Your baby can eat more and more from the first fruit and vegetable snacks. But some seemingly innocent things are better not given to your baby in the first year.
From 0 to 1 year, you absolutely should not give this.
Thee
It seems so normal, but tea is not good for a baby. Tea often contains caffeine. Babies have a lower weight and may be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine. Excessive caffeine intake can lead to sleep problems, irritability and increased heart rate in babies. Tea contains theine, which is similar to caffeine. Theine can also have stimulant effects and may cause adverse reactions in babies, especially if consumed in large quantities.
Honing
Honey can also be dangerous for a baby, up to its first birthday. It is not recommended to give honey to babies under 1 year old due to the risk of botulism. Botulism is a rare but serious form of food poisoning caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Babies are particularly susceptible to the spores of this bacteria, which can be found in honey. The digestive systems of babies under 1 year old are not fully developed, and they cannot effectively kill the bacterial spores in honey.
Pate (sausage spread)
Pate can have a high fat content, and babies’ digestive systems are not fully developed to process large amounts of fats efficiently. Too much fat can cause digestive problems in babies. The same applies to spreadable sausage. Some types of pâté and sausage spreads can have a high salt content, which can be unfavorable for the kidneys of babies, which are still developing.
Regular milk
It is generally not recommended to give a baby regular cow’s milk as a staple of their diet before the age of 1 year. Why? Regular cow’s milk is not adapted to the nutritional needs of infants. It contains too much protein, sodium and potassium and too little iron, folic acid and vitamin C, which can lead to nutritional imbalances and problems with kidney function in infants. Only after 1 year can you switch to ‘normal’ cow’s milk.
