When the baby is weaned, the diet should pay attention to:
Myth 1: Do not prepare complementary food before weaning.
Some mothers didn't make preparations in advance before weaning their babies, nor did they add complementary food to their babies in advance. In this way, not only does the baby lack a process of adapting to other foods physically, but it is easy to get sick, and it will also cause a great blow to the baby's psychology, and even make him think that he has been abandoned by his mother, thus making his mood extremely unstable and affecting eating more.
Myth 2: Make breast milk "excited" when weaning.
Some mothers will smear ink, pepper water, tiger balm and other irritants on their nipples when weaning, thinking that this will make the baby feel disgusted with breast milk and give up breast milk. Then, the effect is often counterproductive, which not only makes the baby feel scared, but also refuses to eat because of fear, thus affecting his health. This way, breast milk is not bad, but other foods that should be eaten may be bad.
Myth 3: Mother plays "missing" when weaning.
Some mothers sent their babies to relatives' homes and haven't seen them for days or even a long time. In fact, weaning does not require mother-infant separation. For the baby, the mother's milk can't be eaten, but you can't live without a mother!
Forced separation of mother and child during weaning will not only fail to wean smoothly, but also affect the baby's physical and mental health. Babies have been relying on their mothers' warm arms since birth. Sudden separation for a long time will make them feel insecure, especially those who rely heavily on breast milk. They are also prone to anxiety, don't eat or drink, don't want to be hugged by others, don't communicate with adults, get emotional, cry loudly, sleep badly and even get sick.
Myth 4: Repeated weaning
In the process of weaning, the mother should not only let the baby gradually adapt to the changes in diet, but also be decisive and resolute. You can't postpone the weaning time just because the baby cries for a while. Don't break it suddenly, let him eat it for a few days and then break it suddenly, which will repeatedly bring bad emotional stimulation to the baby. This practice will bring harm to the baby's mental health, easily lead to emotional instability, night terrors, refusal to eat, and even leave hidden dangers for future mental illness.
Myth 5: the method of returning milk is rude and simple.
In order to return the milk smoothly, some mothers don't drink soup, and even hold their breasts with towels, trying to hold the milk back. This obviously violates the physiological laws and is easy to cause breast pain. After weaning, if the mother has different degrees of abdominal distension, she can suck the milk out with a breast pump or manually. At the same time, 60 grams of raw malt and 30 grams of raw hawthorn are decocted into tea, and the milk can be returned in 34 days. Do not use hot compress or massage.
In addition to the attention when weaning, what are the misunderstandings of the diet after weaning?
Myth 1: Eat only staple food, not vegetables.
Add complementary food to the baby, some parents only pay attention to the staple food, rotten rice, noodles, all kinds of rice porridge and pasta are given to the baby, but complementary food (fish, vegetables and bean products) is eaten less, or vice versa. This violates the scientific principle of dietary balance and is not conducive to the healthy development of the baby.
Myth 2: Soak rice with soup
Some parents think that soup is nutritious and can soften rice, so they always give their baby soup to soak rice. This is obviously a misunderstanding. First of all, the nutrition in soup is only 5%- 10%, and more nutrition is still in meat. The fact is that babies don't take in more nutrition. Moreover, long-term use of soup to soak rice will also burden the stomach, which may cause the baby to get stomach trouble from childhood.
Myth 3: Replace vegetables with fruits.
Some parents find that their babies don't like vegetables and their stools are dry, so they use fruits instead of vegetables, thinking that this can relieve their baby's constipation, but the effect is not ideal. This practice is also wrong. Fruit can't replace vegetables. Vegetables, especially leafy vegetables, are rich in fiber, which can ensure smooth stool and ensure the intake of minerals and vitamins.
Experts remind that infant breastfeeding and complementary food addition should be carried out simultaneously. It's not because of breastfeeding that you started to eat complementary food, but because you have eaten well before breastfeeding, so there is no obvious change in the addition of complementary food before and after breastfeeding. Weaning should not affect the normal addition of complementary food for your baby.
One-year-old baby's diet arrangement is five meals a day, three main meals in the morning, noon and evening, and two snacks, emphasizing balanced diet and thick and thin collocation, rice flour and meat, with the principle of breaking soft and rotten. Breast milk is completely broken, and most of the diets are fixed three meals in the morning, noon and evening, from porridge to thick porridge and soft rice, from minced meat to minced meat, from mashed vegetables to minced meat. When you are almost one year old, you can train your baby to eat by himself and must be weaned.
What do you want to eat after weaning?
One-year-old baby's diet arrangement throughout the day: five meals a day, three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and two snacks, emphasizing a balanced diet, matching thickness, rice flour and meat, and taking the principle of breaking soft and rotten. Completely weaned (breast milk), the diet is mostly fixed three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and the transition from porridge to thick porridge and soft rice, from minced meat to minced meat, from mashed vegetables to minced meat. When the baby is almost one year old, he can train himself to eat and must be weaned (breast milk). If you continue to breastfeed your child, the child may not drink milk, have a bad appetite and have problems in all aspects of nutrition. But at the same time, we should add complementary food to our baby step by step, from less to more, from thin to thick, from fine to thick, and we are used to adding one after another. Wait until the child is healthy, the digestive function is normal, and the reaction is suspended for two days before resuming. The 8-month-old baby must gradually adapt to the transition from milk to food, and I believe the baby will adapt.
After weaning and feeding, babies need about 1 100 ~ 1200 kilocalories every day, which is 35 ~ 40 grams in protein, which is relatively high. Infants and young children are not suitable for eating solid food because of their poor digestive function. On the basis of the original complementary food, gradually increase new varieties, gradually change liquid and semi-liquid diets into solid foods, and give priority to soft and digestible foods. In view of this, the diet of infants and young children can include dairy products, cereals and so on. When cooking, the food should be chopped and burned, but it can be boiled, stewed, roasted and steamed. It is not advisable to fry and use irritating ingredients.
Infants can't eat all cereal after weaning, and it is impossible to eat with adults. The staple food should be thick porridge, rotten rice, noodles, wonton, steamed stuffed bun and so on. Non-staple food can include fish, lean meat, liver, eggs, shrimp skin, bean products and various vegetables. The staple food is rice and flour, and it needs about100g every day, which gradually increases with age; Bean products are about 25 grams per day, mainly tofu and dried beans; One egg per day 1 egg, steamed, stewed, boiled and fried; Meat and fish 50 ~ 75g per day, gradually increasing to100g; Soymilk or milk, 500ml per day, gradually reduced to 250ml after 1 year; Fruit can be supplied appropriately according to the specific situation.
After weaning, babies usually eat 4-5 meals a day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, before noon and after noon. Breakfast should be of good quality and lunch should be light. For example, milk or soybean milk, eggs or meat buns can be served for breakfast; Chinese food can be rotten rice, fish and vegetables, plus egg and shrimp skin soup; Eat lean meat, chopped vegetable noodles, etc. Have dinner; Give some fruits before noon, such as bananas, apples and pears. Cookies and sugar water are provided in the afternoon. Daily recipes should be refreshed in rotation as far as possible, paying attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables and avoiding the same meal. In addition, cooking techniques and methods will also affect the baby's eating habits and appetite. If the color, fragrance and taste are complete, it can promote the appetite of infants, increase food intake and strengthen digestion and absorption functions.
Eat nutritious, soft and digestible food. One-year-old baby's chewing ability and digestive ability are very weak, and eating rough food is not easy to digest, which easily leads to diarrhea. So, give the baby some soft and rotten food. Generally speaking, the staple food can be soft rice, rotten noodles, rice porridge, small wonton and so on. Non-staple food can be minced meat, chopped vegetables and egg soup. It is worth mentioning that milk is an essential food for babies every day after weaning, because it is not only easy to digest, but also rich in nutrients, which can provide all kinds of nutrients needed for baby's physical development. Avoid eating irritating food. The newly weaned baby can't adapt to irritating food in taste, and its digestive tract is also difficult to adapt to irritating food. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat spicy food.
