The Chinese New Year is basically over, every festive season fat three pounds of the spell, you have not been hit? Not to mention these sad things, we still go back to the baby feeding above. During the Chinese New Year period, we still received some messages from mothers who were allergic to their babies’ complementary foods, so can we write an article about highly allergenic foods, so that we can be more cautious when adding complementary foods to our babies? Today we will pick up those foods that are highly allergenic. The first in line is the milk that does nothing Besides allergies, milk can also be lactose intolerant. Therefore, try not to give milk to babies under 1 year old. Some statistics show that the chances of giving your baby milk allergies after the age of 1 will be reduced by half compared to the age of 1. By the time they are 4-6 years old, 85% of babies will not be allergic to milk. If your baby is indeed allergic to milk, all dairy products should be included in the prohibited items, as well as cakes, bread, milk chocolate, etc. Some parents think of using goat’s milk instead of cow’s milk, but goat’s milk also has the risk of allergies and is low in folic acid and iron, which may affect the child’s development. Eggs and egg products Basically, 1 in 20 children with allergies are allergic to eggs. Both egg whites and egg yolks contain protein, and egg yolks contain more fat and cholesterol. When adding eggs, add the egg yolk first, feeding 1/6 to 1/4 egg yolk per day at first, and pay attention to the baby’s stool after feeding. If the stool is normal, you can gradually increase the amount, gradually transitioning to 1/2, and after 3 to 4 weeks you can feed one per day. If the egg yolk is well adapted, you can try egg whites. Peanuts and other nuts Just after the Chinese New Year, I’m sure there are peanuts, melon seeds, pistachios, etc. in stock at home. Many parents know that they should not easily give their babies this kind of food, it is easy to get stuck in the throat. In fact, nuts may cause allergies, especially peanuts, is the most common allergy food. Some parents say that peanut grains are so small, who would give them to their babies for no reason, let alone allergies. But do not forget that there are too many processed peanut foods on the market, peanut butter, peanut oil, cookies, chocolate bars, candy, etc. may contain peanuts. Fish We encourage the addition of fish to babies, but fish is also an allergenic food, so it is better to be cautious when adding it, especially sea fish. However, some babies may only be allergic to certain kinds of fish, but not others, so even if they are allergic, it is not all fish can not be eaten. Crustaceans Unlike fish, crustaceans like shrimp, clams, crabs, scallops, as long as there is one allergy, basically the others may be allergic too. So when adding them, be careful and watch your baby. Wheat Wheat can also be allergic? Is this a joke? The protein contained in wheat is gluten, which is not easily digestible and may even cause gluten-sensitive enteropathy. So when adding wheat-based foods to your baby, parents should watch carefully to avoid allergies or intolerances. Soybeans Soybeans are less likely to be allergic than several other foods. But once your baby develops an allergy, tofu, soybean oil, tempeh, etc. should be avoided. How can I identify allergic foods? How can I determine which food is still causing my baby’s allergy after he or she has eaten many foods? First of all, what we always advocate is to add complementary foods little by little, letting your baby get used to each food for about 3 days before adding another one. This way, it is also convenient for us to find out which is the culprit of baby’s allergy. For babies with a wide variety of complementary foods, it is best for parents to keep track of what their babies are eating. What new foods have been added? If you find that your baby has an allergy, think about what new foods have been added, don’t eat them for a while, and only eat the foods that you used to eat and didn’t cause allergies. If your baby has mild food allergies, avoid the intake of allergic foods and the symptoms will usually disappear in three days. If you have severe allergies, rashes, diarrhea, etc., it is best to see a doctor.
