Fatty Baby Foods Myth
Choosing the correct baby foods can seem like a minefield especially with all the information you are likely to come across saying this is the right way, don’t ever feed your this or that. Well a few of these baby food myths will be examined in here at High Chairs From Birth to help guide you as to the truth of the matter.
Unsaturated and Saturated Fats
Firstly, although many say that you should not feed your baby fatty foods, this is misguided advice, and one of the many baby food myths banded about regularly, as with adults, babies need fat in their diets, it is essential for a healthy body as well as stimulating neurological growth and we will not function properly without it. Where they fail to draw the distinction is between, healthy, unsaturated fats and the more damaging saturated fats. Fats are present in high amounts in baby formula and the completely natural breast milk. So if nature provides a high level of fat then High Chair Baby can guarantee that, clearly it serves a purpose.
Common Sense Choices
The problem for many is in drawing the distinction between healthy and unhealthy fats. Well such foods as the avocado are high in fat but are also one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, containing unsaturated fats and various other nutritional goodies that will increase general well being and development. The authors advice and that of High Chairs From Birth in general would be to stay smart and read the labels on the food your giving your child carefully, make the distinction between unsaturated ( mono and poly) and saturated fats. If you are unsure then research it online. Remember that it’s OK to give your baby fatty foods for at least the first two years, what is important though is to watch their sugar intake and obviously don’t feed your baby foods that are universally considered unhealthy for the population in general.
