From many parents we often hear that young creatures do not understand how harmful sweets are for the teeth and stomach. True, adults themselves from time to time go to the pastry shop in order to buy themselves a bag of lollipops or a chocolate bar.
You need to know which products can be beneficial and which are harmful. If your child suffers from allergies, then you should not offer him foods that provoke it.
Gluten and sugar. In most cases, allergic reactions occur in those children who, when consuming treats, forget about the sense of proportion. As we know, sugar contains only “empty” calories. If a young creature eats too much sweets, then his metabolism will be disturbed.
Some crumbs have an intolerance to gluten, which is found in many cereals. It is a gluten protein. This substance is found in many sweets. Recall that if a young creature is not yet 6 months old, then his enzyme system does not work well. This is the reason why gluten is not absorbed.
In such cases, pediatricians recommend a special diet. Barley and wheat are being replaced by rice and buckwheat, which have no gluten protein. As a rule, as the child ages, the gluten intolerance disappears.
What sweets can babies eat? If your child is one and a half years old, then he, most likely, can already feast on marshmallows and marshmallows. These sweets contain pectin, which normalizes the functioning of the intestines and stomach. Choose for the little one only those products that are white. After all, they do not have all kinds of "chemistry".
Fruit jelly is also saturated with pectin. But you shouldn't lose sight of the fact that it contains gelatin. In this regard, you can give this product to a young creature only if he is already 3 years old.
If the baby asks for a cookie, then it is best for you to choose a low-fat product for him. It is not desirable for him to consume muffins yet. After all, margarine is used in their manufacture.
We recommend that you give your child pressed muesli instead of candies. Then the baby will receive fruits and nuts at the same time.
"Chupa Chups". This delicacy is often the cause of the development of caries. Instead of "Chupa-Chups", it is best for you to buy chad lollipops made from natural ingredients.
