What are the benefits of baby spinach puree?

The baby's body is fragile, so we need to pay attention to taking some corresponding auxiliary dishes to ensure the baby's nutrients and avoid situations that affect the baby's health. In particular, we must pay attention to avoid malnutrition. Babies can eat spinach puree, so what are the benefits of baby spinach puree? Well, let me introduce this issue to you below.

1. Add order

Complementary foods should generally be added in the order of "starch (grains) - vegetables - fruits - animals". The first thing to eat should be cereals (rice flour paste, noodle paste, rice soup and other paste-like cereals), followed by vegetable juice and fruit juice, and finally egg custard, fish, chicken, pork and other animal foods (around 6 months). First it starts with liquid, then paste, then semi-solid, and finally small chunks.

2. Adding dosage from small to large

When you first start adding complementary foods, you can feed one type of food once a day and only eat the same type for a week. Try 1 or 2 bites on the first day. If there are no adverse reactions, then gradually increase the amount and type of complementary foods.

3. Observe the reaction after adding complementary food

After adding complementary foods, parents should pay attention to whether the baby has any food allergic reactions. Allergic symptoms may include skin rashes, diarrhea, abdominal distension, increased gas (burping or farting), or rash. If any adverse reactions occur, stop adding this food immediately.

4. Pay attention to food hygiene

Pay attention to the hygiene of your baby's complementary food. Tableware must be sterilized before use. Food must be cooked and eaten immediately. Fruit juice must not contain raw water. After eating solid complementary food, the food must be cooked as much as possible and cut into small pieces to make it easier for the baby to digest.

Babies can eat spinach when they are 6 months old. Spinach promotes growth and development and enhances disease resistance. The carotene contained in spinach is converted into vitamin A in the human body, which can maintain normal vision and the health of epithelial cells, increase the ability to prevent infectious diseases, and promote children's growth and development. The iron it contains has a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on iron deficiency anemia. But when cooking spinach, blanch the spinach in boiling water first to remove 80% of the oxalic acid before processing.

Most cases of anemia in babies are iron deficiency anemia, which is caused by nutritional imbalance, gastrointestinal dysfunction or relative lack of hematopoietic substances. Some parents know that spinach is high in iron, so they boil spinach in water for their babies to drink. In fact, it is unscientific to do so. Because, although spinach contains a high amount of iron, the iron it contains is difficult to be absorbed by the small intestine. Spinach also contains a substance called oxalic acid, which easily reacts with iron to form a precipitate, making the iron unusable by the human body, thus losing its effect in treating anemia.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I would like to introduce to you. When it is effective, you can prepare some food for the baby to ensure the baby's health and avoid dangerous situations caused by the above-mentioned problems. In particular, you should pay attention to the nutritional needs of young children. Finally, I wish the patients can grow up healthy and happy.
