“What should children eat?†“What can I eat to make my child better?†“What foods should be eaten and what should not be eaten?â€
Regarding children’s “eatingâ€, many mothers have long focused on “what to eat for childrenâ€. In fact, nutritionists tell us that “how to eat†is far more important than “eating anythingâ€. Allowing children to eat scientifically is more likely to find food for him than to change the pattern every day. It can also help children develop healthy eating habits from an early age.
Keyword 1 - complementary food addition
When should complementary foods be added?
Wan Yiyi: Its realization began slowly in the United States and European countries to promote complementary food supplementation for six months, including changes in our country. I advocate adding supplementary foods later, but it should not be too late. If it hasn't been added in 8 months, it will affect the children's taste and chewing function. But I do not recommend adding supplementary food in 4 months. At 4 months, you can let your child taste the taste, feel a soft, hard, sweet, salty, cool, hot, formally add or go to 6 Months later.
Wang Yuxi: It is during the period of 4-6 months after birth that the baby's taste buds are most sensitive to development. The baby is easy to accept various tastes, and if it is missed, it may cause feeding difficulties after weaning. The timely addition of complementary foods can supplement the nutritional needs of the baby's growth and development, while also exercising the baby's chewing, swallowing, and digestive abilities, promoting the baby's tooth development, and also preparing for the future weaning. Therefore, it is very important to add complementary foods at the right time.
Tips
The World Health Organization recommends that infants who are exclusively breastfed can add supplementary foods after 6 months; for mixed or artificially fed babies, it is recommended to add complementary foods at 4-6 months. That is to say, if the mother's milk is sufficient, the time for adding the food may be slightly delayed; if it is insufficient, it is also necessary to add milk powder as a supplement, so it may be appropriate to add the food supplement slightly earlier.
However, there is a difference in the individual development of each baby, whether it is necessary to add complementary foods, not to look at the month card, and 6 months is not a hard indicator, but to see if the baby is ready to accept complementary food. International Breastfeeding recommends that mothers observe the following "ready" signs:
1. The baby has the ability to express rejection, that is, when the baby does not want to eat, close the mouth and turn his head to tell his mother, "I don't want to!" If the baby does not have such abilities, you are merely sipping something he does not need into a baby who cannot resist you.
2. The baby can sit without his aid and his neck can stand upright.
3. The baby's tongue evacuates the reflex and disappears and has swallowing ability.
4. The baby showed great interest in eating for adults and was able to reach out and grab food.
4 to 6 months is just a time range, not to say that the addition must be 4 months or 6 months. Because the initial addition of complementary food, it will take almost 1 to 2 months to succeed. In this process, you have to start a “tug-of-war†battle with your child, so it is very likely that you will start to add food supplements in 4 months, but it is only 6 months before the children actually accept it.
Keywords 2 to weaning
When should breast milk be broken?
Wan Yiyi: After 1 year of age, it is not that breast milk is not nutritious, but simple breast milk is insufficient to meet the child's nutritional needs. Therefore, other foods should be added at this time to meet the child's physical development and nutritional needs. But if you haven’t been weaned since the age of two, you’ll have to reflect on it. There’s just not too much opportunity for children to reach the community.
Children's feeding is also a need for a sense of security. Even if we break our milk, we must let her feel that my mother still loves him. At the same time, because of his contact with the society, he is not simply focusing on the mother alone, so that the children themselves do not eat. Milk's desire. Do not forcibly wean.
Wang Yuxi: This issue is related to the addition of food supplements. Generally speaking, there are two situations in which complementary foods are often added: First, they are in a hurry for success, and the mother wants the baby to be physically strong, regardless of the baby’s digestive abilities, blindly adding. Complementary food, resulting in baby indigestion or even anorexia; the other is the mother not enough attention to the complementary food, think that their milk is adequate, add supplementary food is too much trouble, 8-9 months baby only feed breast milk, so it is prone to baby anemia Concerns have also increased the difficulty for future weaning. Therefore, mothers should understand the significance of adding complementary foods for babies and learn to add supplementary foods scientifically.
The addition of breastmilk to baby food supplements should be done in parallel. It is not because of the broken breasts that they started to eat complementary foods, but they had already eaten well before the broken breast milk supplement food. Therefore, there is no obvious change in the complementary food before and after the interruption of breast milk, and weaning should not affect the baby's normal complementary food.
If the mother's breastmilk is sufficient, the baby is willing to eat anything other than breastmilk, and it is not necessary to forcibly interrupt the breastmilk. It is natural that the child is completely weaned until about 2 years old. If the baby refuses to eat anything other than breast milk, it may be considered to be completely weaned when the baby is about 1 year old.
Keywords 3 to cooking
Which cooking method is more suitable for the child's stomach?
Wan Yiyi: Children's cooking is to be soft and rotten. I like to stew my children and stew their meat and vegetables together. This way, meat and vegetables are more rotten and easy to absorb, and the children can also eat soup. Of course, I will also cook for children, but it must be broken.
For different cooking methods, I feel that I can let the children accept more. At first, it is simpler. The complexity is gradually letting the child gradually accept it. When a child is 1 year old, the type of diet can be the same as adults, but the way of eating is still very different. The spleen and stomach of a 1-year-old child is still weak, and the teeth are not full, and the food is still light, soft and rotten. 1 to 2 years old, 80% of the liquid semi-liquid diet, 20% of solid foods, especially for the spleen and stomach weak baby, solid food is added later.
Tips
Do not eat a lot of fruit in the winter and eat more in the summer, but not too much. Winter is relatively cold. If you eat fruits in winter, you must warm it. Generally recommended two meals to eat fruit. If you eat fruit before eating, your child may not be able to eat. If you only eat grains, you can be very healthy, but eating only fruits will be unhealthy. Therefore, fruits are not recommended before meals.
Wang Yuxi: The cooking style will directly affect the child's acceptance of things. Sometimes the baby hates certain foods. Sometimes it is not his taste but the cooking method. If you like biting and chewing foods after teething, you will refuse to eat apple puree, you may wish to change into apple slices; colorful foods can promote your baby's appetite, too cold or too hot food will make your baby feel scared. In addition, the taste should not be too strong, to avoid irritating food, the food should be cut easily so that young children can enter, and the shape must also change frequently to increase the baby's interest in eating.
If the baby really does not like certain foods, try to find replacement foods with similar nutrient content and more patience. For the baby, the food supplement is fresh, foods that are not currently accepted may be accepted later, so mothers should have patience to try more, as long as the baby is healthy and healthy, and the growth situation is in line with the growth curve in the baby's health handbook. Even if you eat less, you don't have to worry about it. Just go with it.
Keywords 4 to protect stomach
What kind of diet can protect your child's delicate stomach?
Wan Yiyi: The baby does not like to eat. In fact, the food he makes with her mother is delicious and has no nutrition. The relationship is not great. The key question is whether or not to focus on the spleen and stomach of the child during the initial period. Children rarely have a weak spleen and stomach, and most of them are spoiled by their parents.
For example, some mothers give their children the yoghurt they just brought out of the refrigerator. It is very cold, only a few degrees. The spleen and stomach damage to the child is very large. Mothers always think that probiotics have no effect when they are hot. In fact, cold foods have far more serious damage to the stomach than probiotics, and it is hard to say how effective these probiotics can be.
This requires mothers to work hard on their baby's cooking, carefully bringing up the spleen and stomach of the children. The meals should be soft, fine, rotten, warm, light, cool, not eaten, and hard not to eat. At the same time, we must pay attention to nutritional balance, eat everything, not eat too much or eat too little, but do not eat junk food.
Keywords 5 - eating habits
How to cultivate children's good eating habits?
Wan Yiyi: For babies, how to eat is more important than what to eat. I wonder if my mother had noticed that the baby in the city seemed to eat better and the delicacies of the delicacies were still plentiful. However, it was still a feeding difficulty and even sickly. The children in rural areas have limited types of food, and they can be as healthy and lively as they are.
The types of food we were able to eat as a child were limited, but they were still healthy and there was no malnutrition. In fact, the nutrients that our body needs, the basic food in the grain can meet the nutritional needs of our body, and then we can properly eat some other foods to supplement, such as vegetables, meat and so on.
Therefore, the key issue is not what the baby eats, but how you can feed it so that the baby can fully absorb and utilize the nutritious food. Therefore, it is fundamental to develop good eating habits.
Generally do not love to eat baby can be divided into two types,
1. spoiled baby
Don't eat at table, eat and respect meals. The baby has to eat regularly, eating time is relatively fixed. If it is time to eat, the baby will not eat or force it. My oldest daughter had picky eaters for some time. She didn't like to eat. I told her that if you didn't eat for a while, you wouldn't be. You wouldn't eat if you were hungry. After experiencing it once, she knew that she had to eat at dinner, otherwise she would be hungry.
2 weak stomach baby
The key is to maintain the child's delicate spleen and stomach. Just mentioned how to protect your baby's stomach. When you need special attention, the baby usually eats less when he has a weak spleen and stomach, and he must not cough at this time.
Wang Yuxi: When children eat, they must be arranged in a quiet place, so that the children's attention is not dispersed. Parents should pay attention to language and behavioral implications. Do not say in front of children: I do not like to eat XX, so that children are also prone to disgust XX thinking and cannot develop the habit of picking up a partial eclipse. It is necessary to gradually cultivate good habits for children to eat independently, so that children can take the process of eating as a good opportunity for learning skills, and give timely praise to children who eat well.
Keywords 6 ~ mother's mentality
Children do not love to eat, what should mothers pay attention to?
Wan Yiyi: When the child does not like to eat, the first thing Mum wants to do is to seriously self-reflection, find out the reason for the child’s anorexia, and prescribe the right medicine. This is the most important thing. If forcibly stuffed, the baby will get sick easily. Children can not eat to heart, children too can eat but also heart.
Some parents are too careful and careful, always afraid of unsanitary, do not allow children to eat and eat that, do not let the children touch this touch that the child can not go to the sand to play with a lot of bacteria. In fact, bacteria are ubiquitous and children cannot live in a vacuum. Let him gradually integrate into a large environment, let him learn to run in the run, learn to climb in the climb, in the process of slowly and the flora of the natural contact, he can build her resistance.
What needs special attention is that especially during the baby's illness, the mother is even more worried about being overconfident because of nervousness, fearing that the baby is undernourished, and forcibly feeding. For example, when a child develops diarrhea, it usually requires a light diet, but grandparents are always afraid of undernutrition. If the illness is not enough, the child is given meat. As a result, the diarrhea is worsened and the disease is delayed.
In fact, during the child's illness, the key for the mothers to do is to allow the baby to have a full stomach rest, let him recover as soon as possible to restore the child's diet, not to destroy this balance during illness.
