Most children like to eat candy because it tastes sweet. Some parents spoil their babies and want to give them candy when they are only one year old. But is it suitable for a one year old baby to eat candy?
Generally speaking, it is not recommended for parents to give candy to one year old babies. On the one hand, babies in this age group are still developing teeth, and eating sugar can make their teeth unhealthy and cause cavities, which is naturally not good for them. On the other hand, a one year old baby's whole body is still developing, and giving them candy, especially candies like lollipops, is not conducive to the development of their lower jaw.
Secondly, parents giving candy to one year old babies is not conducive to developing good eating habits. If a baby prefers sweetness, it may cause them to clamor for sugar during non meal times, but they may not want to eat less sweet food during mealtime. Additionally, candy is high in sugar, which accelerates the baby's metabolic efficiency and disrupts their normal and healthy eating habits.
In addition, parents giving their babies candy may also affect their normal development progress. Nowadays, many unscrupulous merchants add some pigments and other additives to candy in order to make it look better and taste better, which may cause premature puberty and obesity in babies. Therefore, for the health of the baby, it is recommended that parents do not give the baby candy.
