Minh Ha's mother shares the rule "Traffic light" when feeding her baby
“The food of the children is always the first concern of mothers, especially if there are many children like the Ha house, surely raising the little angels is never easy because each child has nutritional needs. nutrition, food streaks, different preferences. But since the day I created the "traffic light" rule based on the Japanese mothers' weaning method, I have raised my children to eat solids. So today share a little for mothers to refer together.
This rule is very simple, just attach essential groups of substances to 3 traffic light colors for mothers to remember easily. (Make sure the mother will remember her "golden fish brain" after giving birth!) When she goes to the market or prepares snacks for her baby, whether she is a mother in a traditional style, a Japanese style, or a baby commander need to ensure adequate quality according to the rule of "traffic lights" is not worried about lack of quality. Detail:
Green: represents the group of vegetables and fruits to help supplement fiber, vitamins and minerals. Is the baby easy to digest, not having good resistance mainly thanks to this "green" group.
Yellow: symbolizes starch groups such as rice, bread, potatoes ..., is a source of energy for children to play and learn.
Red: represents the group of proteins and fats. Protein in meats, fish, and beans. In addition to products such as milk and cheese, baby oils are extremely essential in your baby's diet. Together with the group of proteins, fats directly support the growth and development of muscles, skin, especially the brain and nervous system ”.

Maternal opinion of 4 children on the role of fat in the diet of weaning children
“The reason I have to emphasize fat and nutritious cooking oil is because many mothers are mistaken, blaming fat as the cause of obesity or bloating, indigestion.
Previously, Ha attended nutrition classes and asked the doctor to know: fat is actually an important group of nutrients that is indispensable in the child's daily diet, especially in the first 3 years of life if want the child's brain to develop completely.
In a way, if you consider the young brain to be the house, the fat is the bricks. Without bricks it is impossible to build a house, just as without fat the brain cannot be constructed. Mothers who take their children to see a nutritionist, or are advised to add oil to their child's meals, do not let their children gain weight, but let their children develop that brain ”.
The best way for babies to eat Japanese weaning is that mothers need to focus on enough nutrients for the baby
"This age" consumes "very fat. How much to eat on the brain that. If we pay close attention to the children, we can clearly see the progress of brain development through each growing day of children from knowing to communicate with laughter, then by voice or moving hands and feet. grasping… It is okay for a baby to reach the correct developmental milestones, but if he sees signs of a little slow, we should review the child's diet according to the "traffic light" rule or not. Especially having enough fat - which is very often we "forget".
Moreover, fat also acts as solvent to dissolve oil-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, K, providing and storing energy for the body. In the past, I did not know that Ha often wondered if I cook for my children, she was also very sophisticated and qualified, but why did I keep being skinny and sick. Later, I understood that I added enough vitamins A, E, D, K to my baby but forgot to mix the oil with the meal, the other vitamins into the baby's body as well as water poured on the lotus leaf.
So choosing a source of fat for babies is a little different from adults. Young children mainly need fat to build the brain, so priority should be given to fats rich in DHA, EPA. In the past, Ha used to think that only milk was rich in DHA and EPA, but actually deep sea fatty fish such as mackerel, tuna, and especially salmon are very rich in this nutrient.
Everyone knows that healthy salmon, but you can't feed your kids every day, so it's convenient to replace it with salmon oil ”.
Is it necessary to mix cooking oil with your child's snacks?
The famous mother of four, Minh Ha, shared about how to feed her baby in Japanese style
"Every day to cook rice / porridge for your child, while still hot, pour one teaspoon (5 ml) of salmon oil and mix well, ensuring there is enough fat in the diet, but the fat rich in DHA, EPA too. (According to the document Ha read, if I only feed my child fat, basa fish fat, there is fat but no DHA, EPA. So having a bottle of salmon oil in the kitchen is very convenient).
At first, when I first learned about salmon oil, I was afraid of having fishy smell, there are many types of salmon oil that you can choose from.
In the end, raising children is a journey of continuous learning and experience. The above rule is that I summarize myself based on readable materials, ask experts and personal experiences, hoping to help many mothers. Everyone who has any good experience will share it so we can learn from each other. Hope you all will eat up quickly ”.
