Food you shouldn't feed to babies
Be sure to know! Things you shouldn't feed your baby
After the baby food started, the only thing that moms are worried about is, "Is it okay to feed this ingredient to my baby?" The ingredients that children eat for the first time are anxious. In such a case, that is good in advance, this is no good! If you have such knowledge, you will feel a little relieved. Even if adults eat normally, there are actually quite a few ingredients that are not good for the baby's body. So, this time, I've summarized the foods that should not be eaten by babies and should be noted.
Foods that may cause food poisoning
HoneyThis is famous, but since honey is basically a natural food that has not been heat-treated, Clostridium botulinum can get in on rare occasions. It's okay if you're over 1 year old and have good digestive function, but babies under 1 year old are still weak in resistance and can become infected with Clostridium botulinum and develop "infant botulism". "Infant botulism" is a deadly and terrifying thing. Besides honey itself, drinks, sweets and foods containing honey are also NG.Raw fishBacteria may be attached to raw fish. Adults are fine, but babies can cause food poisoning when eaten. Let's feed raw fish only after graduating from baby food completely.
Food that easily gets stuck in the throat
Be careful of things that are difficult to chew (rice cakes, jellies, seaweed, etc.) and small, round things (nuts, beans, candies, cherry tomatoes, etc.). This is because it can get stuck in your throat and cause a choking accident. Babies who are not yet able to chew may accidentally swallow and cause a choking accident. For baby food, choose one that is hard and large enough for your baby to eat.High in sugar, fat and saltAvoid feeding high-sugar, fat, and salt foods such as chocolate, ice cream, snacks, fast food, and juice to babies during the baby food period. Even after the baby food period, it is not very good for your health to overeat these luxury items.Ingredients containing food additivesProcessed foods such as ham and wiener contain a lot of food additives such as preservatives, colorings and flavors. Since it contains a lot of salt, if you want to feed processed foods, do it after early childhood.
Foods that are prone to allergies
Be aware of ingredients that can cause allergies. Your baby doesn't know what ingredients will cause an allergic reaction. Eat foods that are likely to cause allergies when your baby is in good physical condition. It's a good idea to choose the morning when the hospital is open, in case you feel sick because of the ingredients. Start with a small amount and eat while watching the situation.The following 6 ingredients require special attention as ingredients that may cause allergies. I will show you when and how to feed them to your baby, so please refer to them.EggWhen your baby is 7-8 months old, feed him a well-cooked yolk. Give whole eggs after 9 months of age.MilkWhen you are 7-8 months old, use cooked milk for cooking or give it little by little. The point is to always heat it. If you don't have to worry about allergies, you can also use cheese or yogurt.WheatWheat should be used after 7 to 8 months of age. At first, chop the wheat products into small pieces and feed them in less than a spoonful.PeanutAvoid peanuts during the baby food season. After the age of one, crush it well and mix it with vegetables to see how it looks. Give it as a grain after 3 years old.Shrimp and crabShrimp and crab are prone to allergic reactions and are not digestible, so it is safer to avoid the baby food period. If you do, give it well-heated after one and a half years.Did you find it helpful? At this time of year when you don't know if you will have food allergies, please give it while observing the baby's condition. As I grow older, I will be able to eat anything (except for food allergies), so I would like to provide foods for 1-2 years old that are as comfortable and reassuring as possible. The important thing is to have the right knowledge and give something that is in the stage of development. While paying attention to the ingredients that you should be careful of, increase the ingredients according to the stage of development and make a delicious and enjoyable baby food time.
