Usually, after the age of one, babies have already grown most of their teeth and can naturally accept a lot of food. At this stage, mothers not only provide their babies with normal food intake to maintain sufficient nutrition, but also prepare some small snacks for them to eat during their leisure time. So, what snacks do babies over 1 year old eat?
Parents of 1-year-old babies can give their babies some fruit snacks, such as apples, cantaloupes, bananas, strawberries, and other foods with sufficient vitamin C content, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the baby's body. Nut snacks such as pistachios and walnuts can also be given to babies in moderation, as well as teething sticks, cookies, and other snacks that can help babies practice chewing and promote the eruption of teeth, reducing the chance of drooling.
Although one year old babies can eat snacks, parents should not give their babies too many snacks every day. Otherwise, after the baby eats snacks and is full, they may not be able to eat staple foods such as milk powder and rice paste. You can also give your baby some hawthorn strips to help them digest food. You can also cut some fruits into strips for babies to chew on, which can also have the effect of grinding teeth.
When parents give their babies snacks, it is best to watch them eat from the side to prevent them from accidentally getting stuck in the throat by the food. In addition, foods with high sugar content such as chocolate and candy should not be given to babies too much. This is not only harmful to their health, but also to their dental health.
