Adding complementary foods is a very important event in the growth of babies, for new moms have a variety of doubts itself is not understandable. In this regard, I have also pushed a number of related types of articles, however, although this kind of topic is repeatedly mentioned, but there are still many moms and dads will be inattentive to fall into the complementary feeding misunderstanding, and often do not know! Like the following 3 kinds of complementary food, in essence, really bad, but there are a lot of mothers mistakenly believe that it is a very good complementary food, but also every day to feed the child to eat – NO1. juice Because the vast majority of the fruit nutritional value is relatively high, so many parents believe that the child to add complementary food, add some fruit juice will be better. Truth: But in fact, fruit juice in the process of juicing will lose a lot of fiber, this practice will make the fruit lose most of the nutritional value. Secondly, many babies try the first mouthful of juice, as if discovering a “new continent”, but also instantly fell in love with this “flavored water”, thus interfering with the baby’s interest in drinking white water, resulting in future oral care, dental protection, have a negative impact. The impact of the baby’s interest in drinking white water. In addition, fruit juice is high in sugar, but also easy to cause dental caries and obesity in babies. There are many mothers think that fruit juice is a beverage, and does not belong to the complementary food, in fact, this perception is also wrong. In the end what is considered complementary foods? Complementary food refers to in addition to breast milk, powdered formula, plain water, the baby to eat all the food. Of course, it also includes fruit juice, soup! NO2.Vegetable water Many mothers consider that vegetable puree is more difficult to digest, or the baby does not like the reason of green vegetables, they think of processing vegetables into vegetable water, or put the vegetables into the water to cook for a few minutes, and then fed to the baby. Truth: But the truth is, whether it is before or after adding supplements, giving babies vegetable water is just a painstaking task. Like the fruit juice above, vegetable water is also a flavored food, once the baby is used to the taste, the acceptance of plain water will be reduced. Secondly, when vegetables are boiled in water, the pesticide residues and oxalic acid contained in the vegetables will be dissolved into the water, while at least 90% of the nutrients of the vegetables are still retained in the vegetables. Feed the baby this kind of vegetable water is not only not nutritious, but also may jeopardize the baby’s health. Knowledge: 1, containing oxalic acid more vegetables are: spinach, amaranth, etc.; 2, containing less oxalic acid vegetables are: large and small cabbage, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, potatoes, sweet peas, radishes, carrots, eggplants, celery stalks, broccoli and so on. NO3. clear thin rice thin rice light and good digestion, and the baby ate will not be on fire, many parents will be thin rice as the baby’s most commonly eaten side dishes. Truth: But in fact, the nutritional density of clear rice is very low, in addition to starch is water, it is difficult to meet the needs of the baby’s growth and development. Moreover, because of the clear thin rice contains a lot of water, the baby ate easy to produce a sense of satiety, will also affect the amount of milk intake. Especially for babies under one year old, the diet should still be based on milk, milk intake is insufficient, will eventually affect the growth and development of the baby. After reading the above introduction of bad complementary foods, there must be a mom to ask, what kind of complementary food is suitable for the baby? Science to add complementary food suggestions: 1, fruit is recommended to eat seasonal fresh fruit, do not juice, do not boil water, do not have to cook or heat. Just add fruit, can be mashed into a puree directly feed; when the baby is a little older, can be cut into small fruit strips, fruit slices, let the baby grasp to eat; 2, to eat vegetables, directly eat vegetable puree, or vegetables directly blanch with boiled water, chopped with a knife, mixed in the rice flour or other complementary foods, rather than drinking vegetable water. Vegetable puree from the root to add, such as potatoes, yams, carrots, pumpkin, etc., and then add leafy vegetables; 3, vegetable puree and puree can be added at the same time, puree is recommended to be added between the two complementary foods; 4, if the fruit itself is very high sweetness is recommended to feed a little less, so as not to affect the taste sensation; 5, feeding babies thin rice is not impossible, but just recommend that mothers do thin rice, appropriate to add some different ingredients For example, egg yolks, minced meat, mushrooms, various seasonal vegetables, etc., boiled into a complementary food porridge, so as to improve its nutritional density. Special reminder: Egg yolk is recommended to be added at the age of 8 months Many parents think that egg yolk is rich in iron, so as soon as the complementary food time to give the baby to eat egg yolk, in fact, the correct time to add egg yolk should be in the baby at the age of 8 months. The first mouthful of complementary food for infants should choose iron fortified baby rice powder. Don’t give your baby salt within 1 year of age Many parents will think that complementary foods are tasteless, especially if the old man is bringing up a child, and think that complementary foods must be salted in order to be eaten. There are even parents who occasionally tease their babies and let them eat heavy adult food, which is a very bad practice! In fact, as long as they are fed normally, infants will not suffer from sodium deficiency. Breastmilk, powdered formula, infant nutritional rice powder, noodles, etc. all contain sodium and do not need to add extra salt.
