Many people around it consider it important to give advice to a young mother how to care for her child: relatives, friends, neighbors and even strangers. In this article we will tell you what not very useful, and sometimes harmful advice can give outsiders. Remember that if you doubt the correctness of this or that advice, it is better to consult a specialist.
Probably no one gets as many tips as young mothers. Everyone around us considers it their duty to tell how to care for the child: relatives, friends, neighbors and even strangers. But, you need to be prepared for the fact that not all of these recommendations are useful for you and the baby. Now I relate to this with humor, and even made a rating of the most harmful advice that I received.
Bad advice 1: from three months the baby can be drank fruit juices
When Varia was 3 months old, I bought fruits in a street stall. The saleswoman immediately gave me lectures on the need to milk a child with diluted fruit juices, even before the introduction of complementary foods, because the baby needs vitamins. Actually usually lure begin to enter when the baby is five to six months old. Until this age, the child receives all the necessary vitamins and nutrients from the mother’s milk or from the mixture, so that the mother does not need the juices.
Bad advice 2: you can choose any mixture, because they are all the same
Why not read on mom forums. For example, it is often said that all mixtures are the same in composition, only manufacturers and price differ. In fact, this is not so at all, the mixtures are dry or liquid, and they also differ in composition. For example, can be made on the basis of cow or goat milk. My daughter often spewed and I decided to try to give her a mixture of goat milk, I read that it is closer in composition to the mother and easier to digest. Each mixture is designed for a different age of the child and takes into account possible manifestations of an allergy in him. A pediatrician will help you find the right mix for your baby.

Bad advice 3: cereals for the introduction of complementary foods need to be prepared in cow's milk
Recently we were with Varey in the village visiting my grandmother. Well, I decided to help and prepared buckwheat porridge in cow's milk, added butter, all mine, natural to it. Keep in mind that cow's milk is a heavy product, even for an adult. Baby, especially during the introduction of complementary foods, it will not benefit. But almost certainly it will cause indigestion and possibly allergic reactions.It is better to use either ready-made cereals for feeding from verified manufacturers, or add the milk mixture in which you feed the baby.
Bad advice 4: instead of a mixture, it is better to give the baby divorced cow milk
And the neighbor said that it is better to give the baby divorced cow milk, this is a natural product. She even brought me one and a half liters of fresh cow's milk from the village. In fact, whole cow's milk is a very fatty and heavy product for the baby. It can provoke a violation of metabolism and assimilation in the child's body of the calcium and vitamin D.

Bad advice 5: the child should eat everything that he is given
Moms certainly worry when their babies eat poorly, but grandmothers who think that their beloved grandchildren are starving are even more worried. Do not be discouraged if sometimes the baby refuses to eat mashed broccoli or zucchini. Firstly, try to give complementary foods when the child is hungry, in this version he is unlikely to refuse food. Secondly, do not force to eat the whole portion, the baby will show you how much he needs.
And what bad advice did they give you? Let's talk about this in the comments.

Video: Bad advice to mothers of babies
I intuitively, as well as listening to the advice of pediatricians and Internet resources, tried to feed correctly. And the mother-in-law, who raised three sons, just the same advised to feed the kids cow milk, and not these powders from the boxes. I did not argue with her, but I held my opinion.
Juices have a high concentration of fructose and glucose - I can’t imagine how they can be given to babies at all. It is very important to learn the basics of proper nutrition and food compatibility, especially if you have a small child.
I have never used any verbal advice from people. Trusted only in medical literature and the advice of pediatricians in the clinic. And, of course, she listened and looked closely at her child. The main thing that I understood is that you cannot force a child to eat.
What nonsense? Wow harmful, especially about cow's milk! The author herself does not know what she is writing. My baby has been drinking whole cow's milk since she was 7 months old and eating cereals in whole cow's milk. A healthy child and development parameters are all right, even growth is slightly above normal.
You can give your child all the products from the store labeled FOR CHILDREN! I am especially surprised by the white fruit curds. Question: Did the color from the fruit melt? I think not, just curds with flavors and fruits were never there. Buying from a store is very simple, no need to think, but buying rural products is much more resource-intensive and it's easier to say that they are all harmful and allergenic! And breast milk is also very harmful, so you must definitely poison the baby with a mixture from the store. I don’t understand. Do you love your child at all and wish him good health? Or do you want to make your life easier by shoving the purchased baby?
I completely agree with the author! Those who want to give children cow's milk, vegetable and fruit juices from a very young age, please, but do not provoke others to such actions.
They are trying to advise us to feed the baby every time he is capricious. And it doesn’t matter that he just got bored or what other reason: “he is hungry at you !!!! Feed soon !! ” There are such lovers of “cuddle” kids with a tit.
