In the pursuit of modern fashion trends, parents do not always correctly assess the risk and benefit of introducing new educational methods. For example, pedagogical feeding, which was invented for faster adaptation of a child to adult food, often becomes a source of health problems in the baby. Moms try to give children a taste of hard, hard to digest food, because they themselves think it is completely harmless.
1. Meat from the general table
You can only give meat to the baby when it is boiled or steamed. If mom has a fried pork chop on a plate, then the child will not receive anything other than carcinogens. Even if the baby does not yet have teeth and he can only suck a piece of meat, then all the most harmful substances formed during frying, easily get into his body.
2. Canned food
Preservatives in any food are contraindicated for a fragile child's body due to a carcinogenic effect, negative effects on digestion and a high risk of allergies. In addition, cans are often coated from the inside with a special composition containing Bisphenol-A - also a very harmful compound, which, according to a number of European studies, increases the risk of cancer, causes developmental delay and diabetes.
3. Sauces
Mayonnaise, ketchup, salad dressings - this is a list of products that, as a rule, are very popular with children, but harmful not only to themselves, but also to mothers and fathers. In most cases, store sauces contain artificially synthesized substances that cause allergies, upset digestion and lead to obesity. In the event that you make homemade sauces from products from your garden, you can be sure that they do not contain unnecessary “chemistry” and that they will not harm the child.
4. Mushrooms
Mushrooms - the food is very heavy. For their digestion, the body needs to use a large number of enzymes, which the child is still simply not enough. Until the age of three, the digestive system is considered immature for such experiments. It should also be borne in mind that even one hundred percent edible mushrooms can accumulate toxic substances if they grow along highways, near industrial enterprises. When buying such products "with hands" you need to be very careful.
5. Semi-finished products
Any semi-finished products (dumplings, khinkali, fish and meat patties, meatballs, nuggets, etc.) contain chemicals harmful to the child's body: preservatives, flavor enhancers, soy additives. Soy is especially dangerous for boys, as it increases the content of female sex hormones in the body and can cause disruption of puberty. We must not forget that this whole “bouquet” of additives often serves one purpose: to mask the taste of a low-quality product. Thus, manufacturers get rid of “stale” goods.
Additional list
It is possible to list products harmful to children for a long time, but to create a short memo for mothers, we mention the most dangerous of them:
- sweets - up to three years can not be categorically;
- cakes and pies, especially with flavors and colors;
- sweet sparkling water, harmful to both children and adults;
- alcohol - needless to say!

My God, what I just did not suffer in the first years of my daughter's life. It seemed to me that all the people around were trying to treat her with something sweet. Mommy, be careful and patient!
I can share my bitter experience. Do not give children any smoked foods. Maybe there used to be real and correct technologies, but now these products are simply poisonous. And yet - do not feed your children anything that was boiling in vegetable oil - fried fries, pies, donuts and the like. It is also very unhealthy.
I, as a grandmother of two children, may not be the most experienced, I am only 45 years old, I want to call all young mothers to reason. Yesterday, I walk down the street and watch a girl of about 20 roll a stroller with a child who is two years old and he eats ice cream. This is horror! A child should not eat such food. The most harmless consequences are allergies. But it happens worse. It is necessary to feed the child with fresh, just cooked food. And not even from store jars, being led by a famous brand. Please watch your children’s diet. They are our future.
