New Year's holidays are the time when children receive a huge number of different sweet sets as gifts, steal desserts from the holiday table or simply start actively begging their parents for treats.
But not all sweets can be eaten by children.
Pediatrician Elena Igrineva spoke about this in more detail, RT reports.
As the doctor noted, lollipops, toffees and chewing candies are the most dangerous sweets.
The thing is that they stick to the teeth and slowly dissolve in the mouth. This eventually leads to the destruction of enamel and the appearance of caries.
Therefore, these desserts should be replaced with healthier and more natural ones. For example, with pastila or marmalade, which are made from berries and fruits.
Igrineva also emphasized that it is necessary to remember the restrictions in order to avoid the occurrence of diseases and allergic reactions.
For example, a preschooler can eat two chocolates, a portion of marshmallows or two pieces of marmalade per day. This can also be replaced with pastila or one wafer. But it should be taken into account that you can only choose one thing from the list.
If the baby has problems with weight, skin or blood sugar levels, then you need to choose berries and fruits, natural yoghurts or cottage cheese. You must consult with your doctor.
