Introduction: After adding complementary food to your child, you should avoid these wrong feeding methods. Be careful not to treat your child
Generally speaking, when the child is 4-6 months old, you can try to add complementary food to avoid nutrition that cannot keep up with it and affect development. However, adding complementary food is not as simple as giving your child some food other than milk. There are many aspects to pay attention to. Don’t get into the misunderstandings, parents should pay more attention.
After adding complementary food to your child, you should avoid these wrong feeding methods and be careful not to treat your child! Come and see what exactly it means? What's wrong with it?
1. Add salt to complementary foods frequently
When we are used to eating foods with salt, we will feel that foods without salt are not delicious. Therefore, when someone makes complementary foods for his children, he often adds salt to complementary foods, and may also add more salt to achieve a taste that suits his or her satisfaction. I wonder if you have done this.
If you do this, you still have time to correct it, so change it as soon as possible, because the younger the child has a very small demand for sodium every day. If you eat too much food with heavy taste, it will cause a burden on the child's kidneys and stomach.
After a long time, there will be problems with the body. Some diseases may not appear quickly, but they will have a great impact on the child in the future.
The best way to make it is to not add salt to the food when the child is less than one year old, and even seasonings should not be added. After one year old, add a small amount of salt, try not to taste the salty taste.
2. Feeding hard every meal
Children need nutrition and energy when growing up, and these need to be obtained from food. So some people hope that the child will eat more every meal, for fear that the nutrition will not keep up with it if he doesn’t eat well, which will lead to poor growth, and will cause the situation of feeding hard every meal.
This is very bad, because the younger the child's gastrointestinal function is less perfect. If you eat a lot of each meal, it will cause burden on the stomach and intestines, which will easily cause indigestion and harm the child's body.
And there is a gastrointestinal problem, and no matter how much you eat, it is useless. It also affects the child's appetite and becomes a vicious cycle.
3. Frequently give your children soup soaked rice
Some parents think that their children cannot eat large pieces of vegetables or meat, so they make them into soup and pour them into the rice. This way they eat it is also nutritious, so they specialize in making some seemingly nutritious soups for making rice, and they often give them to their children.
Children eat well when they encounter such a meal. They can swallow it quickly without chewing it. For children who don’t like to eat vegetables, eating this way will reduce the pressure and don’t have to eat vegetables. Combined with
, parents think that soaking rice in soup is particularly good. But after eating for a long time, it will not only make the child less fond of eating vegetables and become more picky in food, but also affect the child's stomach and intestines, because the food is chewed less often when soaking in the rice, and it is difficult to digest after the food enters the stomach and intestines.
4. Let the child eat while watching TV
Some parents are afraid that it is difficult to feed them, so they will let the child eat while watching TV. Every time they feed them like this, it may be easy, but it is not good for the child.
Because of eating like this, the child will focus on TV. As long as the parents open their mouths every time they put the spoon next to their mouths, they will be fine. Eating like this often will not make the child feel that eating is a happy thing. Over time, the child will feel that eating is a burden, and when the child eats by himself, it is easy to not eat well.
And when feeding while watching, the child will slow down the speed of chewing food. When the next bite comes, the child will swallow the unchewed food quickly. Over time, it will be bad for the stomach.
It is important to let children eat well from an early age. It is related to their physical health and development. Don’t take it seriously. Please correct it in time if you make mistakes.
