In autumn, the air is dry and infants have low resistance, making them susceptible to invasion and lung injury caused by dry pathogens. Therefore, it is advisable to eat fruits that nourish yin, moisten the lungs, and produce fluids in autumn. So what fruits are good for a one year old baby to eat in autumn?
The child is now one year old and the body needs a lot of vitamins, so giving them some fruits in autumn can help them supplement some vitamins. Such as pears, apples, grapes, bananas, water chestnuts, etc. However, when giving children fruits, it is important to note that the fruits should not be too cold or too much, as this may lead to diarrhea and gastrointestinal disorders.
Precautions for one year old infants to consume fruits in autumn:
1. The time to eat fruits should be between two meals. Babies should not eat fruits after meals because the monosaccharides in fruits are easily absorbed by the small intestine. If the stomach is blocked, it is easy to form bloating in the intestines and stomach. Babies should not eat fruits before meals, as they can occupy a certain amount of space in the stomach and affect the intake of nutrients during dinner. The best time for babies to eat fruits should be between meals or after waking up from a nap, allowing them to eat fruits as snacks.
2. The way of eating fruits depends on age. Generally speaking, babies who have just added complementary foods can eat fruits in two ways: one is to drink fresh fruit juice and directly use a juicer to extract the juice, or use a grinding tool to extract the juice; Secondly, use a spoon to scrape it into mud. It is best to scrape and eat as much as possible to avoid oxidation, discoloration, and contamination.
3. The intake of fruits should be reasonable. Parents must control the amount of fruit their children eat, as too much fruit can also cause trouble. For example, if they eat too much watermelon and bananas, they may experience diarrhea, and if they eat too many cherries, mangoes, and lychees, they may become overheated. Parents should pay attention to controlling the diet of their babies. It is recommended that the appropriate amount of fruit for babies to consume each time is 50-100g, which can be adjusted according to their age.
