New mothers are inexperienced and always think about the best baby.
I just gave birth to my baby. Which brand of diapers should I use? What kind of material is suitable for baby's cup and spoon? Oh, too much trouble!
If the baby grows up and faces various interests, the early education class will start to worry about what to choose for the baby. Don't choose, everyone's dolls are learning, and my doll won't lose at the starting line. A, this is so troublesome!
Studies have pointed out that China has become the region with the highest education cost in the world, and more than one third of parents spend all their time on their children.
On the road of raising children, it can be said that Yaya's mother, like everyone else, has taken countless roads and explored countless forms. It can be said that she has made a lot of efforts and money for her children, just hoping for a good result.
So, what is unnecessary?
Look at the secret that the pediatrician told her mother: raising children will cost less!

I have been drinking formula milk until I was 3 years old.
I don't know when my mother began to pursue various functional ingredients added to formula milk powder. Many children who know their mothers are in primary school and still drink formula milk powder, which is only used for formula milk powder: DHA, lactoferrin, probiotics and so on. But is it really necessary? How old is the formula? Drink?
With regard to children's drinking, the current academic circles and international authorities suggest the following:
Before one year old: try to give priority to breast milk. If it is really difficult, use formula milk (breast milk is the best choice);
About six months: gradually add complementary food, breast milk or formula milk is still the main source of nutrition;
One to two years old: Nutrition mainly comes from the regular diet, and milk is only a part of the comprehensive diet. Drink whole milk between one and two years old;
After two years old: according to the child's eating habits, you can change to semi-fat, low-fat or skim milk.

DHA, be sure to make up.
DHA has always been a hot topic among parents, but some unscrupulous advertisers exaggerate the propaganda of DHA, which leads to misunderstanding of DHA.
In fact, DHA is just a kind of fat, not a special nutrient. For the human body, there is no need for any substance and no preference, so DHA and other fats are equal at birth.
However, not all DHA is suitable for infants, so it needs to be carefully selected. If there is no scientific way to make up for it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
1. Infants who are exclusively breastfed do not need to be supplemented with DHA, as long as their mothers ensure that they get enough DHA through their diet.
2. Infants fed with pure milk powder basically do not need to supplement DHA, because the milk powder on the market contains fortified DHA, so the intake of DHA in infants is also sufficient.
3. After the baby starts to add complementary food, you can supplement DHA by adjusting your diet. Fish and algae food are the best natural sources of DHA. For example, fish include salmon, sardines and cuttlefish; Seaweed includes kelp, laver and Undaria pinnatifida; They can also eat shrimp, crabs and shellfish; The most common is egg yolk.

Children have diarrhea and can only drink porridge.
The child is ill, so he can only drink porridge to recuperate his stomach!
Children have diarrhea, I should only drink porridge to recuperate!
Even if you have constipation, as a parent, do you only give your children porridge?
Many times parents think that the baby should eat porridge to stop diarrhea and dare not give the baby other food.
In fact, when the baby has diarrhea, there is no need to limit the diet. Restricting diet will make the baby not get enough nutritional supplements, which is not conducive to the recovery of diarrhea; When the baby has diarrhea, parents should arrange a reasonable diet for the baby, so that the baby can eat easily digestible food, such as noodles, noodle soup and porridge.
If the baby vomits, you can try to stop feeding 1 hour first. After the symptoms are relieved, let the baby chew slowly through a small amount of meals, balanced nutrition and reasonable collocation.

High calcium cheese is not necessary.
A small piece of cheese can get more calcium than milk. Ten kilograms of milk can only make one kilogram of cheese, so the calcium content of a small piece of cheese can be equivalent to a large glass of milk.
Cheese tastes good and can be used as an ingredient in many delicious dishes. Delicious and healthy. It's just calcium supplements.
In recent years, various concepts have appeared in the cheese market, such as "growing cheese", "whey cheese" and "high calcium cheese", as well as cheese with trace elements, which makes mothers feel confused and don't know how to choose.
Many cheese products on the market are processed cheese. In addition to various additives, real cheese actually contains very little (the proportion of cheese stipulated by the state exceeds 15%), and the nutritional components (calcium and protein) will naturally be greatly reduced.
Therefore, natural cheese is the best choice for babies.

/kloc-It is not recommended to give children fruit juice before 0/year old.
Drinking juice is not the same as eating fruit directly. It is more convenient to drink juice. Some people even think that juice is not the essence of fruit?
We know that eating more fiber for baby fruit is a major reason to promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation, but after juicing, very important dietary fiber is discarded.
Compared with fruit, the content of sugar and acid in fruit juice is higher, which is easy to cause tooth decay, obesity and gastrointestinal discomfort (such as diarrhea, bloating and loss of appetite). ), malnutrition and so on.
The American Pediatric Association's advice on drinking fruit juice is:
0- 12 months: It is not recommended to drink fruit juice unless it is used to relieve infant constipation.
1-3 years old: drink no more than 1 18 per day? 188 ml. In order to prevent dental caries, it is suggested to use cups instead of bottles.
3-6 years old: Drink no more than 177ml of fruit juice every day.
Over 7 years old: Drink no more than 355ml of juice every day.

Children's food is unreliable.
Walking into the supermarket, there are advertisements for all kinds of "children's special" foods and articles, such as children's noodles, children's milk, children's soy sauce, children's meat slices, children's toothpaste … even baby's special mineral water.
"Children's milk" contains many additives, so children should drink less water.
If you look carefully at the ingredients list of these children's milk, you will find that there are many food additives besides milk, such as sodium citrate, aspartame, xanthan gum and edible spices. Some pigments and spices in these additives are not recommended to be added to children's food, which will increase the burden on children's kidneys and liver.
"Children's soy sauce" has low salt content and little difference in nutritional components.
By carefully comparing the raw materials and nutrition table on the outer packaging, it is found that there is little difference between them and ordinary soy sauce, and some nutrients are even lower than ordinary soy sauce. 1 year-old children's sodium intake target is only a quarter of that of adults. People under/kloc-0 don't need to add any salty condiments, including soy sauce.
"Baby mineral water" is not reliable.
Babies have high mineral content, which will increase the burden on the kidneys after drinking, which is not conducive to health. Boiled tap water can soften minerals in water and is more suitable for direct drinking.
Moreover, there is no such drinking water in China, and there is no relevant standard. The water quality standards imported from abroad are difficult to determine, and the effectiveness of publicity cannot be verified.

Don't give your child too much rice flour after 8 months.
There is no denying that rice flour is indeed the best food for babies, especially iron-containing baby rice flour, which can supplement the extra iron demand of breast-fed babies.
Baby is 8 months old and can eat rotten noodles, chopped vegetables, minced meat, minced fish, tofu, dried sauce, steamed bread, biscuits, porridge and other foods. You can also eat rice noodles, but eating rice noodles for only 8 months can easily lead to nutritional imbalance and affect your baby's normal chewing and swallowing function.
After 8 months, the baby's complementary food should be thickened from thin to thick, providing the baby with granules and lumps. Particles from small to large, from soft to hard, not only help to improve the baby's chewing ability, but also promote tooth development.
The staple food can be thick porridge, soft rice, rotten noodles, jiaozi, wonton and so on. Egg yolk, liver sauce, tofu, minced meat, cut vegetables and small pieces of fruit can all be given to the baby. You can also try to grab food by hand at the age of one, starting with softer food, such as banana pieces and pumpkin pieces. Try hard food, such as cucumber slices, apple slices, chicken pieces and toast.

Colostrum cannot improve children's immunity.
Bovine colostrum is rich in immunoglobulin (especially IgG), protein and growth factors, which are much higher than human colostrum. So colostrum is really a rare good thing for newborn calves.
Then the question comes: can colostrum really enhance the immunity of babies?
The answer is no!
Although the content of protein and immune protein in bovine colostrum is much higher than that in human colostrum, the immunoglobulin in bovine colostrum is different from that in human colostrum-bovine immunoglobulin is mainly G(IgG) and human immunoglobulin is mainly A(IgA).
In other words, immunoglobulin in bovine colostrum is a disease that is easy to immunize cattle, and has little effect on improving human immunity.
If the baby is breast-fed, there is no need to supplement colostrum. Breast milk is already rich in immunoglobulins that babies need, and there are many other immune components. Breast milk is enough.
It is not recommended that babies who are not breast-fed should not use it, mainly because the bovine colostrum powder products on the market still lack standardization and safety.
From September, 2065438+February, the National Health and Family Planning Commission banned the addition of bovine colostrum and dairy products made from bovine colostrum to infant formula.
For infants over 1 year old, the immunoglobulin in bovine colostrum is of little significance, because the immune system of infants over 1 year old has been gradually improved, so immunoglobulin can be synthesized from daily nutrition, so it is not necessary for older infants to drink colostrum!
In fact, many parents do not need to "raise" their children. In addition to the necessary hygiene and safety, it is much better to let children exercise more and eat a balanced diet than to eat better and more expensive nutrients!
