Baby diarrhea is a common phenomenon in babies when they are relatively young. When a baby has diarrhea, the first thing parents need to do is to understand the cause of the baby's diarrhea. Some parents have heard from the elderly that their baby can eat white sugar to stop diarrhea. Is this statement really true? Can babies with diarrhea eat white sugar?
Can babies with diarrhea eat white sugar
1. Firstly, we need to understand the cause of the baby's diarrhea. Is it due to poor digestive system or cold.
2. White sugar is refined sugar made from molasses extracted from sugarcane and sugar beets. White sugar color, clean, high sweetness. Sugar is prone to contamination by pathogenic microorganisms during production, packaging, transportation, and storage. Especially for white sugar that has been stored for more than a year and has turned yellow in color, it is often contaminated by mites. So it is not recommended to give it to children for consumption.
Methods for dealing with diarrhea in babies of different ages
1. If your baby has diarrhea for more than 6 months, continue to arrange complementary food according to the usual recipe, such as Congee, noodles, rotten rice and some vegetables. The diet should be light, and raw, cold and hard food should be avoided.
2. If a baby with diarrhea under 6 months old is breastfed, they can continue to use breast milk; If there is temporary sugar induced diarrhea, soy milk feeding can be switched, but breast milk should be restored after the diarrhea stops or improves.
Regardless of whether the child has diarrhea or not, it is actually not suitable for babies to eat white sugar when they are relatively young, because the intake of white sugar is not conducive to the healthy growth of babies. Some people say that sugar is not something that everyone needs to consume? That's right, but we already consume natural sugars in our daily lives, so babies should consume less of this chemically processed sugar.
