Be extremely cautious when giving baby complementary foods, as even a slight mistake can lead to physical problems in the baby. But many young mothers do not have cooking experience, and they don't know how to start cooking for their babies. They are also unclear about what their babies cannot eat. Can babies drink apple, hawthorn, red date water?
Apple hawthorn and red date water can be consumed by babies. Both apples and hawthorn are digestive aid ingredients, and the nutrients in apples are also very suitable for babies. The vitamins and pectin inside are good for babies' health. Hawthorn is a good ingredient for strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion, which can help babies strengthen their spleen and stomach. Jujube is also very suitable for babies to eat, as it contains abundant iron that can prevent anemia in babies. Boiling water with three ingredients together for babies to drink is very good for their health.
Although apple hawthorn and red date water is good, it is not suitable for babies under eight months old to drink. Because babies under eight months old have just started eating complementary foods and their digestive system is still in the adaptation stage, consuming foods with complex ingredients can lead to diarrhea. Moreover, babies under eight months old have weaker digestive systems, and excessive consumption of digestive promoting foods can accelerate intestinal peristalsis and lead to diarrhea.
When adding fresh complementary foods to babies, mothers must first feed them in small amounts. If there are no abnormal reactions in the baby's digestive system, gradually increase the amount. If the baby's digestive system experiences abnormal reactions, mothers should stop feeding the baby in a timely manner.
