For the vast majority of babies under the age of one, their primary source of daily diet is breast milk. Of course, for some mothers who do not have enough milk, they can only choose formula milk powder to feed their babies. Some mothers are willing to add some white sugar when brewing milk powder for their babies. So, can babies under 1 year old eat white sugar?
White sugar is not only a common seasoning in daily life, but also used to assist in the treatment of hypoglycemia due to its high sugar content. For babies under 1 year old, eating a moderate amount of white sugar is very beneficial for their physical development. This not only increases their appetite, but also enhances their immune system, making their bodies healthier.
However, it is important to note that it is best not to let babies eat white sugar every day, especially when brewing milk powder. Do not add a large amount of white sugar, otherwise babies will easily develop a sense of dependence after receiving a certain concentration of sweetness, leading to a picky eating habit. Suggest feeding your baby white sugar every other day.
In addition, excessive feeding of sugar to babies not only does not have a beneficial effect on their body, but also gradually weakens their metabolic ability, thereby affecting their physical development and causing them to gradually become obese, which poses a burden on their health.
