Weaning meals are an important step in taking care of your baby's nutrition, however, many parents still make simple mistakes that can affect their baby's health.
Here are 10 common mistakes to avoid when feeding your baby:
- Feeding Children Weaning Too Early
The World Health Organization recommends that from 6 months onwards is the appropriate time to start weaning. Forcing your baby to eat before this time can cause vomiting, digestive disorders and affect the baby's overall development.
- Forcing Children to Eat Too Much
Each age and baby's feeding needs are different. If you force your baby to eat too much, he or she will be afraid and easily lose appetite.
- Misuse of Bone Broth
Bone broth may be delicious, but it's low in calcium and contains unhealthy fats. Using bone broth daily can lead to rickets and malnutrition in children.
- Eat Many Dishes In One Meal
A child's digestive system is not yet fully developed, so giving many foods at one meal can cause digestive disorders and intestinal dysbiosis. Focus on each type of food to ensure ease of digestion for your baby.
- Giving Children Salty Foods Too Early
Nutrition experts recommend that babies should only eat spicy foods when they are 1 year old. Eating salty food too early can cause taste disorders and increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.
- Cook Once and Eat All Day
Weaning meals should be freshly cooked and should not be left out for too long. After 2 hours, porridge can begin to spoil at room temperature, and if refrigerated, nutrients can be significantly lost.
- Add Meat, Fish and Vegetables at the same time
Overcooked vegetables can create an unpleasant strong taste and lose vitamins.
- Feeding Babies Late
Children who are lazy to chew will cause less gastric juice to be secreted, leading to the child becoming anorexic.
- Meals Last Too Long
Meals that last too long can make your baby not feel hungry, leading to loss of appetite. It's best to keep your meal time to about 30 minutes.
- Do not feed your baby oil
Fat is one of four important nutrient groups, and cutting fat in your child's diet can affect growth and energy needs.
A baby's health depends largely on the nutrition from the family. Avoiding the above mistakes not only helps your baby develop comprehensively but also helps make weaning meals light and enjoyable.
