3 notes when giving bird's nest to a 1-year-old
Note 1:
Do not force children to eat too much bird's nest, and use an appropriate dose each week. If you give your baby too much bird's nest, the baby will get a stomach ache from excess protein. Mothers can give the baby 25g – 50g over 1 continuous month, on alternate days.
Note 2:
For children under 1 year old, if they eat bird's nest they must wait until at least 6 months old. For children from 6 months to 1 year, mothers can steam bird's nest and mix it into the baby's daily weaning porridge, or blend it smooth and mix it with milk.
Note 3:
When preparing bird's nest, use a moderate temperature. Do not let it boil above 100 degrees C, as this will destroy the goodness of the bird's nest. In particular, so that the baby absorbs all the nutrients in the bird's nest, mothers should give the baby bird's nest on an empty stomach. Take bird's nest early in the morning or in the evening before bed.

Besides the nutrients above, bird's nest also provides a high amount of protein and is low in fat, which helps bone development. It helps strengthen children's immunity because the nest itself contains a lot of iron. The fat-free galactose sugar is also a very good source of energy for babies.
Bird's nest stimulates and promotes better blood circulation. It helps children develop their brains and intellect in the most comprehensive way. It stimulates the growth of the child's body.
