Patient's question:
I saw in a health magazine that using: lily bulb, goji berries, longan, lotus seeds, red dates, pear + rock sugar to make and drink a sweet soup can help with beauty. My 14-month-old son also likes to drink it. I would like to ask if it's good for children to drink this sweet soup?Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old baby can drink some brown sugar water in moderation. Brown sugar is rich in iron, and drinking brown sugar water can help dispel cold and warm the stomach. However, it’s important not to drink too much, as it can cause overheating. Long-term consumption may also lead to tooth decay. It’s best not to make it too concentrated. It’s recommended that the baby’s diet be varied and balanced in nutrition. It’s a good idea to introduce different types of foods for the baby, such as vegetable puree, fruit puree, millet porridge, soft noodles, and fish. These should be prepared to be soft and easy for the baby to digest. Snacks should be avoided as much as possible, and sugary and fried, greasy foods should also be eaten in moderation.
