As the baby's age grows, it is necessary to add complementary food to the baby to make up for the lack of pure dairy products and promote healthy growth of the child. Experts recommend that babies less than 1 year old should make food supplements less sugar, salt, and seasonings.

(1) Less sugar

宝宝

"Less sugar" means that when you make food for your baby, try not to add sugar, keep the original taste of the food, let the baby taste the natural taste of various foods, and at the same time, choose less sugary foods such as sweets and cakes as complementary foods. If the baby eats less sweet foods starting from adding complementary foods, he or she will automatically adapt to the low-sugar diet; otherwise, if the baby's food is sugared at this time, he will gradually adapt to the sweet diet, and later meet and hold. Sugary foods naturally show rejection, causing problems with picky eaters. They also lay hidden dangers for future obesity.

Excessive sugar consumption will not only cause obesity, but also affect the absorption and utilization of protein and fat by the baby, resulting in the lack of vitamin B1 and trace elements. It can also reduce appetite due to high blood glucose concentration for a long time, if not brush your teeth in time It will also increase the occurrence of dental caries.

(2) No salt

"Salt-free" food supplements for babies within 1 year of age do not need to add salt. Because the baby's kidney function within 1 year of age is not perfect, the concentration and dilution function is poor, and excessive sodium salts cannot be discharged from the body. Excessive intake of salt will increase the burden on the kidneys and develop the habit of the baby eating salty food. Reluctance to accept mild foods may affect the sensitivity of the baby's sense of taste in the long term, and may cause problems with picky eaters, and may even increase the risk of developing hypertension in adulthood.

Eating too much salt is also a cause of upper respiratory infections, because high-salt diets may inhibit the proliferation of mucosal epithelial cells, rendering them resistant to disease.

The baby within 1 year of age needs less than 1 gram of salt per day, and the sodium contained in breastmilk, formula and other foods is sufficient to meet the baby's needs. You can add a little salt when making food for a baby over 1 year old, but the amount must be appropriate (the recommended amount is 1 g/day). Soy sauce, chicken and other condiments and finished foods that are bought back contain salt. If such foods or seasonings are added, the amount of salt must be reduced.

(3) No irritating seasoning

Baby food supplement is best not add MSG, chicken, flavor, pepper, aniseed, cinnamon, onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings, because spicy spices will have a strong stimulation of the baby's gastrointestinal tract, and some Condiments (such as monosodium glutamate, chicken essence) will decompose and release toxins at high temperatures, which will damage your baby's health. A strong seasoning taste will hinder the baby from experiencing the natural taste of the food itself, and long-term consumption may make the baby develop a bad habit of picky eaters.

Many mothers worry that baby foods without food supplements will not be eaten in food supplements. In fact, the taste of breast milk or formula milk is lighter. Compared with breast milk and formula milk, the taste of food supplements has become much richer. Don't look at your baby's habits with adult habits. Sugar-free, salt-free vegetable water, and light, nutritious rice noodles may not be good for adults. However, the baby's initial exposure to this kind of taste is not objectionable. Do not make unpleasant looks in front of your baby. This will affect your baby’s taste for certain foods.

After 3 years of age, children's digestive function has matured, various digestive enzymes have developed completely, intestinal absorption function is good, and can basically endure various flavors of food. At this time, the baby can eat food with seasoning. Even so, for the sake of the baby, and for the health of all members of the family, it is recommended that dietary habits such as low salt, low sugar, and moderate oil be maintained.
