Wonderful nutritious value of yoghurt will
lose if mothers feed babies incorrectly.
Yoghurt is good for the digestive system of
little babies, but this wonderful effect can be useless if mothers let children
eat yoghurt too much or with incorrect way.
Many parents catch some conceptions and
mistakes in feeding children with yoghurt.
1. Conception: Yoghurt and yoghurt with liquid form are one
At present, in market, besides finished
produce yoghurt from pure milk through fermentative process, there are many
kinds of yoghurt with liquid form. The main component of yoghurt with liquid
form is cow’s milk or milk powder, sugar, sour acid, lemon acid, apple acid,
flavoring and preservative… Many parents believe that yoghurt and yoghurt with
liquid form are good for children’s health.
In reality, nutritious value of these 2
kinds of yoghurt is completely different. Nutrition in yoghurt with liquid form
is 1/3 pure yoghurt, so they cannot be used to replace each other.
2. Conception: Let children eat yoghurt anytime
Many parents believe that yoghurt is
wonderful remedy for digestive system of babies, so they let babies eat yoghurt
anytime. Actually, this is an incorrect view. If you let babies eat too much,
it will affect excretion of solvents in stomach, it will reduce craving for
food and make belly cold...
Eating
too much yoghurt isn’t good for children.
The amount of yoghurt/day due to children’s
age:
·
Children under 1 year old: 50-100ml
·
Children 2-3 years old: 100-200ml
·
Children over 3 years old: 200-300ml
Note: If children
eat a lot of yoghurt, parents should reduce milk.
3. Conception: It’s better to reheat yoghurt
Some mothers have habit of putting yoghurt
in microwave to reheat or soak in boiling water because they consider that
lactic bacteria operate strongly in warm environment (keeping with yoghurt), so
such temperature of microwave and water is safe.
Actually, waves in microwave will destroy
bacteria that are useful for digestive system and protein in yoghurt. Using too
hot water to soak yoghurt can also affect these bacteria.
The best way is that taking yoghurt out of
fridge about 45 minutes before eating or you can soak yoghurt with formula: 2
boiling 1 cold and turn over to make yoghurt cool all.
4. Conception: Yoghurt has more nutrients than cow’s milk
Many people think that through fermentative
process, cow’s milk will change to yoghurt, so it has high nutritious value. In
reality, nutrition of these 2 kinds is similar and yoghurt is easy to absorb and
digest.
Nutrition
of cow’s milk and yoghurt is similar.
5. Conception: Let children eat yoghurt and combine with foods freely
Yoghurt combines with strawberry or bread,
sweet cake will be a perfect couple and it will bring high nutritious value for
baby’s health. However, processed foods such as sausage, smoked meat, frozen
foods processed from meat shouldn’t be eaten with yoghurt because they can
cause constipation, stomachache, and even death.
6. Conception: Eating yoghurt before meals is the best for children
Some mothers think that eating yoghurt
before meal will help babies eat more and digest better. However, this thing
can make yoghurt lose its effect because lactic bacterium in milk will be
destroyed by gastric juice.
The best time for feeding children with
yoghurt is after main meals, after taking medicine about 2 hours. At this time,
bacterium in yoghurt will have the most suitable environment that can
contribute to digest and absorb foods effectively.
The
best time for feeding children with yoghurt is after main meals, after taking
medicine about 2 hours.
It’s appropriate to eat yoghurt before
going to bed because eating yoghurt at this time will help children ensure
about nutrition, support digestion and make babies have a good sleep.
