Babies enter a new stage of growth from about 6 months onwards, when they start eating complementary foods! But many mothers and fathers are very confused, in the end what is suitable to eat complementary food, what is not suitable? The following is a “blacklist” of supplementary foods for babies, remember not to choose Oh! 1, staple food blacklist staple food, as the name implies, is naturally the main source of energy, used to fill the stomach. Before the age of six months, breast milk or formula is the baby’s staple food; after the addition of complementary foods, cereals, starchy foods will gradually replace the breast milk “staple” of the position. However, granular grains are difficult to digest, so infants are preferred to rice flour and rice paste, then to porridge, and finally to rice. Currently, cereals are becoming more and more refined, and many parents will prefer to give their babies fine rice products. In fact, the surface layer of cereals is rich in vitamins, and fine processing will lose a lot, especially the lack of B vitamins will affect the baby’s nervous system development. In addition, the loss of chromium can also affect the development of baby’s eyesight. Suggestion: When making rice flour and rice paste for babies, you can add wheat, barley, millet and other coarse grains mixed in rice. However, coarse grains themselves are more difficult to digest, homemade coarse grains rice flour is less conducive to the baby’s digestive system; commercially available baby rice flour products are processed and will be more easily digested and absorbed. In addition to the main food, of course, there must also be “dishes”. Here the “dish” refers to the food other than the main food, including meat and vegetarian food, to provide a comprehensive and balanced nutrition for babies. 2, meat blacklist meat and vegetarian nutritional structure is different, can be said to be a “natural pair”, complementary deficiencies, the baby’s complementary food can not be missing, but the following ingredients, 0-1 years old baby’s menu is temporarily can not have. (1) egg whites: egg whites in the protein molecules are small, sometimes through the intestinal wall directly into the infant’s blood, so that the infant’s organism allergic reaction to foreign protein molecules, resulting in eczema, hives, etc.. Forbidden: only after the baby reaches one year old. (2) fish with high mercury content: fish is a very good complementary food ingredients for infants, fish is soft and easy to digest, and are high-quality complete protein, or a high-quality source of DHA that helps brain development. However, some fish, especially marine fish, contain high levels of mercury, which accumulates in fish in the form of methylmercury, which can affect the nervous system of infants and children. Forbidden: When choosing fish as a supplement, avoid choosing fish that are large in size or contain particularly high levels of mercury, such as swordfish, tilapia, catfish, and especially tuna. (3) Seafood: Crab, shrimp and other shelled seafood are most likely to trigger allergies in infants. Forbidden: do not give under 1 year old baby to eat. 3, vegetable blacklist Vegetables and fruits contain more alkaline substances, vitamins and crude fiber, which are also indispensable in the baby’s complementary diet. Fruits and vegetables not only give babies to supplement the lack of nutrients in meat, but also help digestion. Although crude fiber is not a nutrient and cannot be digested and absorbed, it can promote gastrointestinal motility and enhance digestion and excretion. However, there are some fruits and vegetables that should not be added to complementary foods too early. (1) vegetables with high oxalic acid content: spinach, amaranth, etc. contain a large amount of oxalic acid, which is not easily absorbed in the body, and easily combined with calcium into large molecules of calcium carbonate, affecting the baby’s calcium absorption, which can easily lead to the baby’s bones and teeth dysplasia. Forbidden: it is best to add in moderation after the baby is 1 year old, and do not eat with food or calcium preparations with high calcium content. (2) Beans: Some beans contain factors that can cause goiter, and babies are more susceptible to damage during their growth and development. And beans are difficult to cook, difficult to be digested, and easy to cause allergies and toxic reactions. (3) Fruits: Fruits are a great source of vitamin C, and hydrating and appetizing, easy to digest, suitable as a supplement or snack for infants. However, some fruits contain allergy-causing factors that can easily cause allergies, so it is best for babies before the age of 3 not to eat them. Common allergy-prone fruits: mangoes, pineapples, hairy fruits (such as peach, kiwi) 4, drinks blacklist Drinking water for babies also need to be very careful, mineral water, pure water, etc. for babies are not suitable. Infant’s digestive system is not fully developed, poor filtration function, mineral water in the mineral content is too high, easy to cause an increase in osmotic pressure, increasing the burden on the baby’s kidneys; long-term consumption of pure water, easy to make infants lack of certain minerals, and pure water purification and processing of industrial raw materials used, or will have adverse effects on the baby’s body. Forbidden: functional drinks, stimulating drinks Functional drinks contain a lot of electrolytes, the metabolic and excretory functions of infants are not enough to withstand such amounts, which can easily cause damage to the liver and kidney function of infants. Coke, coffee, strong tea and other high-sugar, stimulating beverages, easy to cause tooth decay, but also affect the development of baby’s taste buds, easy to lead to baby picky eater. It should be reminded that many families use water fountains, but water fountains can easily cause secondary contamination of water, for infants with weak resistance, it is best to drink heated plain water.
