Precautions for babies to eat snowy mooncakes

Children over three years old can only eat 1/4 of a mooncake at a time

Babies over three years old can only eat 1/4 of a mooncake at a time, because eating too much mooncake will increase the gastrointestinal burden, causing gastrointestinal discomfort and bloating, which will cause indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. At the same time, the intake of staple food and fat should be reduced to balance the baby's daily diet, because a Cantonese mooncake weighing about 4 taels contains 500 kcal of calories, which is equivalent to 3 taels of rice.

When eating moon cakes, do not give your baby soda, juice or strong tea

Soda and fruit juice contain a lot of sugar and calories, and pairing them with mooncakes is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, which is extremely harmful to the health of young children. The caffeine contained in strong tea and coffee is a strong stimulant, which is extremely harmful to the nerve center of young children, so never give them to babies! When eating mooncakes, you can give your baby some light drinks such as boiled water, light tea, or homemade hawthorn water, chrysanthemum tea, monk fruit tea, etc. to help reduce fat and relieve greasiness.
