Patient's question:
The child is over a year old. Every morning, as soon as she wakes up from her sleep, she is given milk. I heard that this is not good for the child and that she should have something to eat before drinking milk. Is this true?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best not to drink on an empty stomach! At the same time, actively strengthen nutrition.1. The types of food for children are basically the same as those for adults, including regular food, soft food, semi-liquid food, and liquid food. Children aged 3-7 have slightly weaker digestive and absorption abilities than adults, so easily digestible and easy-to-chew, soft foods should be chosen. Appropriately increase protein intake, with animal protein being the priority.
2. Foods to avoid:
1. All irritating foods, such as chili peppers, mustard, pepper, and coffee.
2. Minimize the intake of fried foods, foods with excessive fat, overly acidic, or overly salty foods.
3. Children under 4 should not eat whole hard nuts, such as peanuts, walnuts, almonds, chestnuts, and sunflower seeds, as these are prone to entering the trachea and causing danger. Children over 4 should also use them sparingly.
4. Fish with thorns and chicken or meat with bones.
