Babies can eat red dates and millet porridge when they can eat complementary food for seven months.
Jujube has a high vitamin content, which is a good source of vitamins for babies. Vitamin P is not contained in many foods, but it is high in red dates, which can promote the absorption of vitamin C and is one of the vitamins that babies can't lack. Calcium and iron in red dates are the minerals that babies need most. Jujube also has the effect of enriching blood, which can prevent iron deficiency anemia in babies.
Jujube is rich in vitamin C (especially fresh jujube), high-quality protein, free amino acids, fat, fructose, glucose, carotene, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, niacin and minerals, etc. It has the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing blood and benefiting qi. Babies who eat regularly can strengthen their bodies and are conducive to growth and development.
Millet also has the effect of invigorating spleen and stomach, which is very suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach. In addition, the porridge oil on millet porridge has the function of protecting gastric mucosa and tonifying spleen and stomach. Fresh millet has a better tonic effect. It is worth noting that millet porridge should not be too thin. The baby's intestinal digestion and absorption is not very good, so it is most suitable for eating millet porridge. Millet porridge with red dates increases the nutrition of porridge, helps the baby absorb more nutritious food, improves its immunity and promotes growth and development.
What should the baby pay attention to when eating red dates?
1, every time the baby eats a small amount, the jujube itself is slightly sweet, and it is easier for the baby to accept from the taste. However, due to the high sugar content of red dates, it is easy to cause tooth decay, so it is recommended that normal and healthy babies eat no more than eight red dates a day.
2, the baby needs to drink more water after eating dates, so it is not easy to constipation.
3, the baby with spleen deficiency and liver fire deficiency is best to eat less, easy to flatulence and difficult to digest.
4, if the baby has a sore throat, cold and cough, it can't be eaten. At the same time, it should be noted that when the baby coughs, it is not allowed to eat foods with more sugar, such as fruits.
5, when giving the baby red dates as a complementary food, in order to be safe, you should first remove the jujube stones. Some people like to cook with jujube stones, and then go to the core together when sieving. This is not impossible, but because jujube stones are hot and dry, cooking with stones will inevitably lead to excessive internal heat, which will easily make people get angry.
