Then further even more - the child begins to eat mashed potatoes to drink juices, and there is a lot of natural sugar. Often, moms make a mistake to feed the baby without problems, they in puree and other food are added for the sweetness of sugar for goodness. This is not the biggest problem, a child as a child can form a perverted taste and understanding of products. Vitoge, he will not eat unsweetened food, and the constant use of sugar will lead to fatness. Therefore, from childhood, it is necessary to protect the child from drinking tea or water, well, if you manage to last up to 1 year.

Gradual addition of new sweets
After 3 years, the horizon of sweets can be expanded, now in the interval up to 6 years, the sugar norm per day rises to 50 g. This includes everything: sugar for cooking, including sugar, which will be in juices or in pastry baking, as it is not the only way to get food. costs at this age to buy a child a cookie, waffles, honey or jam. But up to three should not be a child of cocoa and chocolate, even if it is on products such as glaze for a tooth, etc. For children's enzymatic system, it will be difficult, in addition, the chocolate is very fatty, the children have not yet gained a stomach and pancreas.

You can also start to give low-fat types of ice cream, for example, creamy fillings. Exclude iris, caramel and candies at least up to 4 years old, it's just hard for a child to chew and swallow.
Children from waffles, cookies and other baking do not delay, but know that all the baking is done on flour of the highest grade, with the use of sugar and fats, respectively, they are very high in calories, with a lot of sucrose. However, there are very few useful substances in them: protein, minerals and vitamins. Try to limit the baby from cakes and cakes, from them develop intestinal microbes.
It is important to properly learn to get sweets. A child should not have free access to them, and should not be encouraged by the sweet for good conduct. Sweet must match food, for example, at noon or after dinner after dinner. Especially beware of consolation "candies", when the default silence instead of crying parents put the sweets, but also in punishment to select the sweet can not.
Do not give in to childish blackmail or pleas for sweet things, for example, on the street or in shops, "Well, buy it," it can continue indefinitely, as a result, by the time of dinner, the child will not have an appetite and whims will begin. It happens that before feeding is still far away, and the child walks up and is hungry, do not give a sweet, better give him a fruit or a salad of vegetables. As a result, the appetite will decrease a little, but it will not get many calories and will soon be ready for the kobedu.
Children under 7 years are very mobile. Whatever they do, occurs quickly and consumes a lot of energy, as a result of which the metabolism of the udetei is more intense.

It is these carbohydrates that give the child the right amount of energy to be charged.
The use of honey

The consequence of excessive consumption of sweets
As already mentioned, parents make two mistakes with sweetness, leave them without control or allow them to eat at any time. Probably, many know this, good grandmothers and loving mothers during a child's walk are feeding confectionery with buns, sweets or even ice cream.
Parents and grandmothers should remember:
- any sweetness has a negative effect on digestion and appetite, it will be difficult for a child after cupcakes and sweets to make them eat porridge. Even if he eats, then the body will digest a lot, and not having learned. With a good appetite the child does not get enough microelements, proteins, vitamins and trace minerals;
- also it is worth remembering caries, painful teeth in all the snacks, it is because of the excess of "sweet" carbohydrates that caries of the indigenous milk teeth appears. Studies have confirmed that children who comply with the sugar norm of 30 grams are much less prone to tooth decay than those who consume more sugar. Among the danger are candy-like candies, chocolate and iris;
- if a child constantly eats sweet, he has a broken mechanism, which is responsible for metabolism. In children with a violation of the vegetative system, the secretion of gastric juice is greatly enhanced, so that sweetness causes nausea, heartburn, and stomach pain;
- another danger for a sweet tooth is obesity. Children who are overweight, subject to the CNS functional changes, and changes are susceptible to immunity and endocrine glands. All this leads to cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. Here, too, the psychological factor is important, because full-grown children are always subject to stress because of their attitude towards them, they have low self-esteem, and children's depressions are developing. A child under 6 years of age with excess weight should not consume more than 30 g per day, in addition, additional sweets such as marshmallows, pastilles or marmalade should be reduced to 2 times a week.
It is parents who are responsible for the correct understanding of the baby's nutrition, tk. the child looks, first of all, at how they eat in his family. If at home everyone ate at one time and a full meal, and dessert is eaten, for example, fruit instead of cake, then the child will have the same representation of food.
