18-month-old baby's intellectual development

During the baby's growth and development process, different babies develop to different degrees. Some develop slowly, some develop quickly. Parents should pay special attention to intelligence, as intellectual and physical development are closely related to living environment and absorbed nutrition. When we raise our children, we should observe more, give encouragement and support, and guide the baby's healthy growth.

Nutritional advice for 18-month-old baby development

1. Food should be nutritious and easy to digest. Do not let children eat overly sweet, sour or spicy food, as it can easily cause loss of appetite and indigestion. Food should be cooked softer, and the original "minced, souped, pureed" can be changed to "diced, chunked, shredded". Do not eat foods that you should not eat, such as irritating foods and whole dried fruits (such as peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, dried beans, etc.).

2. Babies between 1 and 1.5 years old are in the period of intellectual development. If you let your baby eat deep-sea fish (such as mackerel, salmon, and trout, etc.) regularly, they will naturally not lack intellectual factors.

3. Eggs cannot replace staple food after one year old. Some parents feed their babies eggs at almost every meal in order to make their babies grow stronger. This is very unscientific. Excessive intake of eggs will increase the burden on the baby's gastrointestinal tract, and in severe cases it will cause indigestion diarrhea in the baby.
