How to make babies eat snacks reasonably and moderately
Snacks refer to food eaten in addition to three meals a day. After the child is one year old, the stomach capacity is about 300 ml, the food intake is limited, and the chewing and digestion ability is relatively weak. Most of the food is thin and soft food, so the energy generated by the dinner food cannot meet the needs of the child's growth and development. Only by adding appropriate snacks between the two meals, can we get sufficient nutrition. It can be seen that eating snacks in a reasonable and moderate way is not only a kind of enjoyment in life, but also can make up for the lack of energy and nutrients for dinner, and play a role in easing tension. It is very important to choose snacks reasonably. Under the condition of ensuring nutrition, parents can take proper care of children's preferences. It is better to choose fresh, natural and digestible snacks, such as milk, fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans (crushed or whole grains according to age), or soft pasta. The best time for snacks is 9~10 a.m. and 3~4 p.m. After dinner, try not to eat other snacks, especially sweets, except fruits. Wash your hands before eating snacks, rinse your mouth after eating, and clean your teeth before going to bed to prevent dental caries. The amount of snacks per time shall not affect the appetite of the dinner. Try to choose small packaged food instead of buying exposed food in bulk. At the same time, parents should pay attention to identifying the nutritional composition, production date and shelf life of food, limit the food with high fat, sugar and salt, do not give children puffed or sticky food, and carefully choose fortified food. In addition, parents should not use snacks as a means to reward, punish and comfort their children.
