3 Mistakes Parents Make in Feeding Children After One Year: How to Avoid Them
24.06.2024 21:27
During the period when a child is fed only with breast milk or formula, and then switches to complementary foods, parents usually closely monitor his diet.
However, with age, control weakens. This cannot be allowed - small indulgences are fraught with fundamental errors in the organization of children's nutrition.
Food as a reward or punishment
Desserts are food, too. You can eat them for pleasure, but not often – don’t turn candy into an incentive to encourage your child to eat the main course.
You can’t give treats as a reward or deprive a child of them if he has done something wrong: in such a situation, the baby begins to perceive sweets as something very attractive and dreams of getting them.
Ban on products that are not dangerous to health
If a child is diagnosed with intolerance to any product, of course, it should not be present in the child’s diet.
But you shouldn’t forbid sweets or French fries – it’s enough to control their quantity on your child’s table.
Products that are prohibited for children under 3 years of age
If your child is one year old, this does not mean that you can feed him mushrooms, fatty, sweet, spicy or pickled foods, fast food, soda, sausages, salami, etc.
He simply won’t be able to digest everything that an adult stomach can handle without any problems.
