I still remember when my mother said that when I was a child, I fed me rice oil. After a few days, I started steaming egg custard for me. I said that I could eat it very much. Steam one egg at a time, and I could eat more than half of it. I was weaned off early, so for a while, my meal was almost egg custard ...
I am particularly moved and grateful now. Fortunately, I was not allergic to protein when I was a child, otherwise I would have to go to the hospital several times...
Until now, when parents make complementary food for their children, they will open an egg and water to beat it, then steam it in water, and then feed it to the children one spoonful after another, which is very convenient.
But in fact, although eggs are rich in nutritional value, giving your baby eggs like this may not be the best choice.
8 taboos for babies to eat eggs. Many mothers don’t know. See if you have any tricks.
①Eat only egg custard as a supplementary food for babies
Eating only egg custard for a meal is not scientific. If you want your child to be healthier, you should match your diet.
Our body needs various nutrients to provide energy and maintain organ functioning. Although protein itself is the basis for children's growth and development, it is not appropriate for infants and young children to consume only protein, because infants and young children are more likely to obtain energy from carbohydrate .
Therefore, while giving your baby egg custard, it is best to add some carbohydrates to increase the utilization rate of protein, such as eating rice noodles or porridge.
②Do not add egg yolk too early, and it should not be used as the first supplementary food
. The baby should be added step by step. At the beginning, it starts with adding iron rice noodles, and then from thin to thick, from paste to granules.
So don’t rush to add egg yolks, and you are also afraid that the baby will eat egg yolks too early, so that the baby’s stomach will not be able to adapt. Although egg yolks contain iron, the iron in them is not easily absorbed by the human body.
The iron absorption rate in egg yolk is only 3%, which is much harder to absorb than in lean meat and animal internal organs.
Therefore, egg yolks are prone to be added too early, and egg yolks are also one of the common allergens.
Egg yolks are recommended to try again when the baby is 8 months old. At the beginning, you should crush the egg yolks. After crushing, you can stir it in the rice porridge for the baby to eat.
③It is best not to try protein before the baby is 1 year old
protein is also one of the common allergens, and it accounts for a small proportion of people with food allergies. To be on the safe side, it is best to start trying whole eggs when the baby is 1 year old.
In fact, the reason why proteins have high allergies is that the protein in the protein is albumin , which has a small molecule, and the baby's intestinal wall is very thin. Therefore, after entering the gastrointestinal tract, albumin can easily penetrate the intestinal wall and directly enter the baby's blood, and some allergic symptoms appear, such as eczema, urticaria, and difficulty breathing.
So, it is best to slow down and let the baby's digestive system be improved before eating.
④Baby should not eat too much egg
Eggs are rich in nutrients, but the more you eat, the better.
For infants and young children, their digestive system is not yet perfect. If you give your baby too much eggs, your own digestive ability will not keep up, which is particularly easy for the baby to suffer from indigestion. Moreover, eggs are foods that are prone to bloating. For infants and young children with weak digestive abilities, they are more likely to bloating and cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Suggestion: When you first start eating egg yolks, just crush 1/4 of the egg yolks, and then gradually increase the amount slowly.
When a child is 1-2 years old, he can eat 1-1.5 eggs a day, which can meet the basic needs of 40 grams of protein a day. There is no need to do too much.
⑤It is best not to give your baby
rinse eggs more convenient than steamed egg custard, but while saving trouble, you may pour an uncooked egg into your child.
Rinse it with boiling water only, and it will not completely burn the parasite eggs and bacteria in the eggs to death, and then let the baby drink it.
This is likely to cause the baby to be infected with " Salmonella typhimurium " and "Salmonella enteritis", causing the baby to have typhoid or enteritis.
There are also some folk remedies in some places. If the baby coughs and eats a raw egg, he doesn't know that this may cause the baby to get infected or acute food poisoning.
Eggs must be cooked. Steamed eggs are the easiest to cook thoroughly. If you boil eggs, you may need to ignite the heat.
⑥Fried eggs are not suitable for children to eat
In fact, my best way to eat eggs is to fry eggs, but it is not suitable for children. Not to mention the high fat content, fried eggs are easy to get paste if they are not fried well, and the areas where the batter will lose their nutritional value. Adults are also best to eat less steamed eggs and choose healthier cooking methods.
⑦Fever is not suitable for eating eggs
This may not be known by many parents. Eating eggs will cause the body to generate more calories. When the baby has a fever, the body's calories will be high. Eggs will only increase calories, which will slow down the baby's fever and recovery.
⑧Don't eat eggs with problems
For example, if the surface is moldy, the egg shell is cracked, the egg yolk is loose, the smell is smelly, and the feather eggs are not eaten by the baby. These eggs are all problematic.
Someone may argue, saying that there are not so many restrictions, isn’t it okay to start eating so early when you were a child? How to say
? Egg allergies are not a high probability of occurrence, but when raising children, you should avoid all factors that are not conducive to the growth and development of children as much as possible. I didn’t know before that when a child grew up smoothly, it was just a good luck, because in that era, the news spread not quickly because of these wrong feedings. So you have no way to know.
Although it is a small probability problem for others, once it happens to your own children, the probability is 100%. So be careful to sail for ten thousand years, and scientific feeding will not be wrong.
