The risks of feeding solids to newborns.

in #steemiteducation6 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone,,,

in this post I would like to discuss some of the mistakes that parents in my area make with their children, mistakes that have quite a negative impact on the development of these fragile little souls.

Babies are born as delicate beings and they are extremely sensitive t the world they are born in to. As adults, we need to protect and guide these them so that they can grow and thrive in their new environment. One of the things we are first and foremost responsible for is to feed and nourish new-borns correctly.

When a child is born, their organs are extremely sensitive and for the first 6 months of their lives they should only be given breast milk, since this is what the digest the best.

Digestion of new born babies is different from adult digestion. New borns still have very small stomachs, and they cannot digest solid food very well at all. Therefore, food for infants should be avoided unless a paediatrician indicates otherwise.[source]

However, many parents where I live feed their newborns a mixture of ground rice and banana. They are ignorant to the fact that this could be fatal for their children. This can also lead to health issues later in life and the effects of the unsuitable diet might take a while to appear. Issues include digestive issues, organ issues, diabetes and so forth.

Provision of breast milk for infants is vital for growth and infant health. Mothers should breast feed for as long as possible and only introduce solids from around 6 months of age, unless otherwise indicated by a health professional.
