At present, many parents in China there was some misunderstanding in terms of feeding the baby, and most typical to the number of the following 4 aspects.
Myth 1: egg alternative staple food
Traditional view is that eggs contain the nutrient components of a comprehensive and more convenient to baby eating, is a good food for children. In General, after the babies from 4 months of gradual, regular consumption of eggs, but it is important to note that gradual, cannot place undue emphasis on quantity and speed, it is better to let your baby eat one-fourth egg yolk, then one-second, 3/4, and then a gradual transition to eat an egg.
However, eggs more nutritious, too many irreplaceable staple food consumption.
Reason:
First, staple foods generally refers to cooked rice and pasta, its principal constituent is carbohydrates, which are both economic and direct conversion of heat of nutrition.
From the physical structure of the human body, carbohydrates are needed to our body\'s main \"basic material\".
From the perspective of digestive tract, a reasonable diet, a person needs total heat 50%~60% of the day came from carbohydrates. Compared with eggs and abundant fish and meat rich food, rice and pasta will not only be much more easy to digest, but also with other nutrients in food that cannot be replaced. Therefore, in any country, rice, pasta kind of cereal are reasonable dietary basis.
Second, a person, not eating an egg, the more the better. If long-term excessive intake of protein, nutrition cannot be fully absorbed not only use, but also may cause indigestion, loss of appetite, constipation, gastrointestinal diseases, such as bad breath, tongue coating thickening, increase ammonia class of toxic by-products in the body, increasing the burden of liver and kidney, increase calcium excretion, ultimate health. And for digestive enzymes of gastrointestinal function is poor, little baby, and even more so.
Expert advice: while the eggs are nutritious, but not too much as a staple food for consumption, in General, 1 per day. And must give the baby a day add enough carbohydrates, that is to have the baby eating some rice and pasta, so as to give the baby to provide adequate heat sources.
Myth 2: fruit alternative vegetable
Period of strong growth and development of infants and young children are in, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables, is very important to good health, increase resistance to disease, is baby indispensable daily food.
In General, contains some of the essential nutrients in fruits, also has the characteristics of raw food easy, baby loves to eat, so some parents mistakenly believe that fruit can instead of vegetables, especially for babies do not eat vegetables, always let them eat fruit like a dog. In fact, this understanding is not scientific.
Reason:
From a nutrition point of view, contained in fruit nutrition is far behind that of the vegetables. By Apple and vegetables, for example, calcium content of both is 1:8, iron 1:10, carotene content of 1:25, we can see that in one-day diet plan, green leafy vegetables are essential.
Cellulose contained in vegetables has a very important physiological role in the human body. Constantly chewing fibers, can promote the secretion of digestive juice a lot, and especially for sensitizing the pancreatic secretion, conducive to digestion and absorption of fat food; some baby poor appetite are often associated with lack of cellulose vegetable eating too little, the body concerned. Cellulose also can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, keep the stool smooth to avoid constipation, which reduces stool in the intestines of time, thereby reducing toxic substances stimulating.
Baby appropriate eating fruit is good for the body, but if you eat too much, would increase the burden on the digestive organs, easily lead to dysfunction of digestion and absorption. According to experts, some babies bad for fructose absorption contained in fruits, be discharged from the kidneys. From the perspective of fruit characteristics, some fruit to eat much can affect health, such as oranges ate much easier to \"put fire\", causing fecal dry; PEAR will eat a lot of damage of spleen-stomach; Litchi appears eating too much cold extremities weakness, sweating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, two types of food can only be complementary fruits, vegetables, can be neglected, and cannot replace each other.
Expert recommends: regardless of domestic or foreign, diet Pyramid recommends setting will be 3:1 reasonable intake of vegetables and fruits, up to 3:2, that is, vegetable intake should be more than fruit. Therefore, it is important to best developed when young and baby vegetables complex, especially love of yellow-green vegetables. For those who don\'t like to eat vegetables \"hardcore\" babies, mothers must use your head, changes of vegetable cooking way, stimulate baby\'s interest in vegetables.
Myth 3: beverage alternative water
At present, carbonated drinks, fruit juices, jellies have become mainstream urban baby consumption, some babies do not drink a day not, like the sweet and sour taste on the one hand, on the other, many parents wrong ideas, makes a lot of babies aged from one to two developed a preference for drinking habits from the start.
Common beverage on the market in General is divided into 3 types:
· Carbonated beverage
To sugar, flavors, pigments made with water, some of which also have caffeine in beverage, drink refreshing and sweet taste, very suitable for baby\'s tastes. But drink too much will not only let the baby too much sugar intake, and carbonate will produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, the baby adversely affects the body\'s internal environment, at the same time also influence satiety and appetite. Excessive drinking of carbonated beverages, baby can also cause loss of calcium in the body. Research shows that, in preference for carbonated drinks in the baby, about 60% effects due to calcium deficiency and normal development. Especially the Cola drink, high phosphorus content, excessive drinking can lead to calcium, phosphorus imbalance in the body, causing developmental delay.
Nutritional beverages
By adding fruit juice, milk and most parents welcome, is considered to meet the baby a good appetite and nutrition.
In fact, these drinks much less content than natural nutrients in food, nutritional value is not high, but most add preservatives, stabilizers and flavor, such as saccharin baby useless material, should not drink.-Nourishing drinks
Added pollen, Royal Jelly, or replenish class of Chinese herbal medicines (such as Chinese wolfberry and ginseng, dried longan and so) nutrition, healthy baby, not only not necessary, but also affects the normal absorption of nutrients in the diet. Some products contain hormones component, drink too much will cause serious consequences such as precocious baby, should strictly limit the baby to drink.
Facts prove that the most economical and practical has the suitable baby drink than water. Boiled water on physiological activity of human metabolism is very good, not only clears the metabolic waste generated in the process in a timely manner, can improve the body\'s tolerance and disease resistance, the body is not easy to have a sense of fatigue.
Expert advice: small baby in the age of 3, it is best not to drink. Also, water also to \"small, frequent meals\", should be controlled at around 100 ml of drinking water at a time, adding to about 1500 ml of water each day. In addition to remind the baby to drink water, or you can make your baby to eat some of the larger of the moisture content foods such as vegetables, fruits, another pattern to the baby needed to supplement the body of water.
Myth 4: PAP alternative hard food
Many parents believe that babies chewing is not strong, babies should be fed some rice porridge, noodle soup, rice noodles and the like, having a soft food. In fact, this is not right.
Reason:
PAP undernutrition
Soft foods is not a baby can\'t eat these, but simply food and water, low energy, does not contain iron, zinc, calcium, nutrient content of low. Baby\'s stomach capacity only about 250 ml, if you eat is the soft food, it certainly does not meet the requirements on the intake of nutrients. Supplementary food like this too rare, too soft, too simple, diet such as irrational is the high incidence of malnutrition in infants in China one of the important factors.
Chewing hard food benefits
Chewing can promote facial muscle movements, this movement can accelerate blood circulation of the head and face, increases blood flow to the brain so that adequate oxygen and nutrient supply of brain cells, let the babies more sensitive response of the brain;
Chew also helped visual development. Eat less PAP baby vision, and eat hard food can be effective in preventing myopia, amblyopia, and other eye diseases;
In addition, the height of masticatory function is to prevent the wrong tooth and malformation of teeth one of the most natural and effective way. · helps normal growth of the jaw and gum.
Baby 4 months after birth, development of jaw and gum had to a certain extent, have been semi-solid enough to chew food. After the eruption of deciduous teeth, baby chewing capacity will be further enhanced, in which case a corresponding increase in hardness of food, let baby practice more chewing, this has the advantage of normal teeth, jaw development.
Therefore, 2002 issued by the World Health Organization infant and young child feeding guide pointed out that babies should begin gradually from 6 months to add number of supplementary food, hardness and variety. 6-month baby should be eating mud and semi-solid food, 8 month babies can eat \"finger\" foods, General families of the 12 month babies can eat ordinary food. Also, as the babies grew older and increase the number of supplementary food feeding, 6-8 months daily to feed the baby food 2~3, 9-11 months 3~4 times daily, 12-23 months can increase nutritious snack between meals, such as fruit, cookies with peanut butter, 1~2 times a day.
Expert advice: 6-8-month-old baby learn to chew and swallow the capability of the critical period, at this stage to eat babies often have a hardness of food, such as bread, bread jerky, gradually increased after hard meat fruit, carrots, beans, potatoes, corn, you can also try to eat animal food such as meat, fish, eggs. These have a certain hardness of food energy and nutrients can help baby to add rich, and can exercise baby chewing ability in daily life, is very important to the baby.
