The issue of babies with allergies not gaining weight is always an unavoidable topic...
Some mothers are wondering, my baby eats a lot every day and is not picky about food, so how can he not gain weight?
Don't worry, the answers you need are all here.
1. The types of diet are reduced.
Babies have many food intolerances and allergies. These intolerant foods are originally nutritious protein foods. When they become intolerable foods, many of our parents will directly stop eating them. We find that the more we stop eating, the harder it is to raise our children. If we don’t stop eating, we can’t absorb them. This really makes it difficult for parents.
2. Affects the secretion of growth hormone
This is mainly related to the child's related symptoms, such as strong itching on the skin, abdominal discomfort in the digestive tract, nasal congestion in the respiratory tract, etc. Any symptom will affect the baby's sleep at night, and frequent night wakings and difficulty falling asleep directly affect the secretion of growth hormone, which is also the direct reason for the height difference between other babies.
3. Insufficient digestion and absorption ability
Children with allergies will almost always affect the intestines, regardless of whether the symptoms are manifested or not. Therefore, even if the nutrition is comprehensive and sufficient, more than 90% of the nutrients absorbed by the human body are in the intestines, so I don’t need to say it, this is also a very important reason.
4. Intestinal flora disorder
When it comes to bacterial flora disorder, it starts with the first mouthful of milk. Is your baby's first mouthful of milk breast milk? Have you used antibiotics for your children? Have you ever experienced constipation or diarrhea? These can cause intestinal flora disorder, and intestinal beneficial bacteria shoulder many tasks, such as decomposition of food, release of beneficial substances, etc. If intestinal food cannot be effectively decomposed, where will it be absorbed?
5. The total daily dietary intake is insufficient
6-9 months old, the daily dairy products are not less than 600ml
10-12 months, the daily dairy amount is about 600ml
13-24 months old The daily amount of dairy products is about 500ml
Choose foods with high nutrient density
The nutrient density of complete foods>decomposed foods (some nutrients are destroyed)
(fruits>pures>juices)
The nutrient density of solid foods>liquid foods
(rice>porridge>rice soup)
The nutrient density of healthy foods>snacks
(fresh fruits and vegetables)>candy
