1, regular feeding and individualized milk quantity-problems that have to be mentioned besides complementary food.
Infants fed with formula milk or mixed breast milk and formula milk should be fed regularly, preferably every 4 hours; The amount of milk should be based on the baby's own satiety. Neither the milk quantity of other babies of the same age can be used as the standard, nor can it be "forced to meet the standard" according to the recommended quantity on the milk powder package. Every baby's digestion and absorption ability is different, and everyone knows that "enough is enough". Once your mouth is closed, push your nipple out or push the bottle with your hand, which means you are full. Don't let "overfeeding" help your baby get fat!
2. Drink water correctly to prevent "sweet water" from becoming an accomplice to the baby's overweight.
If you want to feed your baby at regular intervals and avoid frequent "eating", you must feed your baby with water between feedings. In this way, they will not eat too much because they mistake the signal of "thirst" for "hunger"
However, many parents often use crystal sugar water, fruit water and fruit juice instead of white water in order to make their babies drink more water, improve their stools or "supplement nutrition", which is very unscientific.
The correct way is to cultivate the baby's habit of drinking white water from an early age and prevent them from "puppy love" with sweet water, so as not to bring extra calorie intake and make their weight gain faster.
3. Let milk powder and complementary food "draw a clear line"
After adding complementary food, the baby's interest in milk will decrease. Parents should not make the milk powder thicker than the standard concentration in order to ensure the milk quantity, not to mention adding supplementary food such as rice flour to the milk prematurely, otherwise it will not only destroy the nutritional ratio of milk powder, but also make the baby puffy due to excessive calorie intake. For a 6-month-old baby, the combination of rice flour and egg yolk or puree should be a separate "dinner", which is very important for the cultivation of eating habits.
4, original complementary food DIY, don't let canned complementary food "add bricks and tiles" to your baby's weight.
Mommy had better make food such as vegetable paste and rice paste for her baby, and don't rely too much on all kinds of canned baby paste food on the market. Most of these foods are purified and taste good, but because they are processed too finely, some cellulose components are lost, and "fine nutrients" such as juice or sugar are added, so the calories are higher and the digestion and absorption are faster. Eating too much of this food will make fat babies gain weight faster.
5. Relieve the baby's "hunger"
For fat babies with strong appetite, increasing the amount of drinking water and increasing the proportion of vegetables and beans in complementary food can effectively increase satiety-homemade vegetables and bean paste are not only light in taste, but also rich in dietary fiber and minerals, which can help the baby's intestinal tract "exercise" and is a powerful assistant to eliminate toxins, eliminate excess fat, solve stool problems and control calorie intake!
Please keep the chubby baby away from the fruit.
If the baby is overweight, fruit snacks in the afternoon will definitely become a "burden"-again, the baby doesn't need fruit to supplement vitamins for 6 months, let alone calorie-intensive juice. It doesn't hurt to add fruit to the baby in the future.
7- 12 month old baby-
1, don't let "soup" help the baby "puffiness"
Parents are used to using chicken soup, bone soup and broth. Cooking porridge and stew for their baby is considered delicious and "nourishing". As everyone knows, the excessive fat in these animal soups is the "invisible accomplice" of the baby's overweight-a large amount of fat not only interferes with the absorption of calcium, affects digestion ability, increases body fat, but also reduces the baby's interest in "white-flavored" food and encourages the bad eating habits of "picky eaters". In fact, the original porridge, noodles, vegetables and meat are the most suitable complementary foods for babies. Broth can be used occasionally (65438+ 0-2 times a week), and the white oil floating on the surface should also be skimmed.
2. Lunch is "thin" and dinner is "vegetarian"
Meat is best concentrated in lunch, and it is advisable to choose high-protein and low-fat meat such as chicken breast, pork tenderloin, fish and shrimp; In the dinner menu, it is best to give priority to black fungus, tender mushrooms, onions, coriander, green leafy vegetables, melons, eggplant and tofu. The baby's digestive ability is weakened at night. Use these healthy "slimming" foods to help your baby exercise chewing ability, increase satiety and control calorie intake, which not only protects the gastrointestinal tract but also prevents overweight, killing two birds with one stone.
3. Avoid the excessive proportion of starch complementary food in fat baby's diet.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, taro, lotus roots and other foods are easy to "chew" and contain a lot of starch, so they are easy to be eaten, so they are easy to "encourage" the baby's weight. So mommy should reduce the frequency of their appearance in the baby's menu, and it is best to eat them with green leafy vegetables instead of a lot of meat.
4, control the fruit only "eat" and not "drink"
If the baby eats well, there is no need to eat a lot of fruit except dinner. One and a half apples a day is enough. If it is a fruit with high sweetness, such as grapes and lychees, it should not be too much, because the sugar in the fruit is an accomplice to weight. In addition, the calorie density of fruit juice, especially bottled fruit juice on the market, is much higher than that of fresh fruit, and the speed of "bowel movement" is too fast. Drinking it is not only long and full, but also bad for teeth, which is not suitable for fat babies to eat more.
5. Control "oil" and "sugar" and reduce snacks.
These are two "slimming nemesis", so don't appear too much in the complementary food of fat babies. In addition, grinding sticks and biscuits are good tools to exercise your baby's chewing ability, but they are often high-oil or high-sugar foods and should not be given to fat babies. Mommy can use baked steamed bread and sliced bread instead.
6. Eat coarse grains in moderation
Various miscellaneous grains, such as miscellaneous beans, oats, naked oats, coix seed, etc., can increase the baby's satiety and accelerate the excretion of metabolic waste, far exceeding that of polished rice. If the baby's gastrointestinal tract is acceptable, it can be made into rotten porridge and rotten rice for the fat baby.
Relaxation is the most comfortable attitude towards life. Life is
