With the improvement of living standards, parents now provide their babies with sufficient food to ensure nutritional intake, but due to some congenital factors and the problem of feeding, it is also very easy for babies to malnutrition, and this situation is mostly found in the age of 1 year, usually due to the addition of complementary food is not reasonable caused. The addition of complementary foods is not only we usually imagine that breast milk is not enough to eat, add some food as simple, baby complementary foods added early and late, the taboo diet, the type and shape of food, will play a vital role in the health of the baby! Baby add complementary food four taboos: 1, not too early just left the mother’s baby, digestive organs are very delicate, digestive glands are not developed, poor secretion function, many digestive enzymes have not yet formed at this time does not have the function of digesting complementary foods. If premature addition of complementary foods, will increase the burden on the baby’s digestive function, digestive complementary foods are not retained in the abdomen “fermentation”, resulting in bloating, constipation, anorexia, is to increase intestinal peristalsis, so that the amount and number of ambassadors increased, finally leading to diarrhea. Therefore, within four months of birth of infants avoid adding complementary foods too early. 2, avoid too late Some parents are afraid that the child can not digest, too cautious about adding complementary foods. The child has long passed four months. Still just eat breast milk or milk, milk powder. Do not know that the child has grown up, the need for nutrition, energy increased, just eat breast milk or milk powder can not meet its growth and development needs, should be reasonable to add complementary foods. At the same time, the child’s digestive organs have gradually become sound, and the taste organs have also developed, so they have the conditions to add complementary foods. In addition, at this time, the child’s immunity from the mother has been basically depleted, and its own resistance is needed to increase nutrition to produce, at this time, if not added in a timely manner, the child’s growth and development will not only be affected, but also due to the lack of resistance and lead to disease. Therefore, after four months of life, children should begin to add appropriate complementary foods. 3, avoid excessive children can add complementary foods, but the digestive organs are still very tender can not be rushed, should be added gradually depending on the situation of its digestive function. If added arbitrarily, it will also cause indigestion or obesity in children. Let children do as they wish, what to eat to give what, how much to give how much and will cause nutritional imbalance, and develop partiality, picky eating and other bad eating habits, it can be seen that adding too much complementary food is also inappropriate. 4, avoid too fine Some parents are too cautious to give their children to eat homemade complementary foods or commercially available nutritious food for infants are very fine, so that the child’s chewing function is not properly trained, is not conducive to the eruption of its teeth and the alignment of teeth after the eruption of food is not chewed will not produce taste both to whet the appetite of children. It is also not conducive to the development of the sense of taste, cheek development is also affected. Thus, the child can only eat porridge and noodles, will not eat dishes, the production of a little negligence, will be nausea and vomiting, so simply do not eat or eat also to vomit slag. In the long run, the child’s growth certainly will not be ideal, but also affect the development of brain intelligence. Three characteristics of a well-nourished infant: Of course, a healthy and energetic child is bound to exhibit the characteristics of a well-nourished child. These characteristics can be expressed in three areas: 1, height and weight: the normal growth and development of the human body, especially height and weight, certainly affected by the diet, this is a well-known fact. If young children are well-nourished, the body’s development will certainly be in line with the general rule. For example, the weight of young children, roughly in line with the following formula: weight (kg) = age × 2 + 8; height of young children, roughly in line with the following formula: height (cm) = age × 5 + 75. from the relationship between nutrition and health, in line with the standard height and weight, at least some sign of health. 2, the ability to resist disease After birth, infants and children are brought from the mother to resist disease antibodies are consumed about 6 months after birth, so six months after birth various infectious diseases are likely to occur. In order to prevent infectious diseases, infants and toddlers are given various preventive injections, which are commonly known as immunization shots. For a well-nourished child, this will play an important role in fighting infectious diseases. However, for a small and weak child, the preventive effect will be limited. 3, intelligence The nutritional status of early childhood has a great impact on intelligence. Children who are not fed properly have very low intelligence. Some scholars have observed the behavioral characteristics of malnourished and normally nourished infants and children, and there are obvious differences between the two in “long-distance interaction”. Those with normal nutrition can play alone away from their mothers and interact with children with their eyes, voice, smile and gestures. Those who are malnourished have poor ability to interact at a distance, are timid and inactive, cannot leave their mothers, and use less language and symbols. What should I pay attention to when adding complementary foods to my baby? 1, to add according to the baby’s age on schedule. 2, the amount of added should be from less to more, from one to many. 3, after adding complementary foods to pay attention to observe the baby’s skin to see if there is an allergic reaction, such as skin redness, swelling, eczema, should stop adding this complementary food. In addition, also pay attention to observe the baby’s stool, such as abnormal stool should also be suspended to add this complementary food, to be normal stool, no indigestion symptoms, and then gradually add, but the amount should be small. 4, pay attention to hygiene. It is best to add complementary foods to the baby now eat now do, such as can not eat now do, should also be re-boiled food. Adding complementary food utensils should often be disinfected to prevent viruses from invading the baby’s body and causing disease. 5, milk food is the main food for infants, but as the infant organism grows up, the need to add complementary foods should be timely. The baby’s digestive tract is tender and weak, so if you don’t add too much complementary food according to the child’s age and actual needs, or if the baby is sick and still eats as usual, it can cause indigestion and vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, be very careful when adding complementary foods, should not be engaged in arbitrary. 6, according to the baby’s digestive power and nutritional needs, adding complementary foods should gradually increase the variety. First try one, and then add another after 3-4 days or a week of infant adaptation. The amount from less to more, from light to thick. When the weather is too hot, infants are prone to digestive problems, you can hold off adding new foods, and then gradually add them when the weather is a little cooler. After each addition of new food, should pay close attention to its digestive situation, such as the discovery of stomach dull, vomiting, stool abnormalities or other circumstances, should be suspended to feed such complementary food. When the gastrointestinal function returns to normal, then feed from the beginning of the amount or a smaller amount. If the child is ill, all kinds of complementary foods should be stopped and resumed after healing.
