Babies can only eat white sugar after they are one year old, and they cannot eat too much. Before a baby is one year old, the body's metabolism is relatively slow and the kidney function is not strong. If the baby consumes white sugar, the body cannot bear it. This will cause the baby's body to become bloated and his metabolism to slow down. Therefore, babies under one year old cannot eat white sugar, and no other flavorings should be added to the child's complementary food.
Many old people believe that children will lose strength if they don’t eat sweets. This understanding is wrong. Parents should follow scientific methods to raise children and arrange their babies' diet correctly.
Parents always feel that their babies’ diet is too simple, so they always want to add some seasonings to their children’s complementary foods, thinking that only in this way will their children like to eat it. In fact, there is no need to add any seasoning to the baby's complementary food. Parents should not judge based on their own taste. If you add salt, sugar and other seasonings to your child's complementary food, it can easily harm your baby's health. Your child's diet should be lighter.
In addition to controlling the amount of food, babies also need to follow the principles:
1. From less to more: When adding complementary foods to your baby, you must follow the principle from less to more. As a rule, don’t eat too much at one time, as this can easily cause indigestion.
2. From fine to coarse, from thin to thick: The normal order of adding complementary food is to eat the paste first, then to the puree, slowly add it step by step to train the baby's chewing ability.
3. From one type to multiple types: Do not add various complementary foods to your baby at the beginning. You should add a single food at first, and then gradually increase the types of complementary foods.
