Before, there were many problems caused by the different concepts of raising children in the two generations, but today's case makes people very worried. This is the case. My colleague Zhang Zhang has had a child for two months. Because the maternity leave has not ended, the child has been taken care of by his mother-in-law and herself, but the conflict between the two did not expect it to break out so soon.
The reason is because Zhang Zhang saw with his own eyes that his mother-in-law ate complementary food for a child who was only two months old. Although the child was able to eat vigorously, Zhang Zhang knew in his heart how could a child of such a big age eat complementary food? So I argued with my mother-in-law, but my mother-in-law disliked Zhang Zhang for not having enough milk. The child was often hungry, so it was good to give the child some rice paste. At least he wouldn't be hungry. Zhang Zhang felt wronged, but he was powerless.
That's it. Zhang Zhang was so angry that he told his husband about this. However, his husband said that he had eaten like this when he was a child, saying that his mother-in-law had raised three children by herself, and said that her mother was fine with no problem in doing this, so she told herself not to make a fuss. Zhang Zhang looked at the child, but couldn't say that she felt wronged because no one at home believed in him.
As a result, the child just took it like this, and after a week, he started to have no bowel movements. In the end, the child was the one who suffered. After netizens found out about this, they began to complain. Some people said that every family has a difficult sutra to recite. If raising a child like this, wouldn’t it be too late to waste?
In fact, with the strengthening of scientific concept of feeding children, many mothers have also begun to have different ideas about when to feed complementary food to their children. Today I will tell you why children should wait until 6 months before adding complementary food. What burden will add to children if they add complementary food too early?
First of all, after the baby is born, all functions of the body are developing. Why breastfeeding is advocated in the early stage is because the baby's body and stomach can only digest the mother's breast milk or milk powder, and cannot digest other foods.
Secondly, what risks will it bring to add complementary food to your children too early?
- will increase the burden on the child's spleen and stomach. The child's body, spleen and stomach, cannot eat complementary foods or even rice paste before 6 months. If the child is forcibly fed rice paste or other complementary foods, the child's body will not be able to digest it at all, which will increase the burden on the body's spleen and stomach, and there will also be problems with the child's spleen and stomach transportation, resulting in indigestion and even constipation.
- will increase the child's allergies. When adding complementary food to your children, you should go from less to over, and add foods from vegetables to meat. In the process of adding complementary food to your children, there will be many ingredients that cause allergies to your children, such as eggs, seafood, etc. Therefore, when children are exposed to these foods before 6 months old, they will easily have an allergic reaction.
3. It will increase the risk of children's obesity. Adding complementary food to children too early may make children adapt to complementary food too early, which will cause children to have a risk of obesity in childhood and even childhood, and affect their growth and height development.
So when is the best time to add complementary food to your child? Do you have to wait until 6 months? In fact, this is not the case. Children should generally not add complementary foods earlier than 4 months, nor later than 6 months. The specific situation depends on the child's weight. After the weight reaches 10 kilograms, the head can support itself well, and they also become interested in adult food. This is the best time to add complementary foods to their children. Have you remembered it?
