Pig fat is extracted from pork, also known as lard, and is a very traditional animal fat. Long ago, most people used lard in cooking, and the dishes they made were very delicious and could provide a lot of nutrients to the body. But now fewer and fewer people are eating lard, can babies really eat lard?
Whether a baby can eat lard depends on their actual age. If the baby is under 12 months old, they definitely cannot eat lard. Because lard is relatively greasy and has a very strong taste, and at this time, the baby's taste buds have not fully developed, consuming lard too early is not conducive to the baby's taste buds development. Moreover, lard contains a very high amount of fat, and foods with excessive fat can pose a threat to the health of babies.
After the baby is 12 months old, the mother can give him some lard in moderation. But when feeding lard to babies, be sure to add a small amount. Eating a small amount of lard for babies is beneficial for their health. But if a large amount of lard is given to the baby, it will lead to excessive intake of cholesterol in the baby's body, which poses a great threat to their health.
Occasionally giving babies lard is beneficial for their spleen and stomach, as lard has the effect of invigorating the spleen and stimulating appetite, which can enhance their appetite. When the baby's body is relatively weak, they can also eat some lard in moderation, which can supplement the baby's body with many nutrients that are not found in vegetable oils.
