a variety of poison more and more, periodically need to hang water to press down. For babies to be healthy, it is necessary to take a bath every day. Their resistance is ten times stronger than that of adults, and they will not catch a cold. Baby bathing as much as possible with water, and then the brand-name baby products are not as good as water, do not use any body wash, shampoo, water is the best! If you must use it, you should use body wash once a week. When your baby is playing with toys or watching TV or reading picture books, ask your aunt or anyone in the house not to interrupt them. Cultivating children’s concentration is the same as cultivating their attention to do anything when they grow up. The elders who shout and tease their children and think they are smart enough to ask questions while watching TV are the most feared. Shut up and be quiet, please. Give your child an environment to focus. Chinese parents have more than enough manners and too little guts. “Don’t move, it’s dangerous, stand up, the floor is dirty, don’t touch it, it will sting …… No this, no that” American parents most often say “Try it! Encourage your baby, as long as it is not life-threatening, don’t stop your child from using their little hands to try and understand the world. It’s not a big deal if their clothes get dirty, if they roll around on the floor for a short period of time, if their food grains and soup turn up on the floor, it’s a big deal if they sweep them up and learn to eat early or even use chopsticks, if they play with water, it’s a big deal if they catch a cold, if they play with sand, it’s a big deal if they get into their shoes, it’s hard to clean. In short, there are many rules and regulations that prevent children from being happy, prompting our little angels to become adults more and more quickly, into obedient and understanding children. Happiness first matters, dirty clothes don’t matter, as long as there is no life threatening, don’t stop your child. The incidence of childhood cancer has been increasing year by year in recent years. Some studies point out that this may be related to the pollution of the living environment, which includes the attack of cancer-causing factors in the mother’s womb, thus, the idea of paying attention to cancer prevention from the mother’s womb has received widespread attention. If a fetus in the womb is exposed to higher concentrations of estrogen in daily life, whether exogenous (e.g., pharmaceuticals) or endogenous, it may develop breast cancer later in life. Estrogen concentrations tend to increase with the age of the mother’s pregnancy; in other words, older pregnant women have significantly more total estrogen concentrations than younger pregnant women. Prevention: To prevent breast cancer, pregnant women should deliberately avoid a high estrogen environment from the fetal stage, including not being too old at birth, not eating too much fatty foods during pregnancy, and not taking estrogen-containing supplements. Some data show that the incidence of stillbirths, stillbirths and malformations do not differ from normal in environments with light noise levels, but when the noise level is greater than 100 decibels, stillbirths, stillbirths and malformations all increase with higher noise levels. By 32 weeks, the fetus hearing is close to adults, external noise can significantly interfere with the fetus sleep, rest, is not conducive to its growth and development, 10 minutes of continuous loud sound may make the fetus blood pressure rise, cardiovascular changes. Prevention: Therefore, pregnant women who live in a noisy environment for a long time is not only harmful to their own health, but also to the normal growth and development of the fetus. Pregnant women should reduce their exposure to noise as much as possible to ensure their health and the normal development of the fetus. Recent studies have shown that pesticides are harmful to eugenics. Such as organochlorine, organic mercury, trichlorfon, DDT, etc., can enter the fetus through the placenta by the mother, causing fetal growth and development defects. Many international studies have shown that childhood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma and brain tumors are associated with pesticide exposure. If children are exposed to pesticides from their mothers during fetal life, and then ingest pesticides through contaminated water and pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables after birth, and the cells are in a period of vigorous division and proliferation, and the child’s ability to detoxify is very insufficient, the carcinogenic effects can be imagined. Prevention: In order to prevent the harm of pesticides to the fetus, pregnant women should avoid engaging in the production, transportation, storage, sales and use of pesticides, especially in early pregnancy to avoid exposure to pesticides. Children should pay attention to repeated washing when eating fruits and vegetables to keep the residual pesticides from entering their bodies.
