If you have a child, you want to give him the best food and clothing, especially the food, which is very fine.

In fact, from the perspective of a balanced diet, this is not conducive to the baby's comprehensive intake of nutrition, and even harmful to health.

Part 1

Babies always eat flour and rice and lack vitamins.

The so-called flour rice refers to polished rice with a high degree of processing, in which chaff, germ and aleurone layer are removed. The white rice, rich flour and so on that we usually eat belong to flour and rice.

The main component of flour and rice is starch, accounting for about 80%, while plant protein only accounts for about 7%, so the nutrition is not comprehensive. So often eat flour and rice, the baby will:

1. Lack of vitamin B 1.

The content of vitamin B 1 in wheat bran is very rich, which is the main source of dietary vitamin B 1. However, vitamin B 1 in refined rice flour is greatly lost.

2. Lack of vitamin B2 and vitamin E.

Raw grain hulls and aleurone layer are rich in vitamin B2, and grain embryos contain vitamin E. After processing? It's basically gone again

3. Lack of dietary fiber

Bran is rich in dietary fiber. Eating only flour and rice every day will seriously affect the intake of dietary fiber.

What will the lack of dietary fiber swell? What are the most common consequences? Constipation!

4. Increase blood sugar fluctuation

This may have little effect on the baby, but adults should pay attention. Whether you have diabetes or not, blood sugar fluctuation has the greatest impact on your health.

the second part

Babies always eat flour and rice, which is prone to calcium deficiency and dental caries.

First of all, flour and rice lose calcium in the process of fine processing.

Secondly, the food made of flour and rice has high sugar content, and calcium is necessary for sugar metabolism. When you don't get enough calcium from food, you can only use the calcium stored in your body to metabolize it.

Flour and rice contain a lot of starch and are acidic. Eating flour and rice will increase the acidity of blood. Human blood itself is a weakly alkaline environment. In order to maintain the acid-base balance, we have to use the calcium stored in the body?

China's parents love to give their children calcium supplements. In fact, what you need to do more is not to supplement calcium, but to give your baby some coarse grains appropriately!

Why calcium deficiency is easy to understand ~ What is the cause of dental caries?

When a child suffers from dental caries, parents usually think that his mouth is unsanitary or that he has eaten too much sugar.

That's right! This is indeed the two main causes of baby's dental caries, but dear children should know that tooth decay starts from the inside of teeth.

As I said just now, if he eats too much flour and rice, he will not get enough calcium, and he will consume the calcium stored in his body. And this will also involve teeth.

If you drop too much, your teeth will be damaged from the inside, leading to tooth decay! Long posture.

Since it is not good to always eat flour and rice, let's talk about how to add coarse grains to children.

the third part

What is coarse grains?

The so-called coarse grains, that is, coarse grains, have removed the shell and have no refined whole seeds.

It mainly includes corn, purple rice, sorghum, oats, buckwheat, wheat bran and various dried beans, such as soybeans, mung beans, red beans and mung beans.

The benefits of baby eating coarse grains

Coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber and B vitamins, iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, potassium, calcium and other trace elements. Different coarse grains contain different nutrients:

Oats are rich in protein;

Millet is rich in tryptophan, carotene, iron and B vitamins.

Beans are rich in high-quality protein and fat;

Sorghum is rich in fatty acids and iron.

You see, coarse grains are not as good as flour rice in taste, but they are rich in nutritional value.

Babies eating coarse grains have many advantages:

1. Prevent constipation. Coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber, which is beneficial to the normal operation of digestive system and accelerates intestinal peristalsis and defecation.

2. Fully supplement nutrition. Needless to say, right? Coarse grains are so rich in nutrition, coupled with flour and rice, you can give them to your baby, and the nutrition is comprehensive.

3. Strong teeth. Eating flour and rice is easy to cause calcium loss and affect dental health. Appropriate supplementation of coarse grains can enrich calcium intake. Coarse grains are also hard, which can better exercise the baby's chewing power.

4. Prevent obesity. Rich dietary fiber can absorb water several times or even dozens times heavier than itself in the intestine, and enhance satiety; Snack goods, babies in a chubby world should eat more coarse grains ~ ~

The fifth part

How old can the baby eat coarse grains?

The digestive function of babies under 2 years old is not perfect. Eating too much coarse grains, especially whole grains, is easy to indigestion.

Although dietary fiber is a good thing, it can't be supplemented too much, otherwise it will affect the absorption of iron and zinc, especially for babies who don't eat much meat.

In view of this, babies under 2 years old should not eat coarse grains. After adding complementary food for 6 months, you can try to drink millet porridge. 1 year-old, you can try a small amount of whole wheat bread and miscellaneous grains.

Part VI

Babies should pay attention to these points when eating coarse grains.

Although coarse grains have many benefits, don't overdo it when adding it to your baby. After all, the child's digestive system is still not perfect. We should also pay attention to practice.

1. Add appropriately.

How much coarse grains is suitable for baby to eat during growth and development?

The American Academy of Pediatrics has the simplest formula for calculating dietary fiber, which is age +5g. 1 year-old baby needs 6g dietary fiber every day. If the baby is often constipated, you can increase the intake appropriately.

Some babies will have abdominal distension and exhaust after eating coarse grains for the first time, which is a normal physiological reaction. After the baby gets used to eating coarse grains for a while, this phenomenon will disappear.

2. coarse grains should be ground

Babies under 2 years old need to grind coarse grains into powder or treat them into mud to cook porridge for their children. This will also make the food taste better and improve the absorption rate.

Step 3 mix all kinds of coarse grains

Plant protein in coarse grains contains less lysine and methionine than animal protein, so the utilization rate is low, so it needs to be mixed to learn from each other's strengths.

For example, eight-treasure porridge, Laba porridge, corn sweet potato porridge, millet yam porridge, soybean with corn or steamed corn bread with sorghum flour.

4. Mix and match thickness

It's not good to eat flour and rice all the time, but you can't help it. Everything is too much. The ratio of coarse grains to flour and rice should be around 1: 3.

Mix white flour with bean flour, or mix white flour with corn flour to make steamed bread rolls, and mix white rice with black rice to make rice. I often do this for rice grains.

Protein, multivitamins, carbohydrates and other nutrients can be ingested more comprehensively.

Part VII

Coarse grains suitable for babies.

There are many kinds of coarse grains. I often give the following kinds of rice grains.

1. Corn

Sweet taste, rich in protein, fat, vitamins and trace elements, often eat corn, but also prevent constipation!

When the complementary food was first added to the rice, I made him mashed corn: steamed corn, then crushed and sieved? Is it too much trouble? Absolute mom cooks ~ ~

Later, when his teeth were almost the same, I asked him to chew corncob directly, which saved trouble and exercised his chewing ability.

2. Sweet potato, yam and potato

These three species belong to rhizomes, so they are said together. Mud bar, add a little pumpkin, it's sweet and fragrant, and rice grains were very popular at that time.

For babies who have a certain chewing ability or can eat adult rice, they can be cut into cubes, steamed with rice or added to porridge. Otherwise, it's a dish: potato chips or yam slices, and some vegetables are delicious ~ ~

3. Oats

One of the healthiest coarse grains, low in sugar, low in calories and high in nutrition. But some babies are easily allergic to oats, so everyone must pay attention.

There are too many kinds of oats on the market, which need to be cooked before they can be eaten, and some can be eaten directly by brewing with boiling water or milk. We have eaten both kinds of oats in our family, so we recommend the former. I usually use the second one when I really don't have time to cook in the morning.

Oatmeal porridge is good porridge. You love to bake hemp, and you can use it for breakfast faster in Aauto. I made two for your reference:

Let's talk about my big love first ~ pancakes, breakfast muffins

Mix eggs, banana puree, chopped nuts and oats soaked in milk overnight. I will also sprinkle a handful of Gia seeds and spread them into pancakes in a pan.

Turn on a small fire. After the batter is in the pot, don't rush to turn it over. Turn it over with a shovel when the edge is slightly inclined ~ ~

A delicious breakfast, a mouthful of milk, eggs and banana nuts, is rich in taste and delicious ~ ~ There is also a recipe that Mama Mi tried: eggs, milk, banana puree and muffin powder, but there is no muffin powder at home, and self-raising flour and low-gluten powder are also acceptable. Some people like to add fine sugar to the batter, or pour honey on it when they are out of the pot, but mother rice thinks that if she gives it to her baby, the sugar will be less ~ ~

Another automatic and quick oil-free egg oatmeal cake ~

Breakfast without a drop of oil, oil-free egg oatmeal cake, sounds very attractive ~ ~

Practice: Break up two eggs, mix them with oatmeal (instant) and milk, add some cranberries and chopped nuts, mix them evenly, pour them into the pot and fry them slowly, turn them over until the bottom is solidified, and separate them from the pot until both sides are golden. Crispy and delicious, I don't like sticky oats. It's awesome.

How's it going? Have you finished drooling?

PS: There are many oatmeal recipes on Pinterest. Parents who love cooking should search them ~ ~

In short, remember a principle, the baby's food thickness should be matched, and the amount of coarse grains should be gradually increased, so there is an adaptation process.

Dear friends, if you have any delicious recipes, please share them ~
