In the process of raising a baby, parents put in a lot of effort. When taking care of the baby, they not only need to ensure that they eat healthily, but also pay attention to their daily inappropriate behavior and stop it in a timely manner. Some babies always put whatever they get into their mouths, so what should they do if they eat dough?
After the baby eats dough, parents should first observe whether the baby has eaten any other foreign objects besides dough. Occasionally eating some dough is not harmful to the baby. Generally speaking, babies eating dough may be due to zinc deficiency, or they may only eat dough out of curiosity because they find it fun. Parents should make it clear to their babies that the food they eat should be cooked, raw food is not easy to digest, and it is also not conducive to their physical health.
If parents are still worried, they can take their baby for trace element testing to see if the baby is zinc deficient. If the baby eats things indiscriminately due to zinc deficiency, parents should promptly supplement him with zinc elements, such as eating deep-sea fish, animal liver, oysters, etc. Of course, oral zinc supplements can also be taken.
In short, if a baby occasionally eats dough, parents don't need to worry too much. To prevent babies from eating things indiscriminately, getting stuck in their throat, or causing other risks, parents should tell their babies what kind of food they can eat and what kind of food they cannot eat.
