Rice paste as a complementary food is the first choice for many families because it is nutritious and easy for babies to swallow, which is very suitable for the needs of babies after adding complementary foods. However, for newborn babies, rice paste is not a good choice. Today, let me talk about the effects of eating rice paste on newborn babies?
Newborn babies are collectively referred to as newborns. At this time, babies need to adapt to the external environment in all aspects of their bodies, and their various functions have not yet fully developed. Especially, the digestive system of newborns is also very unhealthy, and the number of various enzymes is relatively small.
As we all know, starch is the main component of rice paste, and amylase is needed to break down starch. However, the amylase contained in newborn babies' bodies is extremely small, so they have no ability to break down and digest the starch in rice paste. Therefore, newborns have no way to digest and absorb rice paste.
If rice paste is fed to newborns, it will directly cause digestive disorders, and neonatal diarrhea is the most direct manifestation. Moreover, when a newborn baby experiences symptoms of indigestion, it directly affects their appetite, leading to a lack of love for breast milk and gradually causing malnutrition, ultimately affecting their healthy development.
