spinach
Although the content of iron in spinach is high, it is difficult for human body to absorb and utilize it. Because spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, it meets calcium in the gastrointestinal tract after entering the human body, and it is easy to solidify into calcium oxalate which is not easy to dissolve and absorb, so eating spinach often will cause calcium deficiency, which will lead to rickets and hand-foot convulsions. If the baby has symptoms of calcium deficiency, eating spinach will make the condition worse. Spinach is an alkaline food, and children often eat it, which will cause diarrhea. Although the oxalic acid can be removed by scalding spinach, the vitamins in it are also destroyed after scalding.
kidney bean
Lentils contain a special gene, which can cause goiter in human body and promote the excretion of thyronine, thus causing thyronine deficiency. When thyronine is deficient, the human body will automatically increase the secretion of thyroid gland. Children in the developmental stage are very fragile, so they should not eat too many lentils.
Chinese chives
Leek contains more cellulose, which can increase gastrointestinal peristalsis. It also contains volatile oil and sulfur-containing compounds, which can promote appetite, sterilize and reduce blood fat. The baby can only eat a little, and if he eats too much, it will lead to mild diarrhea.
amaranthus tricolor
Amaranth contains relatively high nitrate, and there are many bacteria in the baby's mouth, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus, Bacillus and so on. These bacteria are more in the mouth of babies under 1 year-old, and it is easy to convert nitrate into nitrite, so the baby will be at risk of nitrite poisoning, and thus get cyanosis (generally manifested as dyspnea, purple/blue skin (cyanosis), and in severe cases, it can cause organ hypoxia damage, which will affect intelligence and other sequelae).
The above four kinds of vegetables don't mean that you can't give them to your children, but you can't eat more. When mothers add complementary food to their babies, don't get bogged down and control the weight. It should be noted that vegetables that are difficult to digest and contain too much cellulose are best fed to the baby when he is older, such as bamboo shoots and vegetable stalks. In addition, all kinds of legumes and vegetables are difficult to cook thoroughly, which is easy to cause allergic and toxic reactions, so you need to pay special attention when feeding your baby.
So what green vegetables should the baby eat?
1. peas

Chromium is beneficial to the metabolism of sugar and fat and can maintain the normal function of insulin. The choline and methionine contained in peas help to prevent arteriosclerosis. Vitamin C contained in fresh peas ranks first among all fresh beans.
Step 2: potatoes
Potatoes are known as "underground ginseng" because of their rich nutrition. It is very rich in nutrients. The protein content of100g potato is about 2-2.5g, and the protein of potato is good, which is close to animal protein. It contains special mucin, which not only moistens intestines, but also enhances physical fitness, especially for children who have no appetite in summer. Sticking to eating potatoes for a period of time can promote their health and is not easy to gain weight. The B vitamins contained in it can improve memory and make thinking clear.

In addition, the contents of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium in potatoes are also high.
Step 3: eggplant
Eggplant is one of the few purple vegetables, and it is also a very common home-cooked vegetable on the table. Its purple skin is rich in vitamin E and vitamin P, which is incomparable to other vegetables, even to ordinary fruits. Eggplant is rich in anthocyanin, which is a nutrient with good antioxidant effect and can protect cell membrane from free radical damage. Moreover, eggplant can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, which is especially suitable for people who are prone to prickly heat and sores. Babies are particularly prone to prickly heat in summer, so you might as well eat more eggplant.
4. Pumpkin
Pumpkin is rich in carotene, rich in nutrition and comprehensive. The fruit contains sugar, vitamins, protein, and 17 amino acids needed by human body, as well as histidine needed by children. Among them, flax oleic acid, lecithin and stearic acid are rich, which can promote the development of infants' brains and bones. In addition, pumpkin is rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, selenium, iron and zinc. Although the carotene contained in pumpkin is slightly inferior to that of carrot, pumpkin is still a star with carotene, and its carotene content is 8 ~ 20 times that of watermelon, which is a high-quality source of vitamin A.
5. chrysanthemum morifolium
Chrysanthemum morifolium is a kind of vegetable with comprehensive nutrition, which is rich in vitamins, amino acids, fat, protein and high amounts of minerals such as sodium and potassium. Its carotene content is also relatively high, which is1.5 ~ 30 times that of cucumber, eggplant and other vegetables.

6. cauliflower
Cauliflower, also called cauliflower, comes in white and green. The nutritional value of Chinese cabbage flower and green cauliflower is basically the same, and the carotene content of green cauliflower is higher than that of Chinese cabbage flower. Cauliflower is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, and it also contains abundant vitamin K that ordinary vegetables do not have. At the same time, it is one of the foods containing the most flavonoids, and its calcium content can be comparable to that of milk, which is a good product for baby to supplement calcium.
7. tomatoes
Tomatoes contain more than 20 kinds of carotene, such as α-carotene, β-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, and lycopene accounts for about 80% ~ 90%. It can be said that tomatoes are natural warehouses of lycopene. In addition, tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, which can improve the baby's immunity.

Carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the small intestine wall and liver cells for human use, and 70% of the vitamin A that normal people usually need is converted from carotene. Vitamin A plays an important role in the integrity of skin and mucosa, improving immune function, preventing infection of respiratory tract, urinary tract and other organs, promoting the growth and development of children, and participating in the formation of photosensitive substances in retina.
The harm of children's dislike of vegetables
1, constipation often occurs.
If you don't eat vegetables, the cellulose intake is insufficient, which has little irritation to the intestinal wall, which makes the intestinal muscle peristalsis weakened and the feces stay in the intestine for too long. Therefore, the baby often has constipation, and absorbs the toxic components in the feces into the blood, which affects the normal metabolism and is easy to get sick. Eating more vegetables can prevent constipation and other diseases, and eating more vegetables can increase immunity and resistance.
2. Destroy the intestinal environment.
Cellulose in vegetables can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria. If you don't eat vegetables often, it will destroy the growth environment of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and affect the absorption function of nutrients in the intestine.
3. insufficient intake of vitamin C.
Vegetables are the main source of vitamin C, and vitamin C has a great influence on the baby's development. It can promote calcium deposition and is an essential nutrient for the sound development of baby's teeth and bones in rapid growth and development. If you don't eat vegetables often, there will be pulp bleeding, pulpitis, soft and fragile bones, subcutaneous bleeding and body infection.
4. Insufficient vitamin A intake.
Yellow-green vegetables are rich sources of β-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in human body. Lack of vitamin A will affect the baby's vision, skin, mucous membrane and other functions, resulting in night blindness, dermatitis or repeated respiratory infections.
5. Excessive heat intake.
If you don't eat vegetables during meals, it is not easy to feel full, which often makes your baby unconsciously consume too much heat energy, causing obesity and affecting the health of adults.
6, often have a poor appetite.
Babies who often don't eat vegetables will also suffer from other physiological functions of the body, and often have symptoms such as loss of appetite and poor appetite.
7. I don't like to eat vegetables when I grow up.
If the baby eats less vegetables from snacks and prefers meat, it is likely that he will not accept vegetables easily when he grows up, and then it will take a lot of effort to correct it.
Children don't like vegetables, so mothers can think of some ways to cook!
Method 1: Many children who don't want to eat vegetables like to eat foods with stuffing. We can wrap some jiaozi, steamed stuffed buns, etc. for their children, and we can also put several kinds of vegetables at a time, such as Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, etc., and mix them with meat, and all of them can be wrapped in these foods with stuffing. It is best to eat and package now, and if it is stored in cold storage, the nutrition of vegetables will be easily lost.
Method 2: You can beat various vegetable juices for your child, use these vegetable juices to make noodles into colored noodles, and then use this vegetable juice to bread jiaozi and make noodles. Such bright colors of jiaozi will increase children's appetite.
Method 3: You can often make some hot noodle soup for children who eat less vegetables, and add some vegetables to the noodles, so that the nutrients of vegetables will be dissolved in the soup, so that children can drink more soup, and some vitamins and other nutrients can be added.
