To help children develop completely and
healthily, capable mothers cannot ignore 8 following precious advices about
nutrition.
1. Mother’s milk
The first delicious advice about nutrition
that we want to send mothers is giving babies the breast because mother’s milk
is the best food, it has enough nutrients and it is easiest to absorb. Those
are the reasons why WHO advise mothers to give babies the breast immediately
after giving birth and give babies the breast completely in the first 6 months.
Nutritious
doctors also advise mothers not wean before babies are 12 month old.

babies the breast to 18-24 months.
2. Diversify menu
All scholarly mothers know that each food
has one function and it will provide some certain vitamins. However, to satisfy
the developing demand of brain, babies need a lot of different nutrients.
Therefore, mothers need to combine many kinds of food and change dishes
regularly to help babies feel delicious.

eat some foods, it will lead to the state that is spare of these substances and
lacking other substances. As a result, it will cause bad effects to baby’s
development.

3. Milk and products from milk
Most mothers understand the importance of
milk and products from milk to baby’s development. However, drinking milk
incorrectly and unregularly will cause harmful effects to baby’s development
that mothers cannot know before.
Nutritious doctors showed that children
that from 1 to 3 years old should drink about 500ml of cow’s milk and (mixed
with formula); children that are over 3 years old should drink about 300-400ml.
Although milk is the food that is good for children, it isn’t sufficient when
you only let children drink milk. You need to let babies diversify natural
foods through processing powder, soup and rice of children. As a result, it can
provide enough nutritious component and demand developing demand of children.

salt) that are added in milk only satisfy one part for daily demand of
children. Milk contains less fiber, so they will have constipation if they only
drink milk.

4. Protein and fat
Scholarly mothers should know that protein
is the source that provides amine acid neurotransmitters. Therefore, if mothers
want their children to become intelligent, they shouldn’t ignore adding these
substances to children’s menu. Meat, fish, egg, milk, soya bean and other kinds
of bean contain a lot of protein.
About 60% baby’s brain is formed from fat.
Fat helps separate nerves, improves studying ability as well as developing the
function of eyes. Moreover, fat also provides energy and helps body absorb
vitamins. In day, mothers should use with the combination of animal (fat,
butter) and vegetable fat (vegetable oil) for babies.
Moreover, mothers should also balance add
for babies the different substances such as zinc, iodine, Fe… that are in many
kinds of food.

babies that are from 1 to 6 years old only need the amount of salt that isn’t
over 2 grams. If mothers let babies eat salty foods in a long time, this thing
will affect baby’s appetite in the future and lead to many other problems about
disease such as high blood pressure, kidney, heart, and affect the development
of bone.

mothers is limiting babies to use carbonated drinks. Misusing carbonated drinks
can be implicit about the risk to children’s health. The most dangerous thing
when you let children drink too much carbonated drinks is increasing the
elimination of calcium through urine. Therefore, these children easily lack
calcium and their height doesn’t develop a lot while their breadth grows
because these drinks contain the high content of sugar that easily causes
obesity.

green leaves, kinds of grain, cauliflower, citrus, egg yolk... contain a lot of
vitamin B9 (folic acid). All of them are necessary for activities of the body,
especially baby’s brain.

and ignore the safeness in choosing and processing food, all attempt will be
meaningless.
