There are many rumors about precocious puberty in the circle of friends. Ripening fruits, soy milk, honey, sleeping in the same bed, etc. are all causes of precocious puberty in babies. Why does precocious puberty make mommies \”change their color when they smell precocious puberty\”? Because precocious puberty will affect the baby\’s height growth and growth. Therefore, some rumor mongers take advantage of parents\’ panic and spread rumors in order to attract attention. Then here comes the problem! Do these foods or behaviors really cause precocious puberty in babies? What are the symptoms of precocious puberty? Who is the \”real culprit\” that causes premature puberty in babies? Moms and dads, move your little bench and watch how Doudehui reveals the true face of the rumors! 4 truths behind precocious puberty 1. Honey Some people say that honey contains hormones that can induce precocious puberty. But in fact, the hormones in honey are plant hormones and do not produce hormonal effects on the human body. Because sugar and water in honey account for about 99%, minerals, proteins and pollen only account for about 1%… and the so-called plant hormones are in pollen, so the statement that tiny hormones can cause precocious puberty is not true. The truth is that the reason why infants and young children are not recommended to consume honey is not because it will cause premature puberty, but because it contains high sugar content and is easily allergic. Once contaminated with botulinum toxin, it can cause diarrhea or poisoning in babies. Therefore, parents must remember that babies under 1 year old cannot drink honey water or eat food containing honey! 2. Soy milk Soy milk does contain soy isoflavones, which have similar effects to estrogen. Therefore, some people conclude that \”soy milk can cause precocious puberty.\” In fact, this statement is not rigorous. The presence of isoflavones does not mean that soy milk will definitely cause precocious puberty, because the content of isoflavones in soy milk is very low. If you drink one or two cups of soy milk every day, there is no need to worry about it causing precocious puberty. The truth is that no matter how good something is, excess will always cause side effects. Therefore, don’t drink soy milk because you think it is rich in nutrients, and don’t dare to touch even a drop because you are worried about premature puberty. 3. Ripe fruits. Some fruit farmers use a ripening agent called \”ethylene\” to ripen fruits. However, \”ethylene\” is a type of plant hormone and is different from human hormones, not to mention that it can cause premature puberty. The truth is that ripened fruits may have differences in taste, so it is recommended to choose naturally ripened fruits as much as possible. 4. Sleeping in the same bed. Some people say that if a baby sleeps in the same bed as his or her parents or next to their parents, the parents\’ bodies will produce a certain amount of exogenous hormones that may cause precocious puberty in the child. In fact, there is no relationship between precocious puberty and sleeping in the same bed. There is currently no data confirming that sleeping in the same bed will induce precocious puberty in children. Despite the truth, Doudehui still does not recommend sleeping in the same bed. Because the biggest danger of sleeping in the same bed is: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome! The younger the baby, the greater the probability of this kind of danger. Because the baby\’s muscles and motor abilities are not yet mature, they do not have the ability to control their bodies independently. When the baby is squeezed, the bedding blocks the mouth and nose, or the mother falls asleep while breastfeeding, the baby may suffocate and die. What are the symptoms of precocious puberty? Girls: Secondary sexual characteristics such as enlarged breasts, growth of pubic and armpit hair, and increased vaginal secretions appear within 8 years of age, and appear within 10 years of age.Menstrual cramps are considered precocious puberty. Boys: Precocious puberty in men is defined as the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics such as beard, voice change, enlargement of testicles or penis, and ejaculation within the age of 9 years. Who is to blame for premature puberty in children? Four words: It’s so delicious! Research shows that unreasonable diet, overnutrition, obesity, and indiscriminate consumption of supplements and health products are the main causes of precocious puberty in young children. In addition, there are long-term exposure to tableware, toys or other products containing phthalates (plasticizers, which increase the softness of plastic products); misuse of hormone-containing drugs (contraceptive pills and height-enhancing drugs) or Cosmetics; intracranial infection or tumor; environmental pollution and other factors are also causes of precocious puberty! The \”high-risk foods and behaviors for precocious puberty\” that we often talk about do not actually cause abnormal hormone levels in babies. How to prevent premature puberty in babies? ❶ Eat less high-calorie foods and properly match your baby’s diet. A balanced intake of meat, vegetables, eggs, fruits, and grains can prevent overnutrition; ❷ Do not give your baby supplements, health products, or height-increasing drugs; ❸ Purchase qualified toys and shoes to prevent children from ingesting plasticizers; ❹ Try as much as possible Less exposure to sexually suggestive images; ❺ Drink less drinks and more water. Snack less and eat more. Precocious puberty will cause the child\’s epiphysis to heal prematurely, affecting height growth. Moreover, some characteristics of precocious puberty can cause psychological burden on children, causing them to have low self-esteem, irritability, and sensitive psychology and emotions. What’s even more frightening is that precocious puberty is also a sign of certain diseases! If you, moms and dads, find signs of secondary sexual characteristics in your baby, you must seek medical advice promptly to find out the cause and then treat it accordingly.
