Can a ten-month-old baby eat cookies?

For adults, cookies are just a snack to relieve stress or temporarily satisfy hunger. However, for babies, their functions are manifold.

As different food sources, it is beneficial to the intake of various nutrients and supplements some carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins.

The baby's chewing process can promote facial muscle development, exercise chewing ability and swallowing function.

The process of grasping food with your hands and feeding it to your mouth can exercise your coordination ability.

The shape of the biscuit is beneficial to the baby's learning about the environment and knowledge.

As a snack, it also has the function of calming the baby's mood.

For babies with long teeth, it has the effect of relieving eruption and grinding discomfort.

Therefore, baby biscuits has a positive effect on the exercise of vision, touch, taste and the development of nervous system.

A survey report of market consumers buying children's biscuits shows that when mothers buy biscuits for their babies, the first consideration is taste, followed by hygiene, baby's liking, and then price, packaging and other factors.

However, the choice of taste is often considered by the mother at the first purchase, which does not meet the actual needs of the baby.

A baby's taste buds are the most sensitive period in his life. Food that is tasteless in an adult's mouth will have a different taste in a baby's mouth, which is wonderful, so you can't judge the baby's taste by the taste of an adult. When we buy or make baby's food, we should choose foods with light taste to protect the baby's own taste system.

Choose cookies for your baby by age.

1. Eat molar biscuits before 1 year old.

When the baby is five or six months old, the small teeth begin to sprout slowly. In this process, the baby's mouth often has some uncomfortable performances, such as drooling. One of the reasons is that when the teeth just erupt, it stimulates the nerve endings on the gums and increases saliva secretion, but the baby will not swallow too much saliva at once, causing involuntary drooling.

And some babies like to chew. This is because the small teeth are pressed against the gums, so the baby will feel itchy and uncomfortable, and a bite will relieve it.

. Therefore, we need to buy some hard biscuits for the baby. At the same time, considering that the baby's hand movements are not very flexible, cookies are easier to grasp, younger babies can choose finger shapes, and older babies can choose interesting shapes such as animals.

There are two kinds of molar biscuits:

A hard texture, generally finger-shaped, such as the thickness of an adult's index finger, is suitable for babies who have just begun to sprout teeth;

One is crisp texture, various shapes, finger shape, various shapes or small animals, suitable for babies with small teeth.

When the baby is eating, adults are not allowed to play around, so as to avoid suffocation, food choking and other dangers. No matter what kind of cookies the baby eats, parents should keep a close watch to prevent accidents.

Common misunderstandings in buying cookies

1. Whole wheat or cellulose biscuits?

Mom thinks it is good to let the baby eat more coarse grains and dietary fiber, but because the taste of wheat bran or cellulose is very poor, in order to improve the taste, oil is often added to high-fiber biscuits to achieve crisp effect. This kind of biscuit has higher fat content than ordinary children's biscuits, which inadvertently makes the baby consume more oil. It is not recommended to choose it.

Second, soda cookies are healthier?

Many mothers think that soda cookies are salty and contain no sugar, which can prevent the baby from developing the bad habit of loving sugar. In fact, in order to achieve a good taste, soda biscuits will add more oil, and the sodium content is much higher than that of ordinary biscuits. It is also not recommended to give your baby a choice.
