Eat, but also teach? The answer is not a joke. When babies add food supplements at the beginning, parents must pay attention to the methods, otherwise the children are easily caught and dangerous.
The process by which a person eats a semi-solid or solid food, including the chewing of teeth, the tongue stirring the food and pushing it to the oropharynx, then swallowing. During swallowing, a small piece of cartilage at the trachea opening (called epiglottic cartilage) will automatically cover the tracheal orifice in reverse to prevent food from falling into the trachea and causing it to cough.
The whole process of eating involves the coordinated action of more than 30 muscles associated with the oral cavity and its surroundings, and its coordination depends on the control of the brain. This ability to control the brain is not all born to have, a considerable part depends on acquired training. The core of this training is to form the conditioned reflex needed for eating.
Therefore, almost four months after the child's birth, when the parents first started feeding the baby semi-solid (paste, mud) food with a spoon, almost every baby would use the tongue to push out or spit out the food. Sometimes it doesn't top out, but it's similar to a worm-like appearance when swallowing. These phenomena are due to the fact that the conditioned reflex associated with the synergy of swallowing has not yet formed.
However, after multiple trial feedings, the above situation will gradually improve until the child can swallow [skillfully] semi-solid foods. The time required to get familiar with eating is different for each child. Some children adapt after several trial feedings, while others take up to one or two months to learn to eat.
Children's movements (motions) and intelligent development have a crucial moment for the completion of the development of each major project, and it will be difficult to study after this critical moment. For example, the key moments of language development are between 1 and 3 years old. After that, there will be obstacles to study again (not including foreign language learning), and even learning will not speak. Chewing a critical moment for the development of swallowing action, 4-12 months after birth. Delaying the feeding of semi-solid and solid foods will cause difficulties in completing this action.
This situation occurs clinically in two parents fed children. The first type, when the first test feeding, see the baby put out or spit out the semi-solid food, they mistakenly believe that they do not want to eat or dislike, they give up after a few times, or they are afraid when they see the child's performance. Should grow up and then feed the paste. In the second category, breastmilk is adequate, and children who do not need food supplements such as glutinous rice will grow up. When they are 1 year old, they will give porridge and rice cereal after weaning. At this time, the children are more difficult to adapt to swallowing solid foods.
The consequences of delaying semi-solid, solid foods are:
1. Missed the critical moment, as the age increases, the difficulty of feeding training will increase.
2. The child has a mental disorder because of the [hee hee] to produce a fear of rejection or even rejection of solid food.
3. Malnutrition and even growth retardation due to insufficient food intake.
Therefore, reasonable feeding should add various types of foods (rice paste, batter) from the first 4 months of the baby's life, and gradually add various protein-rich foods (yolk, fish paste, minced meat, etc.). After teething, it is also necessary to give slices of soft bread or steamed bread, and add crushed vegetables inside the porridge to train children to chew. In this way, children can successfully transition to adult diets and ensure nutrient supply.
