Neglect of nutritious food?

That's not it. Let Cerelek eat with pleasure. The child also gains weight, because it is cute, it eats happily. The father then started feeding the child with Cerelec. After the child ate happily, he too must have been satisfied. How many parents have been cheated by a big company like those fathers who feed their children Serelec after giving the advice of a pediatrician?

Food company 'Nestle' is world famous for making baby food, milk etc. But the company seems to have 'changed' the policy. He makes sugar-free 'baby food' for babies in Europe, but makes it into balls with lots of sugar for poor countries in Asia. After this, the child also ate kupukupu. And they get advice from pediatricians in Nepal whether to feed 'Serelac' or not. In this way, big companies have not played with health by establishing one type of standard for developed countries and different standards for Asian countries? A prestigious organization in Switzerland has mentioned in its report that in order to keep the health of babies in developed countries, sugar is not added to other baby foods, including Cerelek, but in underdeveloped countries, sugar is added to make babies without applying European standards.

After six months, babies should be fed other foods besides breast milk. According to the Nepali custom, after 'Annaprasan' or 'rice feeding', the baby is slowly fed jaulo, mashed potatoes, dal jhol, halwa, litto. Babies often do not like these foods at once when fed in such a way. You have to taste it little by little. In Nepali kitchen, it is customary to make litho by roasting different grains. Such litto is rich in protein and other micronutrients. How many experts say that 'don't add sugar' to such a lito. Science says no sugar should be given to babies under one year old.

I am asked to speak about food in some schools. The teachers of a government school said, "We had to tell the parents what should be the nutrition of the children, because the parents ignore the nutrition of the children and send only junk food for lunch." By doing that, the students don't care about what we say.'

I was saddened to hear that the parents neglect the health of their children.' Mix all the dal and grind it. The parents of the child are used to grind everything in a mixer so that it is difficult to feed the child. The baby's teeth are also not well developed.' Hearing this, my heart was broken. This child has had to bear the fruits of his parents' 'poisonous love', and will suffer more in the future. I said, "Tell the child's parents, if everything is ground to a child like this, his teeth will deteriorate." Digestive power is also weak. Chewing with the teeth also strengthens the muscles of the face. The child is deprived of the pleasure of the taste of food that is chewed and it is affected when he does not know how to chew until he grows up.'

After listening to these teachers I thought – they are making children unhealthy. Feeding children this way of grinding everything increases both physical and mental problems. Chewing with teeth is a normal process of a growing baby. But why did you block this process? This should be said by pediatric and psychiatric experts. If there is a problem, health workers also tell children to be given Horlix, Serelec. And parents buy 'disease' by feeding them expensive things.

When I went to some private schools and discussed with the parents, I also heard that the child is given cornflakes and muesli in milk because they cannot chew chips and corn. From what I understand from the parents, the parents think that the cornflakes are giving the child a 'more nutritious' food. They don't know that cornflakes are made from corn. Similarly, a woman said in the discussion, "Corn cobs and chiura are the food eaten by the villagers." The cornflakes we buy are said to contain fiber and iron. That would be better than corn.'

There is no need to add fibrous material to corn, it is naturally in corn, but the company's advertisement has spread confusion. And I said to the woman, 'Cornflakes are not only made from corn, but after being processed and labeled in English and packaged, it is expensive. Teach them to cook and chew. A woman in the village said, 'Our children don't accept it when we give them rice, but they eat it with pleasure when we give them rice flakes.' element. Even if you don't get 'Riceflakes', you can only feed the chickpeas. She was shocked when she heard that both the objects were the same.

I have also told an incident that happened to me while discussing in the village. When I went to America, I learned that 'molasses is a nutritious food, it contains enough calcium and iron'. I told an acquaintance that I had to buy that item and take it to Nepal. Molasses is in his house. After feeding it, I realized that it is a 'knife' that is easily found in Nepal. I didn't know, because of the nutrients in it, the ancestors have been following the custom of eating it on the 1st of January. And he felt tired of his own ignorance. Instead of feeding the children with knives, parents in the city think, "What good is such a jabo knife?".

We have many nutritious foods. It only takes a little care by the parents to make and feed the children easily. Spending money from outside and feeding junk food may be easy for one day, but it can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity for a lifetime. So what's the point of feeding a child to make him happy for a while?

Nowadays, children become victims of many diseases when they feed them junk food, do not encourage them to go out and play, and allow them to sit in front of mobile phones, computers and TVs. In parenting education, there is a need to discuss not only that the child should be loved and fed, but also "Don't love and feed what you don't want".
