By around the age of three, the main source of nutrition for babies is food. Milk only provides a small portion of the nutrition for babies, so at this time, the baby's diet must be comprehensive. However, not all kinds of food can be given to the baby. So what should the baby not eat before the age of three?
1. Cannot give babies spicy food
Babies are often interested in things with strong flavors. In order to cater to the baby's preferences, many children's snacks are also spicy in taste. However, the baby's gastrointestinal mucosa is very fragile, and giving them spicy food can easily cause diarrhea, so parents should try not to give their baby spicy flavors.
2. Honey
People used to think that giving honey was more nutritious, so they often gave their babies honey water to drink. Actually, honey is not suitable for babies to drink because honey is not sterile and contains many bacterial communities. If a baby frequently drinks honey water, it may cause a disturbance in the gut microbiota due to the bacteria in honey.
3. Puffed food
There are quite a few puffed foods in children's snacks. Although babies like to eat puffed foods, it is recommended that parents do not give their babies too much puffed food. Puffed foods have low nutritional value and can easily make children feel full, thereby affecting their appetite. In addition, puffed foods can also easily lead to obesity in babies, so parents should try to eat less puffed foods for their babies.
