Why do we need to feed babies scientifically?
The baby is the conscience and heart of the parents, and parents want the best for their babies. When it comes to baby feeding, many parents don\’t know what to do best. This can easily lead to confusion and decisions for new parents. First of all, we need to understand the importance of feeding babies scientifically.
Scientific feeding can promote your baby\’s physical health and provide your baby with adequate nutrition and appropriate moisture. At the same time, scientific feeding can also cultivate the baby\’s eating habits and help the baby develop healthy eating habits, which is also very beneficial to the baby\’s physical fitness when he grows up.
How long should the feeding interval be?
The time between feedings should vary depending on the age of the baby. At the beginning, the newborn baby needs to be fed many times a day, about 1-2 hours, and the amount of feeding each time is also small. As the baby grows, the number of feedings per day gradually decreases, but the amount of feeding each time gradually increases. Generally speaking, the interval between meals for babies from 1 month to 3 months is 3-4 hours. When the baby starts to grow teeth, the interval between meals will become 4-5 hours. Babies generally need night feeding before 6 months old, so night feedings are more frequent, but the interval between meals should also be controlled within 3-4 hours.
How to feed your baby scientifically?
When feeding your baby, parents need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Food safety. Be sure to choose fresh, clean and pollution-free ingredients.
2. Carry out disinfection treatment. Use disposable utensils whenever possible, or sterilize them thoroughly before use.
3. Food temperature. The temperature of food should not be too high or too low, it should be the right temperature.
4. Pay attention to your eating habits. Let the baby learn to distinguish between sweet and salty foods from an early age, and do not give the baby too many candies, etc.
How to help babies develop healthy eating habits?
Your baby\’s eating habits need to be cultivated from an early age. Parents can do a good job in the following aspects:
1. Keep breastfeeding. Breastfeeding can provide adequate nutrition to the baby and enhance the baby\’s body immunity.
2. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Parents can make juice from vegetables and fruits appropriately and let the baby drink it, which will have a good effect on promoting the baby\’s eating habits.
3. Avoid giving your baby too much processed food. Parents should try to avoid giving their babies too much sugary and fatty foods. These foods are not only unhealthy, but can also cause diarrhea and other problems.
In short, scientific feeding is very important when feeding your baby. Parents should understand the feeding intervals of their babies and how to scientifically feed and cultivate their babies\’ eating habits, which can help their babies grow better.
