Since my sister just had a baby two years ago, and is having another one soon she's been reading many books so I've learned some things I thought I would just pass along for discussion things you shouldn't feed infants Raw/rare meats/sushi (because their imunue system hasn't been built up yet this couldn't be deadly) some meats, something about how their stomachs can't digest certain proteins yet peanuts often babies that eat peanuts can DEVELOP an allergy towards it congee/rice apparently too much starch as an infant can cause the child to DEVELOP diabetes
I think that ones obvious. The baby will just choke on that as they don't know how to chew yet with no teeth
For obvious reasons, of course. Not that sure about this one, however, it sounds kind of iffy as a general advice. At which "age" should an infant/child expose to peanuts then??? Because obviously cannot be too late, once its (I still call an infant by "it") immune system is stablized, it will start going allergic to whatever it hasn't been exposed to before... Though the choking is a found concern... Will it? I don't see Chinese, or Asians in general, display a higher rate of diabetes (or I am ignorant of it)...
good to know but if babies can develop allergies towards peanut if they eat them early; won't they have allergies to all kinds of food given to them when they are young? as for the choking, i dont' think you would give a whole peanut to the baby. that's just common sense. you give her peanut butter or make really crunch peanuts? i don't know ... don't have a kid.
well not saying peanuts cause of just choking but my sister wouldn't let me give her daughter peanut butter
actually i've heard another report that even pregnet women shouldn't eat peanuts too often either because it could help develop a peanut allergy within their baby
usually u will develop peanut allergies only if someone in ur family already have it and then i heard from my elders that a pregnant woman should eat a lot of watermelon because it give u a beautiful skin and help the baby skin too, true or not...only ppl who try it can say.... but well the most important food for a newborn baby is his mother'milk and that 'til 2 to 3 month..because it will help his health system.... after that, u have to wait 'til ur baby get tooth before giving him something else ( around 6 month)..and u will see that most of the child get a vegies allergies and develop eczéma ....
wait can you explain the eczema part a little more clearly? i know i have it, and i know alot of other people (mostly asians) who have it
When u are an adult and still have eczéma, it can be from a big stress or an answer of ur body against the environnement around u.... Generally, eczéma is a auto-immune answer of ur body , especially against some food that u can eat ....when u are a baby, ur health system is not strong 'til ur first birthday ( or more)...but well, some parents who are lazy to give only the milk to their babies always try to feed faster their child with some other food and most of the time u will see the baby develop some skin problem: buttons and eczéma (which are not esthetics) ..this problem can be from some vitamins (A,B,C,E,..) or from some proteins that contains some aliments..and most of the time u can see it after a child who eat carrot ( the carotene is really not recommended) ..but well, some parents don't want to believe that this is the food who make babies have eczema and when their child have it , they say:"oh this is because ppl kiss him too much"..like we know , parents always think that they know more than other what is good for their babies...but well, if u really want to see if it's true or not, just try it on a child who have this skin problem, change his food and u will see that the eczema will dissappear day after day.... i forgot to say that if u really want to get rid of the eczéma , just use a treatment which contains corticoïde.
i remember getting special prescription cream i didn't think it helped me much the best thing for me to do, (yet also most hard to endure) was just not to scratch I would always have a mild case of eczema, but i would ~scratch scratch scratch~ and make it horribly worse so once day i decided, no matter how much it feels alls crawly inside, I WILL NOT SCRATCH and within half a year, everything cleared up after that i had very few cases of it it does develop occasionally when there is a combination of dryness in the air and me being stressed but i dont have it 365 days like i use to
if after all these year you still have eczéma and want to scratch then it mean that the cream u use is really not the right one..i don't know in which country u live, but i can say that right here(France) ppl who have eczema, see it disappear after a treatment , especially when they get it young ( because most of the baby here get eczema after developing a allergic reaction to their mum's milk)..but well, we have a cream which is really good and effective against that: Dexeryl cream is i can say one of the best cream which help prevent against dry skin and eczéma...
Is doesn't matter what you eat or not eat during pregnancy. My baby is allergic to peanut and she is not exposed to it when she was an infant. And eggs too. She is probably allergic to mommy too. Ha ha... And as for eczema, it could be hereditary, if someone in the family has asmatha and you do not get it, you will most likely have eczema. Irregardless, stress is the no. 1 factor that will triger eczema. I have that too, and it is annoying. Got it in my mid 20's, and throw in the pollen too. Must be the air in this country. Ha ha
