Pay attention to the following points when eating fruit for your baby:
First, pay attention to the baby's eating time. Some mothers like to start with breakfast and put some fruits on the table for their babies to eat after meals. They think that eating fruit at this time can promote the digestion of food. Of course, this is necessary for people who like to eat animal meat and greasy food, but it is not suitable for growing babies. Because there are many monosaccharides in fruit, it is easy to be absorbed by the small intestine, but if it is blocked in the stomach, it is easy to form flatulence and even cause constipation. So don't give your baby fruit immediately after eating a full meal. However, it is not suitable for babies to eat before meals. Because the baby's stomach capacity is still relatively small, if it is eaten before meals, it will occupy a certain space in the stomach, thus affecting the intake of nutrients for dinner. In addition, the baby should not drink milk within one hour before and after eating citrus, otherwise the fruit acid in citrus will solidify when it meets protein in milk, which will affect the nutrient absorption in citrus. The best way is to arrange the time to eat fruit between meals, or let the baby eat fruit as a snack after waking up from a nap at noon. The suitable amount of fruit for each baby is 50- 100g. According to the baby's age and digestive ability, the fruit can be made into juice or puree suitable for baby's digestion and absorption. For example, 1 to 3-month-old babies should drink fruit juice, and 4-9-month-old babies can eat fruit paste. Second, when giving your baby fruit, it should be suitable for your own physique. When choosing fruit for your baby, you should pay attention to fitness and physical condition. For babies with thick tongue coating, constipation and hot constitution, it is best to eat cold fruits, such as pears, watermelons, bananas, kiwis and mangoes. , can cause fire; When the baby suffers from acute and chronic tracheitis in autumn and winter, eating citrus can dredge meridians and eliminate phlegm accumulation, which is helpful for treatment. But you can't eat too much citrus. Eating too much will cause the baby to get angry. Give the baby two or three servings a day and then stop. The best way is: when the baby lacks vitamin A and vitamin C, eat more apricots, melons and grapefruit containing carotene, which can supplement the body with a lot of vitamin A and vitamin C; The climate in autumn is dry, and babies are prone to colds and coughs. You can often make some pear porridge for your baby, or stew it with pears and rock sugar. Because pears are cold, they can moisten the lungs and produce fluid, clear away lung heat, thus relieving cough and resolving phlegm. But the baby should not eat pears when he has diarrhea. In addition, peaches should not be eaten when the skin is sore, which will aggravate the baby's condition. Third, eat apples skillfully in different situations Recently, foreign nutritionists have shown that there are 10 kinds of fruits that are most beneficial to health, among which apples rank first. Because nutritionists believe that the apple-shaped Pingliang has the effects of appetizing, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Therefore, when the baby has poor appetite, indigestion, dry mouth and throat and cough due to body heat, if you eat some apples, it can play an auxiliary therapeutic role in fitness, disease prevention and treatment. At the same time, because it is rich in fiber, it is beneficial to intestinal muscle peristalsis, so it has a laxative effect. Why can apples stop diarrhea and relieve constipation? Mainly depends on how to eat.
The best way is: when the baby has indigestion, it should be given heated and cooked apple puree, which contains more astringent substances such as tannic acid and pectin, which can relieve intestinal spasm and absorb enterotoxin, thus achieving the effect of stopping diarrhea. When the baby has poor defecation, it is more appropriate to eat apples raw. Because they contain more cellulose, they can't be absorbed by the intestine. Malic acid stimulates the intestinal muscles, so it can promote defecation. Therefore, the baby who is constipated by formula milk can let the baby eat some apple puree. When the baby coughs and his voice is hoarse, squeezing raw apples into juice for the baby to drink can also moisten the lungs and relieve cough. Fourth, some fruit babies should eat moderate litchi juice, which is fresh and tender, and the taste is very attractive to the baby. Usually, they don't eat enough. However, it's best for mommy to know how much the baby eats. Because eating a lot of lychee will not only greatly reduce the baby's normal appetite, but also affect the intake of other essential nutrients. Often, symptoms such as dizziness, pale face, limb weakness and sweating suddenly appear in the early morning of the next day. If you don't see a doctor immediately, there will be terrible consequences such as blood pressure drop, syncope and even death. This is because litchi meat contains a substance that can cause hypoglycemia and lead to hypoglycemia shock. Persimmon is also the baby's favorite fruit, but when the baby eats too much, especially with sweet potatoes and crabs, persimmon phenol, tannin and gum in persimmon will form insoluble lumps in the stomach. These lumps will not only make the baby constipated. Moreover, sometimes because these lumps can't be excreted, they will stay in the stomach to form stomach stones, which will lead to stomachache, vomiting and indigestion. Bananas are sweet and can relax the bowels. So it is also a fruit that mothers often give their babies. However, don't let the baby eat too much in a short time, especially the baby with weak spleen and stomach. Otherwise, it will cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Generally speaking, for babies over two years old who don't eat too much, they can eat one at a time and twice a day. Watermelon is cold and belongs to cold food. If you eat too much, it will not only weaken the digestive ability of the spleen and stomach, but also cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Therefore, the baby must pay attention to the amount of watermelon, and it is not good to eat too much. In some cases, it is not appropriate to give your baby watermelon: 1, and be careful when you have a cold; 2. The baby suffers from kidney disease, resulting in renal insufficiency; 3, the baby's mouth is sore. The best way is 1 There are three ways for babies to eat fruit before: First, drink fresh juice. Choose fresh and ripe fruits, such as oranges, watermelons, apples and pears. Wash with water, peel, cut the pulp into small pieces, or mash it directly and put it in a bowl (remove the core first), then juice it with the back of a spoon or sterile gauze, or juice it with a juicer. The second is to cook fruit. Cut the fruit into small pieces with a knife, put it in boiling water, cover the pot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. The third is to dig the fruit mud. Babies aged 4 to 5 months can eat puree. Wash the fruit first, then scrape it into mud with a spoon. It is best to scrape with eating to avoid oxidation and discoloration and pollution. 1 year-old children can eat all kinds of fruits, but they must be washed and peeled. They should be especially careful when eating small and round fruits such as grapes and cherries, and be alert to the danger of choking and suffocation. Remind parents that it is best for babies to eat fruit after feeding or eating, because fruit has a high sugar content, and eating it before milk or meals will affect the amount of dinner. 5. Don't always let your baby compare fruits and vegetables, and vegetables and fruits. Both taste and taste are far inferior to fruit. Because fruit contains fructose, it has delicious sweetness, delicate pulp, juice and easy digestion and absorption. Therefore, some mothers often let him eat more fruits when they don't like vegetables, thinking that this can make up for the losses caused by not eating vegetables. However, it is unscientific to substitute fruits and vegetables. First of all, if you often let your baby replace vegetables with fruits, the intake of fruits will increase, leading to excessive intake of fructose. Too much fructose in the body will not only make the baby lack copper, affect the development of bones, but also make the baby often feel full and lead to a decrease in appetite. Secondly, the contents of inorganic salts and crude fiber in fruits are less than those in vegetables. Compared with vegetables, the effect of promoting intestinal muscle peristalsis and ensuring calcium and iron intake in inorganic salts is relatively weak. Therefore, when the baby doesn't like to eat vegetables, it's best for mommy not to often use fruit instead. The best way is to let the baby love both vegetables and fruits. Vegetables contain more cellulose than fruits. Eating more vegetables can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. Of course, fruit also has its advantages. For example, most fruits are rich in various organic acids, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and help digestion. In a word, fruits and vegetables have their own characteristics and cannot replace each other. According to the latest research, babies who eat "healthy" fruits are also beneficial to prevent childhood leukemia. Children under the age of 2 who regularly eat oranges, bananas, orange juice and other fruits or related foods every week are much less likely to be diagnosed with leukemia before the age of 14 than other children, which means that eating more fruits can play a magical role in preventing leukemia in children. Although autumn and winter are the seasons when a large number of fruits are on the market, as we all know, some fruits should not be given to children, otherwise it will damage their health. Because some fruits are getting bigger and bigger, but the prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. These "chubby" fruits are lovely, but they have no crisp and sweet taste. They may be ugly hormone fruits.
