Supplementary food addition taboo

Avoid early addition

Infants who have just left the mother's body have delicate digestive organs, underdeveloped digestive glands, poor secretion function, and many digestive enzymes have not yet formed. At this time, they do not have the function of digesting complementary food. If the complementary food is added too early, it will increase the burden of the baby's digestive function. The indigestible complementary food is not "fermented" in the abdomen, causing abdominal distension, constipation and anorexia, or increasing intestinal peristalsis, making the baby defecate more and more frequently, and finally leading to diarrhea. Therefore, infants born within 4 months should avoid adding complementary food prematurely.

Avoid late addition

Some parents are too cautious about adding complementary food for fear that their children can't digest it. The child has already passed 4 months, and still only eats breast milk or milk powder. I don't know that children have grown up, and their needs for nutrition and energy have increased. Eating breast milk or milk powder alone can no longer meet the needs of their growth and development, and complementary food should be added reasonably. ’

Avoid excessive complementary food.

Although the baby can add complementary food, but the digestive organs are still very tender after all, can not be rushed, should be gradually added according to its digestive function. If you add it at will, it will also cause indigestion or obesity in your baby. Let children eat whatever they want, and give them as much as they want, which will also cause nutritional imbalance and develop bad eating habits such as partial eclipse and picky eaters. Therefore, it is also inappropriate to add too much complementary food and abuse it.

Avoid excessive food supplement.

The self-made complementary food that some parents give their babies is too elaborate, which makes the children's chewing function not properly trained, which is not conducive to the eruption of their teeth and the arrangement of their teeth after eruption. The food will not produce a sense of taste without chewing, which will not attract the children's appetite, nor will it be conducive to the development of taste, and the development of cheeks will also be affected. If this goes on for a long time, the baby's growth will certainly not be ideal, and it will also affect the development of brain intelligence.
