 How important is a diet plan for a child?

From the time the baby is born, only mother's milk is fed for 6 months. After the baby reaches the age of 5-6 months, complementary food is started along with milk.

A child's digestive system is weak for 6 months, but after 6 months, the digestive system gradually becomes stronger. Therefore, the complementary food given to children after 6 months should be easily digestible.

A mixture of gram, barley, wheat, corn, cashew nuts, almonds etc. is made and fed to the child. The child is also fed with milk and cow's milk. But the milk or milk prepared in this way may be indigestible or allergic to the child. Because not all children's bodies and digestive systems are the same. Some people eat that litto well and some don't.

The child doesn't know how to tell me if he doesn't like it. Parents also asked why my child didn't eat milk why didn't he eat litto? They have never remembered why they did not eat milk.

There is concern about why the child did not eat. But they don't think about why they didn't eat. If the child does not eat any food, he may have a food allergy or he may have gastritis. Parents have a question that the child also has gastric. Even if adults don't show the same symptoms, children have problems such as flatulence and indigestion. Therefore, it is better to take the advice of a doctor and a nutritionist before starting a supplement. What is the child's blood group to see if your child has a food allergy? It is possible to find out if a food can be a mild poison for a child.

By three years of age, the child should get used to feeding food

It takes about a week for the tongue's 'tastebird' to get used to the taste of a new food. Similarly, if a child tastes a new food, it takes time for him to get used to it. But our habit is that if the child tastes one food and does not like it, we give another food the next day. By doing this, the child will not be able to take the test properly.

It takes a week for us to get used to any food and it takes time for a child too. If a food is given to him seven times in a row, if he does not like it or does not digest it, then it is appropriate not to give him that food. It is necessary for the child to get used to food and only then he understands its taste, likes it and tries to eat it.

By the age of three, the child should taste all the food. And only his eating habits develop. By tasting all the foods at this age, he will know if he is allergic to some food.

In other countries, the child is kept with other family members and allowed to eat alone. He eats the food himself, plays with it and throws away the uneaten. He looks at what his mother has eaten and eats it to see if it is sweeter than mine. If the mother has eaten vegetables, she takes them out and eats them. If the father has eaten meat, he eats it. As a result, he gradually develops the habit of eating all the food. As he grows up, he likes all food and learns that he should not throw away food, he learns 'table manners'.

But what is the custom in our country that the child spills the food and is fed by the parents. The child is force-fed. Now almost all the parents are busy and rush to reach the office in the morning. To reach the office at 10 o'clock, I had to leave at 9 o'clock, so I ate hastily and the baby was also hungry. If he still did not want to eat, he gave him a mobile phone and fed him by tilting it. There is no time to sit comfortably and teach and teach about food. The child does not even remember whether he tasted the food or not.

How to inculcate eating habits in children?

Earlier, it was difficult for parents to deliver food for their children, now they worry about how to feed their children. I hear a lot of complaints that my child does not eat.

Parents complain that my child does not eat. But why didn't the child like it? You don't remember how you like it when you make it. My child complains that he only eats scrambled eggs and not omelette or he only eats omelette and not omelette. There is no need to complain about it, you can make it the way you like it.

If the child does not eat vegetables, it can be given by making paroutha with vegetables or by making a salad like chutpat. It can be given by changing the recipe to make it a habit to eat.

The child should be kept with all the family members and allowed to eat by himself. You should not feed yourself by pouring or throwing. Even doing this, he gets used to eating all the food.

If you give him one food one day because he doesn't like it, the next day he won't give you another food, if you give him that food 7 times in a row, he may like that food. Even if he eats it seven times, he does not like it, but he should not be given this food.

Even if the parents have a fight while eating, the child is afraid to refuse to eat. Parents should also pay attention to this matter. If a small child keeps sucking his finger, he is saying pay attention to me. Parents should pay attention to all this.

While the child is eating, he should sit in front of him and teach him that this is the name of the food that he also eats, and that it has such health benefits.

If the parents pay attention to the child's diet till the age of 7 years, if they work hard to make him eat food, then there is no need to work hard, he will eat all the food.

Parents also complain that their child eats a bowl of rice but my child does not. You should think that your child and his child will have different digestive systems and different tastes. Don't compare your child's food with others. It should be given as much food as it likes.
