Nutrition for babies
I have seen this trend in the last few years with the new mothers that they completely avoid sweet and salt for their infants till the age of one. It is a very good practice is what I believe and very healthy for the baby also. The baby's gut at that stage is still developing and it is ideal to keep the baby away from all unhealthy foods. The babies' bones are developing in that stage and excess sodium in salt can hinder that progress, and sugar will disturb their sleep patterns, hamper their teething process and lead to obesity. Every part of the baby is developing and hence the diet at that stage is very crucial , which is the mother's milk and then as the baby becomes 6 months old can gradually start with soft foods.
What amuses me in this whole process is that while they avoid till the age of 1, after that when they are introduced to other foods there is a free hand. I have quite a few small children in my circle between the age group of 2 to 6 and I see that they have all the possible wrong foods like donuts, burgers, pizza and all of that junk. You give a healthy diet for one year and then you mess it up, how does that work. The body of a child keeps developing till their teenage and even after that, so while we may not completely avoid the sugar but there has to be a total control on it too. Mac Donalds at any given time is filled with children, same goes for Dunkin Donuts.
One more thing I noticed is that when the baby starts with soft foods, mothers also get these ready food bottles for them, which mentions no sugar and no salt, but then what about preservatives, how can they miss that part of it. A bottled food can never happen without a preservative, else it will not have a shelf life. A lot of things are being done by just following social media, if some group of people say it's right, we start believing it's right and like wise.
Times are changing and new ways will flow in, but one also has to put good sense in all decision making, whether it is till one year or after that. This is the foundation stage for them, and they do not understand what is good for them and what is not. They will make fuss for getting things but it's the parents who have to take those hard calls and do what is best for them.

Really insightful. The importance of breastfeeding is usually talked about. But what of when you no longer breastfeed? Do you still observe that nutrition? A lot of mothers and intending mothers would really find this helpful and informative. I most definitely did.
Thank you, what I have observed is that the real problem starts after 2 when the child also throw tantrums and demands and parents very easily give in to their demands.
I think a healthy diet for a baby should continue way up until their teenage years when most of the formative forces have been built in their body. If not, they usually grow up with complications later down the road. It's what has happened to my niece, she ate too much sweets when she was a toddler.
That's right it should go a long way and not stop after 1 or 2 or 3 years.
Sweets are a killer and majority of the children are addicted to it

When babies are in tender age, it is necessary they are actually cater with and for because it helps to make their life more
It is up to the parent how they want to shape up their child's health
Another thing we should take note is that whatever the mother eat is what the child eats so the mother should be careful of what they eat and maybe stay away from alcohol for that moment
You are right, that's very important. Mother's nutrition is the baby's nutrition
yeaahh, dear, I agree with you!
I am shocked by this fact as well. When my son was s,all, I wanna save his health as much as I could and kept him far from anything wrong and harmful in foot. Actually, it's the same now:)) Many parents are so careless in this question.
Of course, he won't die, but are you waiting for death to stop??
Weird argument... If it's not a powerful poison that kills at that very moment, so it's ok...
Babies are so sweet....so tender...so perfect...so clean.... But parents are so different...
That's such a ridiculous statement, no wonder why there are so many obesity and autoimmune conditions these days.
