In traditional parenting concepts, the more a baby eats, the healthier he is. In fact, if we want to ensure babies’ safety and health, we can’t let them eat too much or wear too warm.
Diarrhea
Babies who eat too much are prone to diarrhea, which is due to indigestion caused by overeating. Did you make such a mistake? Some mothers feed babies as soon as they cry, but sometimes babies are not hungry when they cry. This kind of practice may let the baby eat too much and lead to diarrhea.
Constipation
If the baby eats a lot of miscellaneous things, the next few days he will have a bad appetite and constipate.
Babies’ digestive system is gradually improving with age, and their digestive ability is still relatively weak. When the baby sees the things he likes, he will continue to eat even he is already full. So mothers must pay attention to limiting the amount of food their babies eat. If they are full, don’t let them eat any more.
Impair intelligence
Studies have shown that long-term overeating can affect infant brain development. The whole body organs of infants are in an infantile and delicate stage, and their ability to move is very limited.
If babies eat too much, it will increase the workload of digestive organs. Over-excitation time in the brain area in charge of gastrointestinal digestion will inevitably lead to the suppression of language, thinking, memory, imagination and other brain intelligence areas, and the brain’s intellectual development will be affected.
Affect height
Eating too much food will affect the baby’s height. Medical studies have shown that when blood sugar is low, that is, in the state of hunger, the pituitary will secrete more growth hormone to stimulate the growth of the baby’s skeleton.
If a baby eats too much for a long time, it will prevent the secretion of growth hormone in the state of hunger, which will affect his later height.
