Foods To Avoid Giving Babies And Young Children
For the first few months, breast milk is
sufficient for a baby. It is the direction of WHO
(World Health Organization). But, as your baby
grows, starting a variety of healthy foods at the
proper time is important for proper growth and
development. Starting good eating habits at this
early stage will help set healthy eating patterns
for life. A visiting pediatrician in a Childcare
in La Palma, CA tells that appropriate and
healthy feeding of your baby during the first few
years of life is very important. More growth
occurs during the first year than at any other
time in a childs life.

For the first 4 o 5 months, solid foods should
not be started unless the physician advises you
to do so. Solid foods should not be started for
infants younger than 4 months because mothers
milk is sufficient and supply all nutrients that
a baby needs. It also helps to enhance the immune
system of the baby. Besides this, your baby is
not physically developed enough to eat solid
foods from a spoon. After six months, start
giving baby semisolid food like mashed rice,
mashed potato, etc. and after one year try to
make a healthy eating habit of your child.

Parents often ask what is a healthy eating habit.
It is not overstuffing your babies with all
healthy good foods. Even good food can be trouble
if it is not paired properly. The wrong food
combination can trigger many health issues in
kids. According to a dietician in a Childcare
center in La Palma, CA, healthy eating is
balanced eating. There is no need to add salt and
sugar to your childs food because pulses,
grains, fruits, and vegetables all contain
natural salt and sugar which are needed for the
body. So, no excess addition of salt and sugar in
food is needed.

Babies should not eat much salt as it is not good
for kidneys. So do not use salt, stock, spice
cubes, or gravy when you are making food for
them. Keep your kids far away from salty foods
like bacon, sausages, chicken nuggets, chips with
added salt, crackers, crisps, processed meat,
ready meals, etc.

Sugary food is another favorite food for kids
though the baby does not need sugar anymore. Keep
them away from sugary foods like cakes, candy,
chocolates, readymade fruit juice, etc. because
too many sugary foods lead to tooth decay.
Restrict giving your children sugar cereals
because those cereals are loaded with artificial
sugar and flavor. Children should not be given
canned or packaged juices because those foods
contain preservatives and color which in the long
run may create different health issues like
cancer. Moreover, regular intake of canned food
can increase the risk of being obese and
developing diabetes.

Even good food can create trouble if it is not
paired properly. The wrong food combination can
trigger many health issues in kids including
indigestion, gas, colic, nausea, vomiting,
poisoning, etc. Some children are allergic to
some types of food. Try to identify it. Visit a
pediatrician if your child shows any kind of un
comfortableness after eating any food.
