4 Mistakes in Eating Baby Dinner

1. Children eat meat every day.

Wrong. A vegetarian diet will make the body healthier and is suitable for people of all ages, even children and pregnant women. Pay attention to supplementing iron, zinc and vitamin b12. Of course, children don’t have to eat meat at all. Eating 2 to 3 times a week is enough. Research shows that people who eat meat are at increased risk of colon cancer.

2. Soup and rice are easy to digest.

Wrong. Some children don't like to eat vegetables and like to soak rice in soup or water. In this way, many rice grains were swallowed before chewing. Children's meal arrangements should be as diverse as possible, with a mix of meat and vegetables to ensure adequate daily intake of protein, fat, sugar, vitamins, and minerals.

3. Children should eat less for dinner.

Wrong. "Eat less for dinner" is aimed at adults, especially the elderly, but it's a different story for children. Children are in the vigorous period of growth and development, and they need a lot of nutrients to supplement both body growth and brain development. The time between dinner and the next morning is about 12 hours. Although supplementary food is not required during sleep, children's growth and development will not stop for a moment, and certain nutrients are still needed even at night. If your dinner is too small or too poor, you won't be able to satisfy this need. If things go on like this, it will affect the development and growth of children. It can be seen that children not only need to eat less, but also eat well. If your child is overweight or even obese, you must adhere to the principle of "eating less for dinner", but this "less" refers to less calories, not less quantity.

4. Eating too much for dinner will affect your sleep.

Wrong. As long as you eat one hour before your child goes to bed, it will not affect your child's sleep.
