Breast milk is the best baby food

　　For novice mothers who have just given birth, milk is indeed relatively small in the first week of the newborn, but at this time the newborn needs less, so the mother does not need to be particularly anxious, let alone add formula powder, and insist on giving the child every time Feeding will make your milk more and more abundant. As everyone knows, breast milk is the best baby food, so exclusive breastfeeding in 0 to 6 months will bring great benefits to your baby.

    If the baby's weight gain is not ideal and he does not grow according to the normal growth curve as expected, we can judge that breast milk is indeed insufficient according to these objective factors. We can take some measures, such as increasing the sleeping time of the mother, maintaining a happy mood, and more balanced nutrition. See if there are any situations that are not conducive to milk secretion during feeding. In addition, in rare cases, it may be determined that breast milk may not be enough, so adding formula powder at this time does not mean giving up breastfeeding. Although formula powder may be added, the child should still be sucked according to the time point. If it is not sucked, the longer the interval is, the less breast milk is secreted, so it is necessary to stick to it regardless of the amount of breast milk. It is very important to the child's body, growth and development, and to the child's mental health. Breastfeeding is also very important to the health of the mother.

The child is crying, he is actually sending you a message

Before the child forms a language, crying is actually language.Baby may be crying to tell you that he is thirsty, hungry, peeing, pulled, cold, hot, pain ... 

Baby hopes the need for love,  wants you to hug him and so on. Because he has no way to use a specific language, understand the language we use, to mom and dad and caregivers to tell, this time he will use crying, not with crying,there will be body language, and some other To express with expressions, as a parent, you must learn to interpret the child and interpret the child's cry.

If the baby is crying, he does not have to hug immediately, but he must respond. If he does not respond, he loses a sense of security. Of course, if he really only wants his mother to hug him, it is understandable. .

Feeding time requires the mother to be flexible

Four months before the baby get up at night to milk is quite normal, for four months before the baby at night is the need to eat, because in four months before his brain growth is rapid and requires constant oxygen supply, supply of sugar, and four months before the baby sugar reserve is the ability small, so it is converted from glycogen into glucose is also low, we need two to four hours to his supply of nutrients, nutrition, day and night, so the children get up to milk. This is quite normal.

There are individual differences in breastfeeding, and the child's lifestyle is gradually developed.

From 4 months, infants liver glycogen ability to release began to increase strength, can be converted into glucose, then you can have for a long time without eating, six hours, or even longer. But it is not always true, there will be some personalized differences in breastfeeding, such as the mothers physical and mood reasons, the milk secretion is less, of course, there are factors of children, it may just be a little sleepy, the amount of milk sucked in is not so Many, then for a few hours, I was hungry again at 2 or 3 in the middle of the night. At any time, we have to cultivate a good sleeping habits and a good living habits for children, but we always have to exclude some individual situations, and we must follow the childs emotions, we cannot judge with our subjective will," because at night we cannot If you eat milk,you can't eat it firmly.”It can't be like this. We just have this principle, but mothers still have to be flexible.

Adding food supplements pay attention to the time mud food is preferred

  The International Health Organization recommends breast feeding for children up to 6 months old, so supplementary foods can be added gradually after 6 months. Some children may need to add complementary foods early in rare cases, but the earliest should not be earlier than 17 weeks, that is, children who are 4 months old, then the latest, and not later than 26 weeks, that is, 6 months. Within this range, adding complementary foods is the best period choice.

Adding order of complementary food

  Under normal circumstances, the first introduction of supplementary foods for children is baby rice noodles, rice paste-like complementary foods, which are more suitable from the baby's taste and nutritional requirements. The second one introduces vegetable puree. The vegetable puree is a bit bitter. The child is naturally sweet. If he eats the sweet puree first, he may not accept the vegetable puree. Then add the vegetable puree and add the puree slightly. Add a little puree to the vegetable puree, go over it, and gradually introduce it little by little. So in 8,9 months old, you can introduce some comparative meat of the food, and for example mess, fish paste, egg yolk mud, etc., but add complementary feeding time, to one kind of an additive, to see whether the child Tolerance, if not, stop immediately. Intolerance and non-acceptance are the two concepts, intolerance is in after eating there have been some exceptions, such as nausea, vomiting, or rash, eczema, allergies, and even diarrhea, abdominal distension, etc. , stop for some time in the future Try to re-introduce slowly. Do not accept is: do not like to eat, do not accept the words of my mother do not give up immediately, under normal circumstances, the baby of the food was the need for a process of getting used to, most children need to 6,7 times. Baby has a strangeness,like to see a strange man. Like the food will there is a case, after the children for six months, the liver storage of iron obtained from the mother here will gradually consumed, if we do not strengthen the introduction of iron-containing food supplement, may be the problem of iron deficiency occurs, So we still need to add supplementary food to the child.

Introduction time of coarse grains

 Coarse grains are miscellaneous grains other than rice and white noodles. They are also called coarse grains, including corn noodles, millet beans, and barley. For children, whether to accept, there is still a lot of background differences, we can also according to the child's situation to try. For example, after eating there almost a month of rice flour after the child is very tolerant, I can try millet flour, as long as the child who was not strange, that he was tolerated no problem, as you can go as gradually added.

How to deal with "stockpiling"

   " Eating food" is generally called indigestion. Due to eating or excessive ingestion of indigestible food, the intestinal tract is irregular or strikes. Some children urine will be normal, good appetite, eat more,but the mother may feel that their kids are not little" indigestion ", and to control his diet, in fact, we do not need special subjective judgments about it, the child will be seen For example, indigestion, the child's intestines swelled, his stomach swelled, and the whole food did not go down. In fact, the child's appetite will decrease. He does not want to eat and may even have nausea and stomach pain. If it is a small baby, refuse to eat.

 The first reason for the accumulation of food is that the adult feeds according to subjective choking. The so-called duck-feeding, we always feel that the child does not eat enough , and when the child no longer eats, he is suddenly given it. At this time, the child must easily accumulate food. In fact, many times indigestion is an artificial problem. The second is to provide a child's diet is unreasonable , some parents heard that eating deep-sea fish is particularly good, and that it is necessary to give the children to eat, in fact, the child's dietary needs with a reasonable, limited food intake. The third kind is because of illness, the child's entire digestive system will also decline, and viral enteritis, or too tired, uncomfortable, and intestinal digestion will appear, then it is easy to increase his intestinal burden, respect This is the best choice for children.

Fat and thin do not have to tangle the growth curve for reference

  The weight and weight of children are certainly very different. Some children with the same food intake tend to be fat, and some children are thinner. This is related to the child 's absorption, utilization , and family genetic tendencies . Some children are thinner if they eat less. It is true that he has a smaller appetite and eats less, while some children are particularly active. Although they eat a lot, they consume a lot of activities and may be lean. Some children actually eat well, but the mother gives him more of a low-density diet, and the calories are too low. For example, three meals a day are porridge, soup, vegetables, or a lot of vegetables and fruits. If you eat too much calorie food, your child will not get enough calories. So thin fat child is not as important as whether the child is healthy, the surgeon's opinion, some children belong lanky type, there is a child is overweight type, but very healthy, nor lack of various nutrients, child He is in very good physical condition and mothers do not have to feed a small fat man . But if the child is too fat, we have to look at it, it is a normal baby fat during infancy, and there is no need to deal with it . If it is determined to be pathologically thin, or the entire growth curve is slowly down. Drop below the normal range, then the doctor will look for possible disease given treatment. In fact, the child has a normal growth curve. As long as he grows along the curve (growth rate) in this normal growth curve, then the parents should not be too entangled with whether my child is fat or thin. 

Improving immunity is the secret to not getting sick

　Immunity is a problem that mothers attach great importance to. In fact, when children are sick, in addition to congenital genetic diseases, there are very rare diseases that require medical intervention. Most children are growing and face many microorganisms in nature after birth. Very few pathogenic microorganisms cause temporary body infections, common are acute respiratory infections and intestinal infections. In fact, it is the only way for children to grow up. The immune system is constantly undergoing changes in the pathogenic microorganisms. As you get better, you will be able to resist pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, the mother must have a correct understanding: a baby between the ages of 0 and 1 may have 3 or 4 colds in a year, which is a normal imagination, and he cannot think that his immune system is defective. It is normal for a young child (1 to 3 years old) to have respiratory infections or intestinal infections about 5 or 6 times a year. As you age, the number of illnesses decreases. How to improve your child's immunity? Immunity is a human survival license. If a child is born without a perfect immunity, in fact, he does not get a survival license. Immunity is innate and not given by us the day after tomorrow. Parents need to protect their children's immune system so that they can grow up healthy.

　　Improving immunity first requires complete health management of the child, regular health care, health assessment, and timely discovery of small problems for the child.

　　Give your child scientific feeding. Nutrition and immunity have a very important relationship. For example, children with anemia have lower immunity, and children with zinc deficiency have poorer immune system in the respiratory tract, so give him a balanced nutrition.

　　motion. Sports also include cold hardening exercises. Everyone knows that "flower seedlings in the greenhouse" are not conducive to children's growth. You must let your children do more outdoor activities and be able to withstand the cold stimuli. He is about the same temperature as an adult can tolerate.

　　Sleep 

Deficiency is definitely depriving children of their health. Adults who are deaf can have sub-health, so that children can ensure quality sleep, which is a very protective measure for the immune system.

　　Give your child a chance to fight the disease. When the child is ill, we should not transition to treatment. Too much intervention on the child will make the child's immunity not play well. In fact, fever itself is a protection of the immune system for children. For example, a child is infected with a virus. When a virus infects the body, it enters cells and multiplies and replicates. From a rapid replication to tens of thousands, fever can reduce the virus replication The speed can even make the virus completely unable to replicate, and the disease is faster. If the child has a fever and does not reach a certain temperature, he must not take medicine particularly actively, so that the virus cannot help but inhibit its replication. Children with fever will be uncomfortable, and even severe hyperthermia can reach 39 or 40 degrees, which will cause febrile seizures. Therefore, when children exceed 38.5 degrees, they do not control their body temperature by drinking water or physical cooling. Heat medicine, not only the child is more comfortable, but also can avoid high fever convulsions. But if the child does not reach this temperature, it is necessary to feed the child more water, so that the child has a defense process of the autoimmune system.

　　For example, with upper respiratory tract virus infection, antibiotics not only have no effect, they also have a damage to the immune system, which can cause drug resistance and hurt the child's stomach. All in all, if your child does not have a bacterial infection and uses antibiotics, it will only do harm to the child.

Keep your mouth shut for holidays

  Children are susceptible to illness on holidays. Sometimes children get sick sometimes on Saturdays and Sundays, because Saturday and Sunday disrupt all the rules of life. Some children have intestinal diseases. Children can eat everything, and snacks and even go to restaurants are not too bad. The Spring Festival is coming. The mother may want to take her child to watch relatives and friends.They must follow some principles to keep the child from getting sick during the Spring Festival.

 The Spring Festival is in winter. Winter and spring are just the season when children are most susceptible to illness. They are prone to colds and intestinal problems. It is also important to catch up with the festival. It is especially important to spend a safe Spring Festival. Mouth should still be hot and cold even, and snacks should be given proper control . Parents need to help their children choose which snacks are good for digestion and healthier.

The second is to sleep. Because there are many people during the holiday, children need to sleep during the day, and small babies need to sleep two or three. Children's characteristics are that they are more deprived and more energetic. When they reach the extreme, they are particularly noisy, so it is necessary to ensure that the child has a sleep time every day .

Note that the third infectious disease, because people are more Chinese New Year, also move around more, be more influenza virus, so some protection, especially in bad weather, with haze of time, need to purify indoor air, to go out to do good protection, go back to wash their hands, many diseases are spread by hand, adults and children should wash their hands effectively.
