Can Two year old baby eat tough food?

1.两岁宝宝可以吃硬的食物吗?

两岁以后的宝宝应该逐渐增加食物的品种,使其适应更多的食物,但两岁的宝宝乳牙刚出齐或未完全出齐,咀嚼功能仍然很弱,宝宝到了六岁时的咀嚼效率才达到成人的40%,十岁时才达到75%。因此,在制作幼儿膳食及各种肉,菜等时,均要细,碎,烂,宝宝才易于咀嚼。很多父母误解了,以为宝宝已经长出了大牙就可以给他喂食大人们的食物,就这样就可以训练宝宝牙齿的咀嚼能力,其实这样恰恰相反。

Parents should add more types of food to their baby's menu for getting their child to adjust to more types of food when their baby reaches two years old; however, baby's chewing ability is still quite weak at age of two, since they may just grow their deciduous teeth. Due to the fact that a child's chewing efficiency can only reaches 40% of a normal adult's at age of 6 and reaches 75% at age of 10; thus, parents should cut up meat and vegetables into very small pieces to make it easy for baby to chew when they cook meals for their child. Many parents may comprehend growing tooth as the signal to feed their baby adult's food (especially large-pieces and tough food), since they misunderstand that chewing tough food can train their baby's chewing ability; however, they usually end up with opposite result.
