How do pregnant women and babies eat fruit? How do pregnant women and babies eat the healthiest?
1, how to eat fruit is better
4 ~ 6 months old, the baby can start eating fruit. First, they should start with fruit juice, which must be diluted and mixed with boiling water 1: 1, starting with a small amount of 10C. C, and then gradually increase, 1 to about 2 tablespoons per day. After 7 ~ 9 months, you can try fruit paste, and it is best to choose fruit between meals.
During pregnancy, pregnant women need to increase the intake of vitamins and folic acid, increase the amount of dietary fiber, and prevent constipation. Therefore, they should eat enough vegetables and fruits, the amount of vegetables is about 3-4 dishes a day, and the amount of fruits is about 2-3 servings a day (one serving is about the size of a fist). Dark green vegetables, oranges, strawberries, cherries, bananas, peaches and other fruits and vegetables rich in folic acid can be added in the first trimester.
However, some pregnant mothers have heard that eating fruit is helpful to the baby's skin and intelligence, and almost all meals are replaced with fruit, which is a retrograde application. Mommy can give the baby the best nutrition, but it still depends on a balanced intake of six foods (including whole grains, fruits and vegetables, milk, beans, eggs, fish, oil and nuts). If you have gestational diabetes, you should pay attention to the intake of fruits and too sweet fruits. It is recommended to serve 1 ~ 2 servings per day, which is enough to avoid hyperglycemia.
Be careful when eating these fruits on an empty stomach.
Be careful when eating fruits such as litchi, citrus, persimmon, tomato, pineapple and banana on an empty stomach. For example, eating litchi on an empty stomach contains hypoglycemic and MCPG components that lower blood sugar. If you don't eat a lot of lychee on an empty stomach, it will lead to hypoglycemia in your child. Eating oranges, persimmons, tomatoes, pineapples, bananas and other fruits that irritate the gastrointestinal tract on an empty stomach can easily lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, or gastrointestinal spasm, which can cause bloating discomfort or gastric acid reflux, especially for people with a history of gastric ulcer or gastroesophageal reflux.
3. Can highly allergic fruits be eaten?
This answer is like answering whether pregnant women and babies can eat highly allergic foods. Previously, it has always been believed that infants should be exposed to highly allergic foods in the later period to avoid allergies. However, more and more studies have found that delaying contact with highly allergic foods can not reduce the allergic probability of children, but may increase the allergic probability. Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics has cancelled the recommendation that "infants under 1 should avoid highly allergic foods", so pregnant women and infants should avoid highly allergic foods unless they are known to be allergic.
However, if the baby starts to eat this highly allergic fruit, such as strawberries, mangoes, citrus fruits, kiwis and so on. Parents can observe whether the baby has any body rash, eczema, or symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort (such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and crying for no reason), so it is necessary to record this fruit. If the baby still has the same symptoms next time, it is necessary to avoid letting the baby ingest it again.
4. Eat fruit according to the solar terms.
Different fruits have different properties according to the production season and taste, which can be simply divided into warm, flat and cold. See table 1 for the characteristics of common fruits. Pregnant women and babies are more sensitive, so they can choose the right fruit to eat according to the attributes of different constitutions, which will not cause physical discomfort. Generally speaking, people with hot constitution are prone to dry mouth, fear of heat, acne or rash on the body and face, and constipation. Many women are prone to dryness and heat after pregnancy, so eating too many hot fruits is easy to add fuel to the fire, and they can eat more fruits with flat or cold nature. People with cold constitution are prone to catch cold, cold limbs and loose stools (it will be more obvious if they eat cold food), so they should avoid cold fruits and eat more flat or warm fruits. If you catch a cold, your constitution may change. At this time, you can consult Chinese medicine and recommend appropriate fruit and dietary suggestions.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to a healthy diet that conforms to the season. In fact, many people eat fruits and vegetables which are abundant in this season. The creation of nature is amazing. For example, summer is very hot, how to relieve the heat? In fact, watermelon rich in summer can achieve the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, so the baby's diet can also be adjusted according to the season.
5. What fruit do pregnant women eat?
Apple: Apple contains phosphorus, iron and other elements, which are easily absorbed by the intestinal wall and have the function of nourishing the brain and blood. This is a mild fruit, which is very suitable for pregnant women. Apples are also rich in lipids, vitamins and other nutrients, especially high content of fine fiber, which is beneficial to the development of hippocampus on the edge of fetal cerebral cortex and to the memory of fetus. Moreover, pregnant women who eat more apples during pregnancy are less likely to develop asthma. Pregnant women can meet the zinc requirement by eating 1-2 apples a day.
Kiwifruit: Kiwifruit is a special kind of fruit and a good nutritious food for women of childbearing age. Before or during pregnancy, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, qualified women can often eat kiwifruit. But not for everyone. Because kiwifruit is cold, people with spleen and stomach deficiency should be careful to eat it, people with frequent diarrhea and frequent urination should not eat it, and people with threatened abortion should also avoid eating it.
Cherry: Among all fruits, cherry is particularly rich in iron, which is almost 20 times that of apples, oranges and pears. It also contains nutrients such as carotene (4-5 times more than grapes, apples and oranges), vitamin B 1, B2, C, citric acid, calcium and phosphorus. Eating more can enrich blood and help gastrointestinal function. If pregnant women have a bad appetite, they should actively eat cherries, which is very helpful to the fetus. Many pregnant women often eat cherries, and the babies born have a red and healthy face.
Autumn pear: Pear is also called Kuaiguo, Jade Milk and so on. The ancients called pears "the Sect of Fruits", that is, "the Sect of Hundred Fruits". Because it is fresh and juicy, sweet and sour, it is also known as natural mineral water. China is one of the cradles of Pyrus. Most Asian pears originated in East Asia, and Japanese and Korean are also the cradles of Asian pears. Pears cultivated in China, sand pears and pears are all native to China. Pear occupies an important position in fruits, and its application scope is wider than that of apples. Few people don't like pears. Pears are cool and can clear away heat and soothe the nerves. Regular consumption can make blood pressure return to normal and improve symptoms such as dizziness, dry throat and excessive internal heat. It is a good choice for pregnant women and babies to eat pears after getting angry. Pears contain more carbohydrates and vitamins, which are easily absorbed by the human body, stimulate appetite and protect the liver. Eating pears can prevent atherosclerosis and inhibit the formation of nitrosamines, thus preventing cancer.
Strawberry: Strawberry is rich in amino acids, carotene, vitamin B 1, B2, calcium, magnesium and other substances, which can prevent colds. Pectin and organic acid contained in it can decompose fat in food, promote appetite, strengthen gastrointestinal peristalsis, and promote the growth and development of babies; There are also research reports abroad that strawberries can remove heavy metals from the body. What is more problematic is that strawberry cleaning is more troublesome, and it is afraid of pesticide residues.
Grape: Grape is rich in iron, phosphorus, calcium, organic acids, lecithin, carotene and vitamins B 1, C, etc. Pregnant women have insufficient blood color, low blood pressure, poor circulation and cold hands and feet in winter. Eating more grapes helps to improve. More specifically, if pregnant women bleed, grapes can also protect the fetus and help the fetus develop.
Grapefruit: contains natural folic acid. Folic acid is not only very important in early pregnancy, but also essential throughout pregnancy. With the rapid growth of fetal body tissue during pregnancy, pregnant women need a lot of folic acid to meet the needs of the fetus. Folic acid deficiency will not only increase the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension and placental abruption, but also lead to megaloblastic anemia in pregnant women, intrauterine growth retardation, premature delivery and low birth weight of newborns. Therefore, grapefruit is also the first choice for pregnant women.
