GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION:
Growth and Development
Principles of Growth and Development
Factors influencing Growth and

Development Conception and Prenatal
Development
Child development refers to how a child becomes able to do more complex things as
they get older. Development is different than growth. Growth only refers to the child
getting bigger in size.
When we talk about normal development, we are talking about developing skills like:
 Gross motor: using large groups of muscles to sit, stand, walk, run,
etc., keeping balance, and changing positions.
 Fine motor: using hands to be able to eat, draw, dress, play, write, and do
many other things.
 Language: speaking, using body language and gestures,
communicating, and understanding what others say.
 Cognitive: thinking skills, including learning, understanding, problem-
solving, reasoning, and remembering.
 Social: interacting with others, having relationships with family, friends, and
teachers, cooperating, and responding to the feelings of others.

Developmental Milestones are a set of functional skills or age- specific tasks that most children
can do at a certain age range. Your pediatrician uses milestones to help check how your child is
developing.
Although each milestone has an age level, the actual age when a normally developing child reaches
that milestone can be quite a bit. Every child is unique!
By the end of their first month, most babies:
 Make jerky arm movements
 Bring hands near face
 Keep hands in tight fists
 Move head from side to side while lying on stomach
 Focused on objects 8 to 12 inches away
 Prefer human faces over other shapes

 Startle at loud noises.
By the end of their third month, most babies:
 Raise head and chest when lying on stomach
 Support head well
 Kick when lying on stomach or back
 Push down on legs when feet placed on firm surface
 Open and shut hands
 Bring hands to mouth
 Grab and shake hand toys
 Follow moving object with eyes
 Smile at familiar faces
 Begin to babble
 Enjoy playing with other people
By the end of their seventh month, most babies:
 Roll over both ways (stomach to back and back to stomach)
 Sit up, first with, then without, support of hands
 Reach for object with hand, using raking grasp

 Transfer objects from one hand to the other
 Support whole weight on legs when held up right
 Laugh and squeal
 Respond to own name
 Babble chains of consonants (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
 Distinguish emotions by tone of voice
 Explore objects with hands and by putting them in the mouth

Information Sheet 1.1-

2 BASIC INFANT
CARE
INTRODUCTION:
A new born genital enlarged and reddened, with male infants having an unusually large
scrotum. The breasts may also be enlarged, even in male infants. This is caused by
naturally- occurring maternal hormones and is a temporary condition. Females (and even
males) may actually discharge milk from their nipples (sometimes called witch’s milk), and or a
bloody or milky-like substance from the vagina. In either case, this is considered normal and
will disappear in time.
The umbilical cord of a newborn is bluish white in color. After birth, the umbilical cord is
normally cut, leaving a 1-2 inches stub. The umbilical stub will dry out, shrivel, darken, and
spontaneously fall off within about 3 weeks. Occasionally, hospitals may apply triple dye to
the umbilical stub to
prevent infection, which may temporarily color the stub and surrounding skin purple.
Newborns lose many of the above physical characteristics quickly. Thus prototypical
older babies look very different. While other babies are considered “cute”, newborns can
be “unattractive” by the same criteria and first time parents may need to be educated in this
regard.
As an infant’s vision develops, he or she may seem pre-occupied with watching surrounding
objects and people.
Newborns can feel all different sensations, but respond most enthusiastically to soft
stroking, cuddling and caressing. Gentle rocking back and forth often calms a crying
infant, as do massages and warm baths. Newborns may comfort themselves by sucking
their thumb, or a pacifier. The need to suckle is instinctive and allows newborns to feed.
Newborn infants have an unremarkable vision, being able to focus on objects only
about 18 inches (45 cm) directly in front of their face. While this may not be much, it is
all that is needed for the infant to look at themother’s eyes or areola when breastfeeding.
Generally, a newborn cries when wanting to feed. When a newborn is not sleeping, or
feeding, or crying, he or she may spend a lot of time staring at random objects. Usually
anything that is shiny, has sharp contrasting colors, or has complex patterns will catch an
infant’s eye. However, the newborn has a preference for looking at other human faces
above all else.

While still inside the mother, the infant could hear many internal noises such as mother’s
heartbeat, as well as many external noises including human voices, music and most
other sounds. Therefore, although a newborns ear may have some catarrh and fluid,
he or she can hear sound from before birth. Newborns usually respond to a female voice
over a male voice. This may explain why people will unknowingly raise the pitch of their
voice when talking to newborns. The sound of other human voices, especially the
mother’s, can have a calming or soothing effect of the newborn. Conversely, loud or sudden
noises will startle and scare a newborn.
Newborns can respond to different tastes, including sweet, sour, bitter, and salty substances,
with a preference towards sweets.
A newborn has a develop sense of smell at birth, and within the first week of life can
already distinguish the differences between the mother’s own breast milk and the breast
milk of another female.
Infants cry as a form of basic instinctive communication. A crying infant may be trying to
express a variety of feelings including hunger, discomfort, overstimulation, boredom or
loneliness. Many caregivers employ the use of baby monitors or baby cams which enable
them to hear or see an infant’s cri es from another room.
Feeding is typically done by breastfeeding, which is the recommended method of feeding

by all major infant health organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics.
However, if breastfeeding is not possible or desired, bottle feeding may be done with
expressed breast milk or with infant formula. Infants have a sucking instinct allowing them to
extract the milk from the nipples of the breasts or the nipple of the baby bottle, as well as
an instinctive behavior known as rooting with which they seek out the nipple.
Sometimes a wet nurse is hired to feed the infant, although this is rare, especially in
developing countries.
Practitioners of these techniques assert that babies can control their bodily functions at the
age of six months and that they are aware when they are urinating at an even earlier
age. Babies can learn to signal to the parents when it is time to urinate or defecate by
turning or making noises. Parents have to pay attention to thebaby’s actions so they
can learn the signals.
Children need a relatively larger amount of sleep to function correctly (up to 18 hours
for newborn babies, with a declining rate as the child ages).
Babies cannot walk, although more mature infants may crawl or scoot; baby transport may
be perambulator (stroller or buggy), on the back or in front of an adult in a special
carrier, cloth or cradle board, or simply by being carried in the arms. Most industrialized
countries have laws requiring infants to be placed in special child safety seats when in
motor vehicles.

ENHANCING PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, INTELLECTUAL, CREATIVE, AND EMOTIONAL

DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION:
A. AGGRESSION
Aggressive behavior in 2 year- olds can include biting, scratching, hair pulling, grabbling
toys, hitting, and poking at eyes. This sort of behavior is common among young humans
and is part of normal developmental behavior.
All 2- year-olds are egocentric which means they think only of themselves. And things can
sometimes be more important than people so that when another child grabs a toy, watch out!
The child who loses the possessions will act aggressively toward the grabber.
Two- year- old children have yet to learn how to take turns. They have no manners, lack
social conventions, and have not figured out why sharing is desirable. Play with other
children can be
hampered because these children have not developed communication skills. Peaceful
interaction depends on being able to say what you want and understand the otherperson’s
want.
Some hurtful behavior is exploratory. Young children as they are learning motor skills sometimes
try out behaviors. What would it be like to biteMommy’s nose? What happens if I scratch
Grandma?
Handling hurtful behaviors like biting or scratching or hair pulling, even if it seems merely
exploratory, is always the same. Say,“No! Scratching hurts!” and remove the child from the scene so
the behavior cannot continue. You can hold 2- year-olds away from you so that their hands
cannot reach you. You can also put them in their crib or room.
Parents tend to overreact to aggressive behavior in young children for two reasons: 1) they don’t
know or fully understand that the behavior is part of normal development and 2) they worry the
aggressive behavior is NOT ACCEPTABLE TODAY, TOMORROW, and OR EVER. You do this
by being FIRM and CONSISTENT. You act promptly with stern firmness to remove the child
from those that have been attacked or injured. You do this every time the child hits or kicks
or bites. This is a NON-NEGOTIABLE matter. The lesson to teach: when you hurt people, you
can’t be around people.

In addition to ALWAYS reacting to hurtful behavior in the same way, parents can also try to
PREVENT aggressive behavior in young children.
 Don’t let the child get overtired or over hungry. Regular routines like naps and snacks can work
wonders.
 Try to avoid frustration in the child’s life. Common sources of frustration include rushing the child.
Plan ahead and leave plenty of time. Give warnings.


Give children as many choices as possible. Let them decide what to wear and which cereal
to eat.
 Tryto say, “No!” as infrequently as possible. Idon’t mean you should allow kids to do what they
want all the time but try to turn responses around. “we can go to the park after
lunch.” Instead of “we can’t go to the park because lunch is ready.”
 Work with young children on language acquisition. Name everything. Point out things in books
and ask them to do the same. Be sure to give children a name for strong feelings.
(“You are hungry because I said you couldn’t play with my pocketbook.”)
Yes aggression is a normal human response, but controlling our aggressive impulses is a
hallmark of maturity. So help your kids grow up by teaching them this important lesson.
B. REGRESSION
Regression, in psychoanalysis, is a defense mechanism leading to the reversion to an earlier
stage of development in the face of unacceptable impulses.
Examples of these would be:

1. When someone fails a test, they threw a temper tantrum or curl up and suck their
thumb, reverting back to how they dealt with stress in childhood.
Some people usually tend to regress themselves due to high stress and depression, while others
tend to regress due to high amount of being bullied in the past.
C. HUNGER
Hunger is a feeling experienced when the glycogen level of the liver falls below a threshold,
usually followed by a desire to eat. The usually unpleasant feeling originates in the
hypothalamus and is
released through receptors in the liver. Although an average nourished human can survive about
50 days without food intake, the sensation of hunger typically begins after several hours without
eating.
D. FATIGUE
The word fatigue is used in everyday living to describe a range of afflictions, varying from a
general state of lethargy to a specific work- induced burning sensation withinone’s muscles.

Physiologically, “fatigue” describes the inability to continue functioning at the level of one’s normal
abilities due to an increased perception of effort.
Fatigue is ubiquitous in everyday life, but usually becomes particularly noticeable during
heavy exercise.
Fatigue has two known forms; one manifest as a local, muscle- specific incapacity to do work,
and other manifests as an overall, bodily or systematic, sense of energy deprivation. Due to
these two divergent facets of fatigue symptoms, it has been proposed to look at the causes
of fatigue from “central” and “peripheral” perspectives.
Fatigue can be dangerous when performing tasks that inquire constant concentration, such
as driving a vehicle. When a person is sufficiently fatigued, he or she may experience
micro sleeps (loss of concentration). However, objective cognitive testing should be done
to differentiate the neurocognitive deficits of brain disease from those attributable to
tiredness.
E. BOREDOM
Boredom is when someone perceives one’s environment as dull, tedious, and lacking stimuli. There
is an intent anxiety in boredom, people will expend considerable effort to prevent or remedy
it, yet in many circumstances it is accepted as an inevitable suffering to be endured. A
common way to escape boredom is through creative thoughts or daydreaming.
F. LACK OF EYE CONTACT

Eye Contact is an event when two people look at each other’s eyes at the same time. It is a
form of nonverbal communication and has a large influence on social behavior. Frequency
and interpretation of eye contact vary between cultures and species. Eye aversion is the
avoidance of eye contact.
G. NERVOUS TICS
Nervous tics are involuntary movements or twitches that most commonly occur in aperson’s face,
arms, or shoulders. The movements associated with nervous tics usually last for only a brief
period of time and serve no purpose. Often, they are repetitive in nature. Typically, nervous tics
involve twitching of the corner of the mouth, grimacing, twitching of the corner of the eye,
blinking, or general repetitive movements with the arms, shoulders, or hands.
Children who develop nervous tics usually show signs of the disorder between the ages of
five and ten. When nervous tics first appear, they can often be controlled, but they become
automatic as the problem continues. As the child ages, nervous tics typically disappear. It is
however, possible for a

CAREGIVING NC by:
II
Provide
and care
2e0d1:9
infants/toddlers
31
nervous tic to persist into adulthood.
The decision whether or not to treat nervous tics largely depends on their underlying cause
and whether or not they are interfering with the person’s life functions. If the underlying cause is
a physical or mental health threat, then that cause must be addressed. Similarly, if the nervous
tics are making it difficult for a person to socialize or otherwise live a normal, happy life, it
may be necessary to develop a plan to control the problem.
H. CRYING
Crying is a part of life with a new baby. On average, newborns cry for about two hours each day.
Although the crying is spread out through the day, all that wailing ads up to more than you
probably expected. Between birth and about 6 years of age, the amount of crying typically
increases to almost three hours each day, no matter what you do! After that, the fussing
should eventually decrease to about an hour a day.

TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT USED IN CARING FOR BABY
INTRODUCTION:
An infant is defined as a human child at the youngest stage of life, especially before they can walk and
generally before the age of one.
A human infant less than a month old is a newborn infant or a neonate.
Upon reaching the age of one or beginning to work, infants are subsequently referred to as
“toddlers” (generally 12-36 months). Day cares with an “infant room” often call all children in it “infants”
even if they are older than a year and/ or walking; they sometimes use the term “walking infant”.
A newborn’s shoulders and hips are narrow, the abdomen protrudes slightly, and the arms and legs are relatively
short. The average birth weight of a full- term newborn is approximately 7 ½ lbs. (3.2 kg), but is typically in
the range of 5.5- 10 pounds (2.7- 4.6 kg). the average total body length is 14-20 inches (35.6- 50.8 cm),
although premature newborns maybe much smaller. The Apgar score is a measure of a newborn’s transition
from the uterus during the first minutes of life.
A newborn’s head is very large in proportion to the rest of the body, and the cranium is enormous relative
to his or her face. While the adult human skull is about 1/8 of the total body length, the newborn’s is about
¼. At birth, many regions of the newborn’s skull have not yet been converted to born, leaving“soft spots” known
as fontanels. The two largest are the diamond- shaped anterior fontanel, located on the top front portion of
the head. And the smaller triangular- shaped posterior fontanel, which lies at the back of the head. Later
in the child’s life, these bones will fuse together in a natural process. A protein called noggin is responsible
for the delay in an infant’s skull fusion.
During labor and birth, the infant’s skull changes shape to fit through the birth canal, sometimes causing
the child to be born with a misshapen or elongated head. It will usually return to normal on its own within
a few days or weeks. Special exercises sometimes advised by physicians may assist the process.
Some newborns have a fine, downy body called Lanugo. It may be particularly noticeable on the
back, shoulders, forehead, ears and face of premature infants. Lanugo disappears within a few weeks.
Likewise, not all infants are born with lush heads of hair. Some may be nearly bald while others may
have very fine, almost invisible hair. Some babies are even born with a full heads of hair. Amongst fair-
skinned parents, this fine hair

be temporarily bruised or swollen, especially in
Immediately after birth, anewborn’s skin is often grayish to dusky blue in color. As soon as the newborn
begins to breathe, usually within a minute or two, the skin’s color returns to its normal tone.
Newborns are wet, covered in streaks of blood, and coated with a white substance known as
vertex caseosa, which is hypothesized to act as an antibacterial barrier. The newborn may also
have Mongolian spots, various other birthmarks, or peeling skin, particularly on the wrists,
hands, ankles and feet.

COMFORTERS
Comforters (or pacifiers, or attachment objects) include dummies, blankets, soft toys or
thumbs that help children relax. Sucking is pleasant and calming for babies. Sucking or
holding comforters helps very young children to feel safe when they are not with their
parents or other family members, until they are old enough to feel OK by themselves.
Not all children have comforters. Children who sleep with their parents or a sibling at night, and
who are cared for during the day by a parent or other close family member seem less
likely to need a comforter. But they are very important for the children who do use them.
Parents can encourage a child to use a particular comforter (such as a teddy or soft toy) by
leaving it with the child at bedtime, but it is not possible to make a child choose what
parents want. It has to be something that is so special for the child.
Why children use comforters?

 Comforters have a special meaning for the infant and young child. The child
develops a strong attachment to, and need for, the object to feel safe when
alone.
 The object is reminder of the special close times that infants have with their parents
and becomes a stand- in for that closeness. They are a kind of bridge to help
children move from the safety of being with their family to the big world around
them.

 Children usually have a strong need for the object at times of stress or
change or separation, such as bedtime or when in child care, and studies
have found that comforters help children to deal better with times of
stress or anxiety.
 The comforter can also help the child to express her emotions. Children can fight,
cuddle or be angry with their teddy, dummy or blanket.
 As the child gets older and she is able to feel more secure inside herself, she will
need the comforter less and it will gradually fall into disuse. It is important to the
child to have control over this.
 If a child uses a comforter, the comforter can make a positive contribution to
her healthy emotional development.
At what age do children use comforters?

 Many babies get attached to a special toy or dummy at about 6 months of age
(although they may have it before)
 From 8 to 9 months on, the need for the comforter may be strong, especially at
times when the child is not with a parent, such as at bed time.
 Children need the comforter most between about 1 and 3 years of age, before
they have learned to feel safe when their parent is not there.
 Children are usually ready to give them up between 3 or 4 years of age- at least in
the day time.
 If a child still clings to the comforter by school age, it is important to ask what it is that
is making the child worried, rather than to take the comforter away.
When do children need comforters?

 Children use comforters most when they are worried, or afraid, or tired.
 They are usually needed at times such as bedtime or when staying with
someone else (e.g. child care).
 When children start preschool, some still want the comforter while they are there, but
they might not want the other children to know. In this case, sometimes a
dummy or piece of blanket can be pinned hidden in a pocket so the child can
touch it when he needs to. Sometimes a special place to o when the comforter is
needed may be helpful, as long as the child knows that he can go there
whenever he wishes.
 Helping other children to learn that the comforter is special and not to be shared
can protect the child’s rights to his special object.
 Sometimes, however, if the child needs the comforter a lot, this will interfere with
his opportunity to play.

Dummies
Dummies (or pacifiers) are commonly used comforters.

 Dummies should not be used with glycerin or anything sweet such as honey on
them, because this can damage the child’s teeth.
 One of the things about a dummy is that you can easily replace it if it gets lost or
damaged. It is important not to let dummies get too worn before you replace
them.
 Dummies should be tied on short cords which cannot go around a child’s neck and cause
strangling (no longer than 10 cm).
 Sucking on a dummy or fingers by a young child does not usually affect permanent
tooth position, but they can cause problems if they are not given up before the
permanent teeth come through (by about 5 or 6 years of age).
 Sometimes a child may develop a speech problem, such as lips, if the child
has a dummy in her mouth when she is talking.
The effect dummies have on breastfeeding is still not fully clear.
 If dummies are used with very young babies before breastfeeding really gets going
well, the babies may not suck on the nipple as well as is needed to keep up the
milk supply.
 Dummies should not be used to make breastfed babies wait for a feed when they are
hungry, unless your doctor or child health nurse suggests it to make the time
between feeds longer (space the feeds).
 Babies use a different kind of sucking on the dummy from the breast, so it is advised
by breastfeeding g organizations not to use a dummy until a breastfeeding is going
well.
There have been quite a few claims that dummies can have bad effects on the health
or development of children. These claims have generally been shown to be untrue. For
example, research has shown that:

 Children who use dummies are not likely to be less intelligent than other children.
(Some research with tiny premature babies has shown that those who are
given special dummies do better developmentally than those who do not get these
dummies.)
 Children who use dummies are not more likely to get ear infections
 Dummies reduce the risk of SIDS (see the topic ‘SIDS’).
Thumbs and Fingers
 Sometimes children will not take any comforter but their thumbs or fingers.
 Thumbs and finger are harder to give up than dummies or other comforters
because they are there all the time.
 Try to encourage your toddler or preschool child not to talk with her thumb or fingers
in her mouth.
 Past the age of 7, thumb and finger sucking can cause dental problems. If this is
happening for your child, you could think about whether her life is stressful, or
whether this is a habit. Also talk to a dentist about it. Telling the child to stop is
not usually helpful.

Bottles
Some children use their bottle for a comforter.
 If a baby chooses the bottle as a comforter, it is best to help the child get used to
having water in it between feeds from an early age. Perhaps use a bottle that
looks and feels different for milk feeds.
 Continually sucking milk or juice can damage teeth.

Soft toys and Blankets

 Because children really get attached to their comforter, they can get very upset if it
gets lost or falls to pieces- which sometimes happen with blankets or soft toys.
 If you see that your child is choosing a blanket or soft toy to be special, you could buy
another one like it, so that they can both wear out at the same pace and can be
changed when one needs washing.
 Babies should not have soft toys or a loose blanket in their cot or bassinette while they
are asleep. It is possible that the toys or a loose blanket might cover thebaby’s face. See the
topic ‘Safe Sleep’.
Giving up Comforters
It is best for children if they can give up their comforter when they are ready, not when other
people think they should.
 Children do this when the comforter loses its special meaning for them and when
they feel confident trying new things (usually between 3 and 5 years of age).
 1 and 2 year olds may agree to give their dummy to the fairies, but they do not understand
that theycan’t have it back when they need it. The child may be distraught when he later needs it
and it is gone.
 Nagging about it will make the child more worried and need the comforter more.
When you can see that your child needs it less, you can put the comforter on a shelf when he is
playing happily.
 You can tell the child where the comforter is so he can get it when he needs to, but it
won’t just be in his mouth or hand when he doesn’t need it.
 Make sure the child is not lonely and bored during the day so he is less likely to
think about the comforter.
If a child still needs a comforter a great deal after 5 or 6 years of age, or if a
younger child is unable to enjoy play without the comforter being there, it is important
to try to find out what is happening in his life and to deal with any underlying
stresses.

PROCEDURES ON BATHING AND DRESSING, AND TAKING THE VITAL

SIGNS
INTRODUCTION:
A. HOW TO BATH AN INFANT

Steps
1. Get everything ready in advance. Once the baby’s in the bath, you will never leave him
or her for even a moment. (See “things you need” below). This is will also alleviate the
need to run around with a wet baby in a towel while gathering all the gear together
once you are done.
2. Be sure you’re dressed in appropriate clothes- you will get splashed and/ or soapy.
Roll up long sleeves; remove jewelry like watches, rings, and bracelets. Many
caregivers like wearing a terrycloth bathrobe while bathing a baby.
3. If you will be in kneeling position, you may like to use a folded towel to cushion your knees.
4. You can use a special tub, or your clean kitchen sink until your newborn is several
months old (depending on the size of your sink).
5. Run the water and check the temperature. You can use your elbow, wrist or
special bath thermometer available in many places. Always test before placing baby
in the tub. The water should be comfortably warm to touch but not hot enough to
scald a baby.
6. Line the sink or bath (if necessary- many baby tubs are already lined). If using the
sink, place a towel or washcloth in the bottom. This keeps baby from slipping
around. It is also handy to do this in a bath if it is slippery. Have a cup handy so that you
can have something to rinse of any soap.

7. Keep your baby’s out of the water. If you has a child that cannot hold up his or her own
head, place your left hand onbaby’s back and gently use this hand to grasp thebaby’s left
upper arm to keep him/ her steady. Babies can be wriggly and slippery. Use a cup
or your cupped hands to get baby wet.
8. Use a soft washcloth and begin washing a baby. If you wish, you can use a safe
baby soap that is very neutral, but itisn’t necessary; a gentle scrub and wash down
are adequate to
keep babies clean. Don’t forget to get between all the little creases and behind the ears and
under the neck where spit-up and moisture seem to collect.Don’t forget to gently clean the
genitalia, too.
9. Wash the hair. If washing, lean baby back and gently massage water into hair and
scalp. Use cup to pour water over baby’s head. You can use baby shampoo if desired
but there is really no need. Baby is born with all the natural oils needed to keep the
scalp beautiful and shampoos can easily spoil this balance.
10. If you use a baby shampoo, use your hand to create a ‘visor’ to protect the baby’s eyes
form the soap.
11. Before rinsing, be certain that the temperature of the incoming water is not too hot!
12. Make sure any soap use if off baby before finishing the bath. Place baby in a towel
being careful to coverbaby’s head. When drying, make sure to dry gently behind the
ears and in the
skin folds, so that no excess moisture is left there.
Use a secure hold
A secure hold will help your baby feel comfortable and stay safe in the tub. Support your
baby’s back, grasping your baby firmly under the armpit.

As you did during sponge baths, pay special attention to creases under the arms, behind
the ears, around the neck and in the diaper area. Also wash between yourbaby’s fingersa nd
toes.
13. Towel- dries the hair as much as possible. The fine hair of a baby will dry quickly. Do
not use a hairdryer, as it is unnecessary and potentially dangerous.

TYPES OF FEEDING BOTTLES

Infant formula is an artificial substitute for human breast milk. Formulas are designed for
infant consumption, and usually are mostly either cow milk or soy milk.
Infant formula is necessarily an imperfect approximation since:

 The exact chemical properties of breast milk are still unknown.
 A mother’s breast milk changes in response to the feeding habits of her baby and over time, thus
adjusting to the infant’s individual growth and development.

 Breast milk includes amother’s white blood cells that help the baby avoid or
fight off infections and give his immature immune system the benefit of his
mother’s immune system that has many years of experience with the
germs common in their environment.
A baby bottle is a bottle with a teat (also called a nipple in the US) to drink directly
from. It is typically used if someone cannot (as conveniently) drink from a cup, for feeding
oneself or being fed.
In particular it is used to feed an infant with infant formula, expressed breast milk or
pediatric electrolyte solution.
Dimensions and design

A large- sized bottle typically holds 270ml; the small size 150ml. it is composed of a bottle
itself, a teat, a ring to seal the teat to the bottle, a cap to cover the teat and optionally a
disposable liner.
The height-to-width ration of bottles is high (relative to adult cups) because it is needed to
ensure the contents flood the teat when used a normal angles; otherwise the baby will drink
air. However, if the bottle is too tall, it easily tips. There are asymmetric bottles that ensure
the contents flood the teat if the bottle is held at a certain direction.
Teats (or nipples)

CAREGIVING NC by:
II Date Developed:
Provide care 2019
and support to
infants/toddlers
61
The teaitself is typically slimmer and more flexible than themother’s nipple. Babies can find feeding
from the bottle easier than breastfeeding. Specialized teats that mimic the shape of the
breast exist to allow babies to switch back and forth between bottle feeding and breast
feeding for cases where “teat confusion” occurs. Teats come in a selection of flow rates.
Different flow rate teats either have more holes or larger holes. The correct flow rate needs to
select based on the age of the infant. Variable flow rate teats are available for older infants.
The
hole is asymmetric so that by turning the bottle/ teat, different flows can occur. Specialized
teats are available for infants with cleft palate.
Vented bottles
“Vented” bottles allow air to enter the bottle while the baby is drinking without the need to break
the baby’s suction during feeding. Alternatively a bottle liner can be used to enclose the formula
instead of directly in the bottle. The liner collapses as the formula is drained.
Vented bottles work by allowing air to enter while preventing the liquid inside form escaping. A
vent is the most popular brand in this category. It works by an“anti-vacuum skirt” in the base of
the teat, where it forms a seal with the bottle. The skirt acts as a one way valve, allowing air
to enter the bottle but not liquids to leave. If he sealing ring is tightened too much, the skirt
is compressed too tightly to
a l lo w it to open and the bottle will not vent. If the sealing ring is too loose, liquid leaks from the
b o tt le .
There are multiple patents for technologies in this area. Initial designs called for a complex
spring and valve system that was impossible to clean and sterilize. Current research is in
specialized materials with microscopic pores that allow the entry of air without the escape of
liquids. This avoids the caregiver having to get the sealing ring tension just right. It remains
to be seen whether these materials can withstand the rigors of daily cleaning and
sterilization.
Another competitor, Dr. Brown’s, offers a system whereby the vented air is conducted through a tube
to the bottom of the bottle where the airspace is when the bottle is in use. This avoids the
vented air from bubbling through the liquid and unnecessarily aerating the liquid.

Variations and accessories

Bottles may be designed to attach directly to a breast pump for a complete
“feeding system” that maximizes the reuse of the components. Such systems include a variety
of drinking spouts for when the child is older. This converts the bottle into a zippy cup, a cup
with lid and spout for toddlers, which is intermediate between a baby bottle and an open
top cup.
Bottles that are part of the feeding system may include handles that can be attached. The ring
and teat may be replaced by a storage lid.
Accessories for bottles include cleaning brushes and drying racks. Brushes may be
specially designed for a specific manufacturer’s bottles and teats. Bottle warmers warm previously
made and refrigerated formula. Cooler designed to fit a specific manufacturer’s bottles are available
to store pre- measured amounts of formula so that caregivers can pre-fill bottles with sterile
water and mix in the powder easily. The containers are typically designed to stack together
so that multiple pre- measured amounts of formula powder may be transported as a unit.
Specialty, “designer” bottles are now quite common as novelty gifts for parents or just
something interesting for the child. They either have special logos or are of special shapes
(e.g. animals). Some even have a hole in the middle. Depending on the shape, these bottles
can be quite difficult
to clean. Another specialty bottle is made from heat sensitive materials that act as a built-
in thermometer. If the contents are too hot, the bottle changes color.
Institutions can purchase ready-to0 feed formula in containers that can be used as baby
bottles. The lid screws off and is replaced by a disposable teat when the formula is ready
toe used. This avoids storing the formula with the teat and possibly clogging the teat holes
when formula is splashed within the bottle and dries.
TOOLS AND MAREIALS FOR CLEANING
You will need a few items to get started:

1. All of the bottles you are going to sterilize
2. A large pot filled ½ to ¾ of the way with water
3. Dish soap
4. Warm water
5. A bottle brush
6. A set of tongs or something similar to remove the bottles from the boiling water.
7. Dish drainer or clean towels/ cloth laid on clean table top

A new baby means a lot of new stress for parents. Feeding your baby can be a big
trigger of that stress. Picking the right bottle, the right formula, and making sure your baby eats
enough are
just some of the worries new parents might face. Butit’s good to know that you can easily clean your
baby’s
bottle nipples without adding unnecessary stress to your home.
Instructions for cleaning
A. Before the first use

1. Remove the bottles and nipples from the original packaging. Make sure there are no
decals or other unnecessary items stuck to the bottles or the nipples.
2. Add water to a pot and bring to a boil. The pot should be big enough to hold all of
your bottles and accessories. And there should be enough water so that all of these
items can be
submerged.
Boil the3. es, nipples and all accessories for at least 5 minutes. If you have
bottl
too much to fit in one pot, it may be necessary to repeat this step several times.
You can use the same boiling water for this.
4. Allow bottles and nipples to air dry on a clean towel. It’s important that everything has
cooled to room temperature before you try to use it.

2. Place the bottles and nipples in the water and allow them to soak that come with
bleach to ensure the bottles are clean and sterile.
3. Rinse everything under hot water, and allow drying on a towel.
Sterilization
If necessary, bottles can be sterilized by boiling in hot water, in a specialized bottle

sterilization appliance (which typically uses steam) or in a specialized sterilization container
that is micro waved. Modern bottles are difficult to sterilize in boiling water because they
tend to float.
Bottles were originally composed of glass which was dangerous when babies learned to
feed themselves and held the bottle. For mainly cost reasons, modern bottles are unbreakable
plastic. Since bottles have to be made to withstand the heat of sterilization, the bottle can also
withstand the heat of dishwashers and are dishwasher- safe.
There is some concern about BPA leakage on poly carbonate bottles due to extended
dishwasher or boiling. However, unless there are infant healths concerns, or concerns
about water contamination, baby bottle sterilization can be replaced by cleaning with hot
soapy water.

The cross-cradle hold is ideal for early breast-feeding, when you and your newborn are getting
used to the process. Sit up straight in a comfortable chair with armrests. Hold your baby
crosswise in the crook of the arm opposite the breast you’re feeding from- left arm for right
breast, right arm for left. Support the baby’s trunk and head with your forearm and palm. Place
your other hand beneath your breast in a U-shaped hold. This will help you guide thebaby’s
mouth to your breast and make it easier for the baby to latch on properly.
Don’t bend over or lean forward to bring your breast to your baby. Instead, cradle your baby close
to your breast.

The cradle hold is similar to the cross- cradle hold, but you support the baby with the arm
on the same side as the nursing breast, rather than the opposite arm. As with the cross- cradle
hold, sit up straight- preferably in a chair with armrests. Cradle your baby and rest his or
her head in the crook of your elbow while he or she faces your breast. For extra support,
place a pillow on your lap.
Football hold
Another option is the football hold. This position is especially popular among mothers who:
 Are recovering from caesarian births
 Have large breasts
 Are nursing a premature baby or two babies at once
 Need to encourage a baby to take more of the nipple into his or her mouth
Hold your baby at your side, with your elbow bent. With your open hand, support yourbaby’s

breastfeeding. It’s also a good choice when you’re tired. If you’re recuperating from a Caesarian
birth, reclining may be your only option for the first few days.
Lie on your side and face your baby toward your breast, supporting him or her with the hand of the
armyou’re resting on. With your other arm and hand, grasp your beast and then touch your nipple to your
baby’s lips. Once your baby latches on, use the bottom arm to support your own head and your top
hand and arm to help support the baby.
Breastfeeding is the feeding of an infant or young child with milk from awoman’s breasts. Babies
have a sucking reflex that enables them to suck and swallow milk.
With few exceptions, human breast milk is the best source of nourishment for human
infants. However, experts disagree about how long to breastfeed to gain the greatest benefit,
and how much more risk in involved in using artificial formulas.
A mother may breastfeed her infant, or another infant, e.g. as a wet nurse. While there are
conflicting studies about the relative value of artificial feeding, including infant formula, it is
acknowledged to be inferior to breastfeeding for both full term and premature infants. In
many countries, including the First World, artificial feeding is associated with more deaths from
diarrhea in infants.
Lactation
The production, secretion and ejection of milk is called lactation. It is one of the defining features
of being a mammal.
Breast milk
Not all the properties of breast milk are understood, but its nutrient content is relatively stable.
Brest milk is made from the nutrients in the mother’s bloodstream and bodily stores. Some
studies estimate that a woman who breastfeeds her infants exclusively uses 400-600 extra
calories a day in producing a milk. The composition of breast milk and amount of water, fat and
other nutrients varies

e n vi ro n m e n t.
and
Foremilk, released at the beginning of a feed, is watery, low in fat and high in carbohydrates.
Hind milk, released as the feed progresses, is creamier. There is no sharp distinction between
foremilk and hind milk and the transition from one to the other is very gradual. The fat
content of the milk is primarily determined by the emptiness of the breast- the less milk in
the breast, the higher the fat content. The breast can never be truly “emptied” since milk
production is continuous.

The benefits of breastfeeding babies are well documented. The American Academy of
Pediatrics states;
Breastfeeding is associated with a lower risk for the following diseases:
 Atopic disease\autoimmune thyroid diseases
 Bacterial meningitis
 Celiac disease
 Diabetes
 Diarrhea
 Eczema
 Necrotizing enter colitis
 Obesity
 Otitis media (ear infection)
 Respiratory infection and wheezing
 Urinary tract infection
Breast milk has several anti- infective factors, including the anti- amoebic factor BSSL,
(Rodriguez- Palmero, Koletzko, Kunz, & Jensen, 1999), lactoferrin, the second most common
protein in human
milk that binds to iron and inhibits the growth of intestinal bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, and
IgA’ which protects breastfeeding infant’s from microbial infection.
Breast milk contains the right amount of the amino acids cystine, methionine, and taurine that
are essential for neuronal (brain and nerve) development. A New Zealand study took 280
infants and assessed them at the 7-8 years of age on their verbal and performance IQ.
Researchers also asked the mothers if they had breastfed or not and for how long. 37% of
the mother’s had breastfed for 4 months or longer. Children who were breastfed for 8 months or
longer had meant verbal IQ scores that were 10.2 points higher and performance IQ scores that
were 6.2 higher than children who were not breastfed. Their data suggests that breastfeeding
may have long term
effects on children’s cognitive development.
Exclusive breastfeeding may reduce the risk of HIV transmission from mother to child. A
case- control study was done on HIV infected Tanzanian women and their children to
determine the effects of breastfeeding on transmitting the disease from mother to child.
Benefits for the mother

Breastfeeding is the most cost effective. It provides the best nourishment for a child with a little
extra food for the mother; infant formulas are not as good and cost much more.

Breastfeeding releases the hormones oxytocin and prolactin which relax the mother and make
her feel more nurturing toward her baby. Breastfeeding soon after giving birth increases the
mother’s oxytocin levels, making her uterus contract more quickly in reducing bleeding
bleeding. Oxytocin is similar to pitocin, a synthetic hormone used to make the uterus
contract.
As fat accumulated during pregnancy is used to produce milk, breastfeeding can help mothers lose
weight. Frequent and exclusive breastfeeding can delay the return of ovulation, and
therefore fertility. Ovulation returns before menstruation does, and women can become
pregnant before
menstruation returns. Therefore, breastfeeding cannot be used as the only form of fertility
regulation without careful and skillful observation of a combination of other fertility signs,
such as cervical position and texture, basal body temperature, and commercial predictor’s
kit.
Breastfeeding is possible throughout pregnancy, but generally milk production will be reduced at
some point during the pregnancy.
Breastfeeding mothers have less risk of breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer, and less
risk of osteoporosis. Mother who breastfeed longer than eight months have better bone re-
mineralization. Breastfeeding diabetic mothers require less insulin. Breastfeeding helps
stabilize maternal endometriosis; there is less risk of postpartum hemorrhage, and less risk
and beneficial effects on insulin levels of mothers with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Some breastfeeding women have pain from thrush or staph infections of the nipple. With continued
breast feeding and treatment these can be easily managed and be of little concern for
mother and child.
Bonding
The hormones released during breastfeeding strengthen the maternal bond, the nurturing
feelings the mother has towards her child. This is very important as up to 80% of mothers
suffer from some form of postpartum depression, though most cases are very mild. The
woman’s partner and other caregivers can support here in a variety of ways and this support
is an important factor in successful
breastfeeding rates.
Breastfeeding can affect family relationships. While some partners may feel left out when
the mother is feeding the baby, others find breastfeeding strengthens family bonds. Looking
after a new baby and breastfeeding take time. This can add pressure to the family, as the
partner has to care for the mother as well as doing tasks she would otherwise do.
However, as a partner is often very willing to give this support, this pressure can help to
strengthen the couple’s pair bond and also to build the paternal bond to the new member of
the family.
If the mother is away, an alternative caregiver may be able to feed the baby with expressed
breast milk (EBM). The various breast pumps available for sale and rent help working mothers to
feed their

and support to
infants/toddlers
78
babies breast milk for as long as they want. However, the mother must produce and store
enough milk to feed the child for the time she is away and this may not always be practical.
Also, the other caregiver must be comfortable in handling breast milk. These two factors may
prompt the mother- perhaps against her wishes- to give up breastfeeding.
Time and place for breastfeeding

Breastfeeding at least once every two to three hours helps to maintain milk production. For most
women, eight breastfeeding or pumping sessions every 24 hours keeps their milk production
high. Newborn babies may feel more often than this: 10 to 12 breastfeeding sessions every
24 hours is
common, and some may even feed 18 times a day. Feeding a baby on demand (sometimes
referred to as “on cue”), may mean breastfeeding much more than the recommended minimum.
Feeding when the baby shows early signs of hunger is the best way to maintain milk
production and ensure the baby’s needs for milk and comfort are being met.
However, it may be important to recognize whether a baby is truly hungry, as
breastfeeding too frequently may mean the child receives a disproportionately high
amount of foremilk, and not enough hind milk, potentially creating problems.
Babies usually show they are hungry by waking up (newborns), mouthing their fists,
moaning or fussing. Crying is a late indicator of hunger. When a baby’s cheeks are stroked, the
rooting instinct makes it move its face towards the stroking and open its mouth.
Breastfeeding can make mothers thirsty, especially at first, when both mother and baby
are inexperienced and when feeding sessions can last for an hour or more (there is no time
limit for breastfeeding). Having water readily available helps mothers maintain proper
hydration.
Most states now have breastfeeding laws which allow a mother to breastfeed her baby
anywhere she is allowed to be. In hospitals, rooming- in care is used for breastfeeding.
There are breastfeeding rooms in some places, including hypermarkets.
Latching on, feeding and positioning

When the nipple strokes the baby’s cheek will open its mouth and turn towards the nipple. To
help the baby latch on well, push the nipple into its mouth so that the baby has a mouthful of
nipple and

Many women wearing nursing brassieres for easier access to the breast, but these are not
always necessary and certainly not required. In the very early days, wearing a nursing bra
can make breastfeeding complicated and uncomfortable. Wearing a bra at anytime afterbirth
will not affect how the breast changes with pregnancy and breastfeeding. Many women find that
the size of their breasts change dramatically and so fitting a bra is better done after childbirth
rather than before. An ill- fitting bra, whether designed for nursing or otherwise, can cause
plugged ducts or mastitis.
Pain in the nipple or breast is linked to incorrect breastfeeding techniques. Failure to latch on is one

of the main reasons for ineffective feeding and can lead to infant health concerns. A 2006
study found that inadequate parental education, incorrect breastfeeding techniques, or
both were associated with higher rates of preventable hospital admissions in newborns.
The baby may full away from the nipple after a few minutes or after a much longer period
of time. Normal feeds at the breast can last a few sucks (newborns), from 10 to 20 minutes
or even longer (on demand). Sometimes, after the finishing of a breast, the mother may
offer the other breast.
The length of feeds varies a lot. Regardless of the time taken, the breastfeeding mother should be
comfortable.
 Upright: the sitting position with the back straight and leaning back comfortably.
 Mobile: the mother carries her nursing in a sling or other baby carrier while breastfeeding.
Doing so permits the mother to incorporate breastfeeding into the varied work of daily life.
 Lying down: good for night feeds and for those who have had caesarian section
 On her back: mother is usually sitting slightly upright; particularly useful for tandem
breastfeeding (nursing more than one child)
 On her side: the mother and baby lie on their sides
 Hand and Knees: the mother is on all fours with the baby underneath her ( not
usually recommended)
While most women breastfeed their child in the cradling position, there are many ways to hold
the feeding baby. It depends on the mother andchild’s comfort and the feeding preference of the
baby. Some babies prefer one breast to the other, but thew mother should offer both
breasts at every nursing with her newborn.
 Cradling positions:
 Cradle hold: the baby is held with its head in the woman’s elbow horizontally across
the abdomen, “tummy to tummy”, with the woman in an upright and supported

position image
 Cross- cradle hold: as above but the baby is held with its head in the woman’s hand

When tandem breastfeeding, the mother is unable to move the baby from one breast to another
and comfort can be more of an issue. As tandem breastfeeding brings extra strain to the
arms, especially as the babies grow, many mothers of twins recommend the use of more
supporting pillows. Favored positions include:
 Double cradle hold
 Double clutch hold
 One clutched baby and one cradled baby
 Lying down
Expressing breast milk
Manual Breast
When direct breastfeeding is not possible, a mother can express (artificially remove and
store) her milk. With manual massage or using a breast pump, a woman can express her
milk and keep it in freezer storage bags, a supplemental nursing system, or a bottle ready
for use.
Breast milk may be kept at room temperature for up to ten hours, refrigerated for up to eight
days or frozen from up to four to six months. Research suggests that the antioxidant activity in
expressed
breast milk decreases over time but it still remains at higher levels than in infant formula.
Expressing breast milk can maintain a mother’s supply when she and her child are apart. If a sick baby
is unable to feed, expressed milk can be fed through a nasogastric tube.
Expressed milk can also be used when a mother is having trouble breastfeeding, such as
when a newborn causes grazing and bruising. If an older baby bites the nipple, the
mother’s reaction-‘a jump and cry of pain’ is usually enough to discourage the child from biting
again. (Another possibility is responding to the bite by drawing the baby so close that is nose is
covered and he cannot breathe without releasing. Babies or toddlers that are truly feeding
cannot physically bite the nipple.

“Exclusively Expressing”, “Exclusively Pumping” and “EPing” are terms for a mother who feeds her

baby exclusively on her breast milk while not physically breastfeeding. This may arise
because her baby is unable or unwilling to latch on to the breast. With good pumping habits,
particularly in the first 12 weeks when the milk supply is being established, it is possible to
produce enough milk to feed the baby for as long as the mother wishes.
It is generally advised to delay using a bottle to feed expressed breast milk until the baby
is 4-6 weeks old and is good at sucking directly from the breast. Because it takes less effort to
suck from a bottle, a baby might lose its desire to suck from the breast. This is called
nursing strike or nipple confusion. To avoid this when feeding expressed breast milk (EBM)
before 4-6 weeks of age, it is recommended that breast milk be given by the other means
such as feeding spoons or feeding cups. Also, EBM should be given by someone other than
the breastfeeding mother (or wet nurse) and associate bottle feeding with other people.
Some women donate their expressed breast milk (EBM) to others, either directly or through a
milk bank. Though some dislike the idea of feeding their own child with anotherwoman’s milk, others
appreciate being able to give their baby the benefits of breast milk. Feeding expressed breast
milk- either from donors or thebaby’s own mother- is the feeding method of choice for
premature babies.

Mixed feeding
FEEDING INFANT FORMULA
Expressed breast milk (EBM) or infant formula can be fed to an infant by bottle. Predominant or
mixed breastfeeding means feeding breast milk along with infant formula, baby food and
even water, depending on the age of the child. Babies feed differently with artificial teats
than from a breast. When feeding from the breast, the tongue massages the milk out rather
than sucking, and
the nipple does not go as far into the mouth; when feeding from a bottle, an infant will suck
harder and the milk may come in more rapidly. Therefore, mixing breastfeeding and bottle
feeding (or using a pacifier) before the baby us used to feeding form its mother can induce
the infant to prefer the bottle to the breast. Orthodontic teats, which are generally slightly
longer, are closer to the nipple. Some mother supplement feed with a small syringe with a
flexible cup to reduce the risk of artificial nipple preference.

Feeding two children at the same time is called tandem breastfeeding. The most common
reason for tandem breastfeeding is the birth of twins, although women with closely spaced
children can and do continue to nurse the older as well as the younger. As the appetite and
feeding habits of each baby may not be the same, this could mean feeding each according to
their own individual needs, and can also include breastfeeding them together, one on each
breast.
In cases of triplets or more, it is a challenge for a mother to organize feeding around the
appetites of all the babies. While breasts can respond to the demand and produce large
quantities of milk, it is common for women to use alternatives. However, some mothers
have been able to breastfeed triplets successfully.
Tandem breastfeeding may also occur when a woman has a baby while breastfeeding an
older child. During the late stages of pregnancy the milk will change to colostrums, and some
older nurslings will continue to feed even with this change, while others may wean due to
the change in taste or drop in supply. Feeding a child while being pregnant with another can
also be considered a form of tandem feeding for the nursing mother, as she also provides
the nutrition for two.
Extended breastfeeding
Breastfeeding past two years is called extended breastfeeding or “sustained breastfeeding” by
supporters and those outside the U.S. some women breastfeed a child until the age of 3 or
more. Supporters of extended breastfeeding believe that all the benefits of human milk,
nutritional, immunological and emotional; continue for as long as a child nurses. Often the older
child will nurse infrequently or sporadically as a way of bonding with the mother.
Shared breastfeeding
In developing nations in Africa, it is sometimes common for more than one woman to breastfeed
a child. Shared breastfeeding is a risk factor for HIV infection in infants. A woman who is
engaged to
breastfeed another’s baby is known as a wet nurse. Islam has codified the relationship between this
woman and the infants she nurses, and also between the infants when they grow up, so
that milk siblings are considered as blood siblings and cannot marry.

weaning, and become lactose intolerant. Many humans have a mutation that allows the
production of lactase throughout life and drink milk- usually cow or goat milk- well beyond
the age of weaning.
In the past, bromocriptine was sometimes used to reduce the engorgement experienced by
many women during weaning. However, it was discovered that when used for this
purpose, this medication poses serious risks to women, such as stroke, and the U.S. FDA
withdrew this indication for the drug in 1994.

TYPES OF MILK
What are the main types of infant formula?

All commercial infant formulas are nutritionally sound and designed to support your baby’s growth
and development. Most babies thrive on cow’s milk formula, but some babies fare better with
other types of infant formula.
 Cow’s milk formula. Most infant formula is made with cow’s milk that has been altered
to resemble breast milk. The alteration gives the formula the right amount of
carbohydrates and the right percentages of protein and fat. The alteration also makes
the formula easier to digest. Remember the regularcow’s milkisn’t a substitute for
infant formula. Pasteurized goat’s milk and evaporated milk aren’t either.
 Soy- based formula. Soy- based formula may be an alternative for babies who are allergic
to the proteins incow’s milk formula or whocan’t tolerate lactose, a sugar naturally present
incow’s milk.I fy ouchoosett o use soyp products,b ess ure t o use as oy- based infant formula- not
soy milk.
 Protein hydrolysate formula. This type of formula is meant for babies who have a family
history of milk allergies. It’s easier to digest and less likely to cause allergic reactions
than are other types of formula.
More specialized
specific infant formulas are available for premature infants and babies who have
medical conditions.
What are the various forms of infant formula?
Infant formula is available in three forms: ready-to-feed, concentrated liquid and powder .
Ready- to-feed is used “as is”. Concentrated liquid (the only liquid that comes in a 13 ounce
can) and powder must be diluted with water according to instructions on the label. Ready-to-
feed and concentrated liquid infant formulas are commercially sterile. Powdered formulas are
not sterile. Preparation of any form of infant formula (especially powdered products) requires
careful handling to prevent contamination and minimize growth of microorganisms.
Manufacturer’s instructions should be followed in all cases.
A graphic depicting the addition of water and the statement “add water” are found
on concentrated formula containers. Because ready-to-feed and concentrated formulas are
both liquids, anyone caring for your child should be made fully aware of what form of
formula you use, and whether or not water must be added. (Powdered infant formula
containers also provide a graphic depicting the major preparation steps for the formula.)
What is the difference between milk- based and soy- based infant formulas?

The protein in milk-based formulas came fromcow’s milk which has been heat treated, making it
easy for a baby to digest. The sugar in milk- based formulas is lactose, unless specifically
manufactured as lactose- free. Soy- based formulas are milk- free and lactose- free; the
protein in these formulas comes from a soybean source that also is easy for a baby to
digest. If a baby exhibits signs of lactose intolerance or certain allergic reactions to milk
protein, the physician may recommended a soy-based formula to help treat these conditions. A
baby with confirmed milk protein- induced colitis
could also be sensitive to soy protein so might be given an extensively hydrolyzed sate formula,
one in which the protein has been predigested so it will decrease the likelihood of a reaction.
Parents
who seek a vegetarian- based diet for their healthy infant may want to discuss the use of soy-
based formula with the pediatrician.
What nutrients are present in infant formula and why are they included?
Infant formulas contain energy- providing nutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) as well as
water (an essential nutrient) and appropriate vitamins and minerals. The energy nutrients
provide the calories necessary to maintain bodily functions, support activity, and promote
growth. They also support desirable immune functions as an outcome of overall nutrition.
Protein provides the building blocks necessary to form and repair tissue. Vitamins and minerals are
essential in the metabolism of energy nutrients. Minerals play an important part in bone
structure, regulate certain body functions and together with water, help maintain thebody’s water
balance.
Standard iron- fortified formulas are naturally complete foods for normal infants. When a physician
recommends a formula not fortified with iron, another source of iron should also be recommended.
A physician may recommend fluoride supplementation to infants at least 6 months of age only if
the water supply is severely depleted of fluoride.
U.S. manufacturers of infant formulas currently offer infant formulas containing docosahezanoic
acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA), two nutritional fatty acids considered to be
“building blocks” for the development of brain and eye tissue. Formulas containing DHA and ARA
have been shown to provide visual and mental development similar to the breastfed infant.
MILK PREPARATION
You can choose between powdered, concentrated liquid and ready- to- use infant formulas. Which
is best depends on your budget and lifestyle.
 Powdered formula. Powdered formula is the least expensive type of infant formula.
Each scoop of powdered formula must be mixed with a specific amount of water.
 Concentrated liquid formula. Some parents prefer concentrated liquid formula. It
must also be mixed with a specific amount of water.

St.Paul
Surigao

 Ready- to- use formula. As the name implies, ready-to-use formula doesn’t need to be
mixed with water. It’s the most convenient type of formula, but also the most expensive-
especially when packaged in disposable bottles.
Whichever type of infant formula you choose, proper preparation and refrigeration are essential.
Follow these steps:
 Wash your hands and utensils. Before preparing formula, wash your hands with soap and
water. Be sure all the utensilsyou’ll usea re clean,t oo, including bottlesa nd nipples. You
may want to sterilize bottles and nipples before using them for the first time. After that,
cleaning them in a dishwasher or washing them by hand with soapy water is
enough. If you’re opening a new can of formula, wipe the top of the can with a clean
towel or napkin before you puncture it.
 Measure the formula. Don’t take shortcuts in measuring. First, use water and a measuring
cup to make sure the measurements printed on the bottle are accurate. If the bottle
measurements are off, mark the bottle appropriately. If you’re using powdered formula,
fill the scoop provided and shave off any excess formula with the flat side of a
knife.Don’t use a spoon or any other curved surface. Pour liquid concentrate directly into
a measuring cup or bottle. Make sure that the quantity is level with the correct
measurement mark.
 Mix the formula. Powdered and concentrated liquids formulas must be mixed with water.
Use the exact amount of water the manufacturer specifies on the label. If the formula is
too diluted or too concentrated, you may upset your baby’s electrolyte balance and
yourbaby’s
nutritional needswon’t be met. Never dilute formula tom ake it last longer.
Keep in mind that exposure to fluoride during infancy helps prevent tooth decay during
childhood and beyond. But it’s possible to have too much of a good thing.
Regularly mixing a baby’s formula with fluoridated tap water can provide enough
fluoride exposure to cause white streaks on the teeth. These streaks, which affect
both baby and permanent teeth, are a mild sign of a condition known as flourosis. In
more severe cases,
flourosis can cause pitting or staining of tooth enamel.
The American Dental Association suggests that fluoridated tap water not to be
used to prepare infant formula. Some amount of fluoride is still important, however. If
you use only nonflouridated water- such as purified, de-ionized or distilled bottled
water- to
prepare your baby’s formula, your baby’s doctor may recommend fluoride supplements
beginning at age 6 months.
After age 1- when infant formula is typically replaced by milk and other foods- excessive

exposure to fluoride through fluoridated tap water is no longer a concern. In fact, in

the doctor prescribes fluoride supplements, they may only be needed until your
child stops drinking formula and begins to drink fluoridated water as part of a
balanced diet.
 Warm the formula, if needed. It’s fine to give your baby room temperature or even
cold formula. If your baby prefers warm formula, place a filled bottle in a bowl or pan of
hot water and let it stand for a few minutes. Shake the bottle after warming it. Then
turn it upside
down and allow a drop or two of formula to fall on your wrist to test the
temperature. It should be lukewarm- not hot. Don’t warm bottles in the microwave. The
formula may heat unevenly, creating hot spots that could burn yourbaby’s mouth.
 Refrigerated extra bottles. If you prepare and fill several bottles at once, refrigerate the
extra bottles until you need them. Discard any prepared formula that’s been in
the refrigerator more than 24 hours- or any formula that remains in the bottle after
a feeding.
When might I need to try a different infant formula?

Fussing, crying and spitting up rarely indicate ababy’s tolerance to infant formula. But a few babies
don’t respond well to certain formulas. Report any of these signs to your baby’s doctor:
 Diarrhea
 Persistent or increasingly forceful vomiting
 Unusual fatigue or weakness
 Dry, red, scaly skin
 Gas
If your baby’s doctor suspects a reaction to the formula you are using, he or she may suggest
switching brands or trying another type of formula.
INFANT/ TODDLER DIET AND FEEDING PROCEDURES

A. INFANT FEEDING GUIDELINES
Stages of an infant development and introduction to solids

There are many cues that your infant gives to let you know she’s hungry. You may be surprised at
how many there are in a newborn baby. When your newborn is hungry she may open her
mouth, put her hand in her mouth, make sucking noises and, of course, cry.
The sole diet of an infant from birth to at least 4 months should be only breast milk or iron-
fortified formula. Any other forms of milk or solids should not be introduced. These foods or
milks can cause problems for the developing infant. It is much safer to wait until your infant
is at least 4 months and only if she is developmentally ready!

What are Some Good Table Foods to Start With?

1. Start with small bits of soft fruit such as bananas or vegetables
2. Mashed potatoes
3. Well- cooked mashed vegetables
4. Yogurt
5. Canned, drained tuna or salmon (no bones)
6. Mashed or refried beans
7. Mashed egg yolk (wait until at least a year of age before introducing egg whites-
baby may have an allergy to egg white)
When a Cup Should Be Introduced

Your baby maybe ready to start drinking from a cup between 6- 8 months. The 6 month old
who is sitting up unsupported and is using both hands for play is developmentally ready to
begin learning to drink from a cup. Start with a small amount of breast milk or a formula in
the cup, hold the baby in your lap and show him how to drink. Small amounts of apple,
pear or other juice may be offered in the cup. Infants do not need more than 4 ounces of
juice a day. This is also a good time to introduce plain water.
Infant Weight Gain

Breastfed infants generally gain weight according to the following guidelines: 0-4 months:
170 grams per week
4-6 months: 113-142 grams per
week 6-12 months: 57-113 grams
per week
It is acceptable for some babies to gain 113- 142 grams (4-5 ounces) per week. This
average is taken from the lowest weight, not the birth weight.
The average breastfed baby doubles birth weight in 5-6 months. By one year, the typical breastfed
baby will weigh about 2 ½ times birth weight. At one year, breastfed babies tend to be
leaner than bottle fed babies. By two years, differences in weight gain and growth between
breastfed and
formula- fed babies are no longer evident.
B. FEEDING THE TODDLER

Only fight battles you can win. You can stop a toddler from doing what you don’t want her to do,
but you can’t get her to do what you want her to do. You can get her to come to the table, but
you can’t make her eat.

Simple things to make mealtimes better:

 Have regular meals and snacks
 Feed a toddler every 2 to 3 hours
 Snacks should be planned, not just handouts.
 A good snack contains 2 of the 5 food groups.
 At least some of the meals should include everyone in the household as a family meal.
 Turn off the TV so everyone can pay attention to each other at meal time.
 Don’t allow toys or other distractions at the table- keep the meal social
 Respect a child’s speed at meals
 Sit at the table with your toddler as he eats.
 Talk and pay attention to your child, but don’t overwhelm her with attention.
 Enjoy your own meals and help your toddler enjoy mealtimes
with you. Parents are responsible for:
 Selecting and buying foods
 Making and presenting meals
 Regulating timing of meals and snacks
 Presenting food in a form a child can handle
 Allowing eating methods a child can master
 Making family mealtimes pleasant
 Helping the child to participate in family meals
 Helping the child to attend to his eating
 Maintaining standards of behavior at the table
The parent is NOT responsible for:

 How much a child eats
 Whether he eats
 How is or her body turns out
Foods to avoid: 12 to 24 months

Low- fat milk: Your toddler still needs the fat and calories of whole milk for growth and
development. Once he turns 2 (and if he doesn’t have any growth problems), you can start
giving him lower - fat milk if you like.
Large chunks: Pea- size pieces of food are safest- they won’t get stuck in your child’s
throat. Vegetables like carrots, celery, and green beans should be diced, shredded, or
cooked and cut up. Fruits like grapes, cherry tomatoes, and melon balls should be cut into
quarters before serving, and meats and cheeses should be cut into very small pieces or
shredded.

Small, hard foods: Nuts, popcorn, cough drops, hand candies, raisins, and other small dried
fruit and seeds are potential choking hazards. Also avoid chewing gum and soft foods like
marshmallows and jelly candies that might get lodged in your child’s throat.
Peanut butter: Be careful not to give your toddler large dollops of peanut butter, which can
be difficult to swallow. Instead, spread peanut butter thinly on bread or crackers. You might
want t try thinning it with some apple sauce before spreading it.
More choking prevention:
 Avoid letting your child eat in the car since it’s hard to supervise while driving.
 If you’re using a rub- on teething medication, keep an even closer eye on your toddler as it
can numb his throat and interfere with swallowing.
Highly allergenic foods: Most kids can handle common allergens by their first birthday. But if
you’re concerned about allergies, experts suggest delaying the introduction of egg whites until
age 2, and holding off on shellfish, tree nuts, and peanuts (including peanut butter) until your
child is at least 3.
Foods to avoid: 24 to 36 months

Choking hazards: Even though your child is becoming a more competent eater, there’s still a
chance he could choke on his food. Continue to avoid the choking hazards listed above, and
c o u r a g e y u r c h i l d fr o m eating while talking, watching TV, or doing

dis tr a c t h im f ro m h i s m e a l.
anything else that might
Highly allergenic foods: By age 1, most children can handle most foods. However, in families
that are prone to allergies, it’s better to wait until after age 3 to introduce highly allergenic foods
such as nuts and shellfish.
Foods to avoid: age 3 and up

Choking hazards: Your child is a very competent eater now, but you should still be on the
lookout for pieces of food that he could choke on. Keep cutting his food into small pieces,
especially things like grapes and pieces of hot dog that could completely block his airway if
inhaled. Continue to avoid popcorn, whole nuts, and chewing gum, and discourage your child
from eating when distracted.
Allergens: Most children outgrow food allergies by age 3, so your preschooler can now safely
eat a wide variety of foods. (Note: Allergies to some foods, like nuts and shellfish, can persist
for years, so you may need to steer clear of them for some time to come. Talk to your
doctor if you have questions about these foods.)
Avoid common mistakes, such as:
 Drinking more than 16- 24 ounces of milk each day.

 Drinking more than 4- 6 ounces of juice each day.

 Letting your child fill up on sweets and snacks.

 Forcing your child to eat when heisn’t hungry.
 Giving servings that are too big. The average toddler serving is going to be about ¼ of an
adult serving size. Don’t go by the serving size listed on nutrition labels, as these are
mainly for elder children and adults.
Toddler Food Pyramid

Well, thereisn’t a toddler food pyramid. TheKid’s Food Pyramid is for children aged 2- 6 years,
but you can still use it to guide what your younger toddler eats, including 6 servings of
grains, 3 servings of vegetables, 2 servings of fruits, 2 servings from the milk/ dairy group, 2
servings from the meat and protein group, and a limited amount of fats and sweets. Just
remember that the servings sizes will be smaller for younger toddlers and are equal to about
¼ anadult’s serving size.
The Basics of a Toddler’s Diet

Although you shouldn’t usually count calories, knowing how many calories your toddler needs can help
when planning his diet and can also help reassure you that your child is getting enough to
eat.
The average toddler needs about 1300 calories each day. Bigger kids will need a little more
and smaller kid a little less. A good rule of thumb is that your toddler will need 40 calories
each day for each inch of his height.
If he is following AAP recommendations as to how much milk and juice he drinks, that will take
care of:
 300- 455 calories (about 19 calories per ounce) from whole cow’s milk (or a similar amount
from breast milk if you are breastfeeding your toddler 2- 3 times a day) if he is
drinking 16-24 ounces a day. Remember to not give low fat milk until your child is 2-
3 years old and don’t overdo it on milk. If he gets up to 48 ounces of milk a day, then he is getting
over 900 calories he needs all day.
 60-90 calories (about 15 calories per ounce) from juice. Don’t overdo it on juice either. If
your child is drinking 2- 3 10 ounce sappy cups of juice, that is giving him 300-450 extra
calories.
 A common problem scenario we see in kids whodon’t eat much, is a toddler who drinks 4
cups of milk and 3 cups of juice each day. That can add up to 1350 calories, which is
probably more than he needs all day, so it is not surprising that this childwouldn’t be
hungry for other foods.

So you now have only another 550- 950 calories to get in him, divided between three meals and
two snacks. That usually isn’t very hard if you look at the number of calories in foods kids
usually eat (although you should be choosing more healthy alternatives for many of these
foods):
 American cheese (one slice) = 45  Grape jelly ( 1 tablespoon) = 50 calories

 Pizza, cheese (1/2 – 1 slice) = 140- 290

 French fries (8-17 Funky Fires) = 150-
 Pudding (1/2 cup) = 110 calories
300 calories
 Vegetables (1 tablespoon per year
 Fruitcocktail, canned (1/4 ounce) =
of age) = 25 calories/ tablespoon
calories
 Yogurt (1/3 cup) = 50 calories
 Graham Crackers (1- 2 sheets) = 60-
120 calories
A sample breakfast, with ½ cup ( 4 ounces) of cereal, ¼ cup of milk and 4 ounces of orange juice
would give about 230 calories. If you instead gave a slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of
peanut butter and jelly and 4 ounces of orange juice, your toddler would get over 250
calories.
For lunch, consider a 1/2 sandwich (one slice of bread), with 1 slice of lean luncheon meat
(90 calories) and cheese (45 calories). Or a tuna fish sandwich (add 1/2 tablespoon of mayo to
the tuna to get 50 extra calories); sliced and quartered hotdog and water, juice or milk.
Dinner might include 1- 2 ounces of chicken (75-100 calories) or beef (120-165 calories),
2- 3 tablespoons of vegetables (50- 75 calories), some whole meat bread (40 calories) and 1/2
cup of milk (76 calories).

Plus, your child will likely need a couple of small snacks mid- morning and in the early
afternoon. These might include ½ cup of milk (76 calories) or juice (60 calories).
Alternatives might include some jelly, pudding, or yogurt.
This sample diet outlined above will give your child well over 1000 calories. In reality, he
may not eat 3 full meals each day though. Many toddlers just eat one good meal a day and
it is usually still fine. If he eats a good breakfast (250 calories), a small lunch and dinner (100
calories each), has a
couple of snacks (150 calories each), 16 ounces of milk (300 calories), and 6 ounces of
juice (90 calories),

INFANT/TODDLER DIET
III. DEALING WITH PICKY EATERS
When our first few children were toddlers, we dreaded dinner time. We would prefer all kinds of
sensible meals composed of what we thought were healthy, appealing foods. Most of these
offerings would end up splattering the highchair tray and carpeting the floor. To make matters
worse, we took ourkids’ rejection of our cuisine personally, sure that this was a sign of parental
lapse on our part. What was wrong? Why were these kids such picky eaters?
NUTRITIP:
1. Good Grazing- Good Behavior
Achild’s demeanor often parallels her eating patterns. Parents often notice that atoddler’s
behavior deteriorates toward the end of the morning or mid- afternoon. Notice the
connection? Behavior is at its worst the longer they go without food. Grazing minimizes
blood sugar swings and lessens the resulting undesirable behavior.
2. Dip it.
Young children think that immersing foods in a tasty dip is pure fun (and delightfully
messy). Some possibilities to dip into:
 Cottage cheese or tofu dip
 Cream cheese
 Fruit juice- sweetened preserves
 Guacamole
 Peanut butter, thinly spread
 Pureed fruits or vegetables
 Yogurt, plain or sweetened with juice concentrate
Those dips serve equally well as spreads on apple or pear slices, bell- pepper strips, rice
cakes, bagels, toast, or other nutritious platforms.
3. Spread it.
Toddlers like spreading, or more accurately, smearing. Show them how to use a table knife
to spread cheese, peanut butter, and fruit concentrate onto crackers, toast, or rice cakes.
4. Top it.
Toddlers are not into toppings. Putting nutritious, familiar favorites on top of new and less-
desirable foods is a way to broaden the finicky toddler’s menu. Favorite toppings are yogurt, cream
cheese, melted cheese, guacamole, tomato sauce, apple sauce, and peanut butter.

5. Drink it.
If your youngster would rather drink than eat, don’t despair. Make a smoothie- together. Milk
and fruit- along with supplements such as juice, egg powder, wheat germ, yogurt, honey, and
peanut butter- can be the basis of very healthy meals. So what if they are consumed through
a straw? One note of caution: Avoid any drinks with raw eggs or you’ll risk salmonella
poisoning.
6. Cup it up.
How much a child will eat often depends on how you cut it. Cut sandwiches, pancakes,
waffles, and pizza into various shapes using cookie cutters.
7. Package it.
Appearance is important. For something new and different, why not use your child’s own toy
plates for dishing out a snack? Our kids enjoy the unexpected and fanciful when it comes to
serving dishes- anything from plastic measuring cups to ice cream cones.
You can also try the scaled- down approach. Either serve pint- size portions or, when
they’re available, buy munchkin- size foodstuffs, such as mini bagels, mini quiches, chicken
drumbeats (the meat part of the wing), and tiny muffins.
8. Become a veggie vendor.
I must have heard, “Doctor, he won’t eat his vegetables” a thousand times. Yet, the child keeps
right on growing. Vegetables require some creative marketing, as they seem to be the most
contested food in households with young children. How much vegetable do toddlers need?
Although kids should be offered three to five servings of veggies a day, for children under five,
each serving need to be only a tablespoon for each year of age. In other words, a two-
year- old should ideally consume two tablespoons of vegetables three to five times a day. So if you
aren’t the proud parent of a veggie lover, try the following tricks:
 Plant a garden with your child. Let her help care for the plants, harvest the ripe
vegetables, and wash and prepare them. She will probably be much more
interested in eating what she has helped to grow.
 Slip grated or diced vegetables into favorite foods. Try adding them to rice,
cottage cheese, cream cheese, guacamole, or even macaroni and cheese. Zucchini
pancakes are a big hit at our house, as are carrot muffins.
 Camouflage vegetables with a favorite sauce.
 Use vegetables as finger foods and dip them in a favorite sauce or dip.
 Using a small cookie cutter, cut the vegetables into interesting shapes.
 Steam your greens. They are much more flavorful and usually sweeter than when raw.
 Make veggie art. Create colorful faces with olive- slice eyes, tomato ears, mushroom
noses, bell- pepper mustaches, and any other playful features you can think of. Our
eight child, Lauren, love to put olives on the tip of each finger.

“Olive fingers” would then nibble this nutritious and nutrient- dense food off her fingertips.
Zucchini pancakes make a terrific face which you can add pea eyes, a carrot nose, and
cheese hair.
 Concoct creative camouflages. There are all kinds of possible variations on the
old standby “cheese in the trees” (cheese melted on steamed broccoli florets). Or, you
can all enjoy the pleasure of veggies topped with peanut- butter sauce, a specialty
of Asian cuisines.
9. Share it.
If your child is going through a picky- eater stage, invite over a friend who is the same age or
slightly older whom you know “like to eat”. Your child will catch on. Group feeding lets the
other kids set the example.
10. Respect tiny tummies.
Keep food servings small. Wondering how much to offer? Here’s rule of thumb- or, rather, of
hand. A youngchild’s stomach is approximately the size of his fist. So dole out small portions at
first and refill the plate when your child asks for more. This less- is- more meal plan is not
only more successful with picky eaters, it also has the added benefit of stabilizing blood- sugar
levels, which in turn minimizes mood swings. As most parents know, a hungry kid is
generally not a happy kid.
Use what we call“the bite rule” to encourage the reluctant eater:“Take one bite, twobites…” (However
far from you think you can push it without force- feeding). The bite rule at least gets your child to
taste a new food, while giving her some control over the feeding. As much as you possibly
can, let your child- and his appetite- set the face for meals. But if you want your child to eat
dinner at the same time you do, try to time his snack-meals so that they are at least two
hours before dinner.
11. Make it accessible.
Give your toddler shelf space. Reserve a low shelf in the refrigerator for a variety of your
toddler’s favorite (nutritious) foods and drinks. Whenever she wants a snack, open the door for her
and let her choose one. This tactic also enables children to eat when they are hungry, an
important step in acquiring a healthy attitude about food.
12. Use sit- still strategies.
One reason why toddlers don’t like to sit still at the family table is that their feet dangle. Try
sitting on a stool while eating. You naturally begin to squirm and want to get up and move
around. Children
are likely to sit and eat longer at a child- size table and chair where their feet touch the ground.
13. Turn meals upside down.
The distinctions between breakfast, lunch, and dinner have little meaning to a child. If your
youngster insists on eating pizza in the morning or fruit and cereal in the evening, go with
it- better than her not eating at all. This is not to say that you should become a short- order
cook, filling lots of special requests, but why not let your toddler set the menu sometimes?
Other family members will probably enjoy the novelty of waffles and hash browns for dinner.
14. Let them cook.
Children are more likely to eat their own creations, so, when appropriate, let your child help
prepare the food. Use cookie cutters to create edible designs out of foods like cheese, bread,
thin meat

slices, or cooked lasagna noodles. Give your assistant such jobs as tearing and washing
lettuce, scrubbing potatoes, or stirring batter. Put pancake batter in a squeeze bottle and
let your child supervise as you squeeze the batter onto the hot griddle in fun shapes, such as
hearts, numbers, letters, or even spell the child’s name.
15. Make every calorie count.
Offer your child foods that pack lots of nutrition into small doses. This is particularly important for
toddlers who are often as active as rabbits, but who seem to eat like mice.
Nutrient- dense foods that most children are willing to eat include:
 Avocados  Broccoli
 Pasta  Peanut butter
 Brown rice and other  Fish
grains  Sweet potatoes
 Potatoes  Kidney beans
 Cheese  Tofu
 Poultry  yogurt
 Eggs
 squash
16. Count on inconsistency.
For young children, what and how much they are willing to eat may vary daily. This
capriciousness is due in large part to their ambivalence about independence, and eating is an
area where they can act out this confusion. So don’t be surprised if your child eats a heaping
plateful of food one day and practically nothing the next, adores broccoli on Tuesday and
refuses it on Thursday, wants to feed herself at one meal and be totally catered to at
another. As a parent in our practice said, “The only thing consistent about toddler feeding is
inconsistency.” Try to simply roll with these mood swings, and don’t take them personally.
17. Relax.
Sometimes between her second and third birthday, you can expect your child to become set
in her ideas on just about everything- including the way food is prepared. Expect food
fixations. If the peanut butter must be on top of the jelly and you put the jelly on top of the
peanut butter, be prepared for a protest. It’s not easy to reason with an opinionated two- year-
old. Better to learn to make the sandwich thechild’s way. Don’t interpret this as being stubborn.
Toddlers have a mindset about the order of things in their world. Any alternative is
unacceptable. This is a passing stage.
The Pyramid calls for eating a variety of foods to get the nutrients you need and at the same
time the right amount of calories to maintain healthy weight.

Use the Pyramid to help you eat better every day...the Dietary Guidelines way. Start with plenty
of breads, cereals, rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruits. Add 2-3 servings from the milk group
and 2-3 servings from the meat group. Remember to go easy on fats, oils, and sweets, the
foods in the small tip of the Pyramid.
What Counts as One Serving?
The amount of food that counts as one serving is listed below. If you eat a larger portion,
count it as more than 1 serving. For example, a dinner portion of spaghetti would count as 2
or 3 servings of pasta.
Be sure to eat at least the lowest number of servings from the five major food groups listed
below. You need them for the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and protein they provide.
Just try to pick the lowest fat choices from the food groups. No specific serving size is given
for the fats, oils, and sweets group because the message is USE SPARINGLY.
Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese

1 cup of milk or yogurt 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese 2 ounces of process cheese
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nuts
2-3 ounces of cooked lean 1/2 cup of cooked dry beans, 1 egg, or 2 tablespoons of peanut
meat, poultry, or fish butter
count as 1 ounce of lean meat

TABLE ETIQUETTE of Toddlers
II. TABLE ETIQUETTE
Toddler Dining Etiquette

Q: my two- year- old daughter will sit with us at the table and eat- usually. My question is-
should I have her eat if she doesn’t want to? Should I force her to try new foods? Should I make
her sit there until her plate is clean or until she’s eaten two bites of peas? If she asks to leave
the table before her father and I are finished eating, do I let her?
A. Trying to get a two- year- old to sit still is like trying to keep water in a sieve. Toddlers
are not fans of the niceties of dining.
Don’t force her to eat. You want her learn to eat only what she needs; forcing her to eat
now could lead to weight problems later because she’ll have no idea how gauge her real
food needs.
Have her stay at the table until she’s finished, and encourage her to try new foods, but don’t make it
a fight. When she’s done, let her excuse herself and leave the table.
Most toddlers eat only one good meal a day and that’s usually breakfast or lunch. Unfortunately for
them, and us, we focus on the evening meal. Relax and make mealtime pleasant for her.
Understand that, at age two, sitting through a whole adult meal is simply beyond her capabilities.

Your youngsters may know how to sit still, use napkin, and how to cut with a knife and
fork, but do they really know proper table manners? The holidays, weddings, anniversary
celebrations, school dances, and other social events are prime occasions for kids to
demonstrate appropriate table manners. However, far too many parents somehow assume
that their kids will know how to act,
what to do (and not to do), and how to exhibit proper table manners- only to be embarrassed b a
youngster’s double- dipping, slurping, or demonstration of finger- lickin’ good! You’ve taught them
most everything they know up to now, so take time and teach them table manners basics that will
dazzle at the next occasion. Here’s how to get started:
Teach kids how to greet relatives and guests. Many kids simply don’t know what to
say or appropriate action to take. If the occasion is at your home or you’re serving as
host, instruct your kids about properly opening the door and taking any coats. (Show
them how to hold them and not to roll them up in a wad.)Teach them how to
properly shake hands and how to appropriately hug relatives, especially elderly or
individuals with disabilities.

 If you are serving appetizers, ask your youngsters to act as a host/ hostess.
Instruct them what to ask, how to not interrupt conversations, and to tell them what
the choice is. If they are on the receiving end of an offering of hors d’ oeuvres, be sure
to tell them how to say hors du’ oeuvres and what it means to avoid the normal kid
reaction of “what’s that?” instruct them how to take one or how to gracious refuse. If it is
an item that sounds unappetizing to akid’s palate (and many do), tell them to simply
decline without offering any commentary about how it looks, smells, or seems to taste.
 At the table, show them how to pull out a seat for a guest and to hold it and help them
scoot to the table. Boys can do this for ladies or girls, and boys or girls can do
the same for older guests as a sign of respect.
 Teach kids how to place the napkin in the lap and how to sit up straight and near the
table. Be sure to let youngsters know not to plop their elbows on the table.
 Practice table manners such as passing food, asking for something rather than reaching
across the table to get it (and risk spilling a drink or worse), and to take only as
much as they know they’ll eat. The proper table manners protocol is to pass food
from left to right (counterclockwise).

served
and the host/ hostess to pick up a fork to begin eating.
 Talk about the no-no’s of “double-dipping”, slurping, licking fingers, or the ever- tempting
dragging a finger across the side of an item to taste it (i.e. icing on the cake).
 Practice sitting up straight and not hunched over, and remind them to bring food from
their plate to their mouth and not hunker down over it.
 Explain bread etiquette and how bread plates positioned to the upper left of a dinner plate.
Kids need to learn not to butter the entire piece of bread; rather, butter is placed on
the bread place, and then a bite-sized piece to be buttered only. Explain how some
bread is to
be “torn off” with your hands while other types may need to be cut. Younger kids won’t be apt to
understand the differences, but older ones should be able tom ake a distinction.
 Practice napkin use about how they should wipe their mouth appropriately, and where to
put the napkin if they need to get up or go to the bathroom.
 Offer your kids some conversation ideas, and be sure to emphasize that they are not to
talk with their mouths full or too stuff too much in their mouth, or chomp with their
mouths open, or other disgusting kid habits. Kids should be reminded to eat slowly and
not gobble down their food.

 Use utensils and only eat with fingers if it is meant to be eaten with fingers. Explain to
youngsters the difference, and how French fries are even meant to be eaten with a fork
and dipped into ketchup rather than with hands during certain occasions.
 Tell kids to always thank the cook for the delicious meal- even if it wasn’t to
your youngsters. Someone put forth an effort, and kids should be taught to find at
least one or two things they did like, and to praise those items in particular.
 Kids should stay seated until there becomes an obvious point where kids are
being excused and going elsewhere so that adults can linger.
 Adults should set the stage for success through practice. A “fancy table” can be set up
at home and kids can ask questions and practice so that they are comfortable and
familiar enough to wow everyone with their great table manners when it truly
counts!

CONDITIONING BABY TO FALL ASLEEPCONDITIONING BABY TO
FALL ASLEEP
Sleep in not a state you can force your baby into. Sleep must naturally overtake your baby. Your
nighttime parenting role is to set the conditions that make sleep attractive and to present cues
that suggest babying that sleep is expected. Try the following sleep tight tips, which may vary
at different stages in yourbaby’s development. Whatdoesn’t work one week may work the
next.
 Get baby use to a variety of sleep associations. The way an infant goes to sleep at night is the
way she expects to go back to sleep when she awakens. So, if your infant is always
rocked or nursed to sleep, she will expect to be rocked or nursed back to sleep. Sometimes
nurse her off to sleep, sometimes rock her off to sleep, sometimes sing her off to sleep, and
sometimes use tape
recordings, and switch off with your spouse on putting her to bed. There are two schools of
thought on the best way to put babies to sleep: the parent- soothing method and the self-
soothing method. Both have advantages and possible disadvantages.

1. Parent- soothing method.
When baby is ready to sleep, a parent or other caregiver helps baby make a comfortable
transition from being awake to falling asleep, usually by nursing, rocking, singing, or whatever
comforting techniques work.
Advantages:
 Baby learns a healthy sleep attitude- that sleep is a pleasant state to enter and a
secure state to remain in.

 Creates fond memories about being parented to sleep.
 Builds parent- infant trust
So- called “Disadvantages”: because of the concept of sleep associations, baby learns to
rely on an outside prop to get to sleep, so- as the theory goes- when baby
awakens he will expect help to get back to sleep. This may exhaust the parents.
2. Self- soothing method:

Baby is put down awake and goes to sleep by himself. Parents offer intermittent comforting,
but are not there when baby drifts off to sleep.
So- called “Advantages”: if baby learns to go to sleep by himself, he may be better
able to put himself back to sleep without parental help, because he doesn’t associate going
to sleep with parents comforting. Maybe tough on baby, but eventually less exhausting
for parents.
Di saIdnvvaonlvtaegse as :few nights of let- baby- cry- it- out

 Risks baby losing trust
 Seldom works for high- need babies with persistent personalities
 Overlooks medical reasons for night waking
 Risks parents becoming less sensitive tobaby’s cries
Remember, in working out your own parenting- to- sleep techniques and rituals, be sensitive to
the night time needs of your individual baby and remember your ultimate goal: to create a
healthy sleep attitude in your baby and to get all family members a restful night’s sleep.
 Daytime mellowing. A peaceful daytime is likely to lead to a restful night. The more
attached you are to your baby during the day and the more baby is held and calmed
during the day, the
more likely this peacefulness is to carry through into the night. If your baby has a restless
night, take inventory of unsettling circumstances that may occur during the day: Are you
too busy?
Are the daycare and the daycare provider the right match for your baby? Does your baby
spend a lot of time being held and in- arms by a nurturing caregiver, or is he more of a,
“crib baby” during the day? We have noticed babies who are carried in baby slings for
several hours a day settle better at night. Baby wearing mellows the infant during the day,
behavior that carries over into restfulness at night.
 Set predictable and consistent nap routines. Pick out the times of the day that you are most
tired, for example 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. Lie down with your baby at these times every
day for about a week to get your baby used to a daytime nap routine. This also sets
you up to get some much- needed daytime rest rather than be tempted to “finally get
something done” while baby is
napping. Babies who have consistent nap routines during the day are more likely to sleep
longer stretches at night.
 Consistent bedtimes and rituals. Babies who enjoy consistent bedtimes and familiar going-
to- sleep rituals usually go to sleep easier and stay asleep longer. Yet, because of
modern lifestyles, consistent and early bedtimes are not as common, or realistic, as
they used to be. Busy two- income parents oftendon’t get home until six or seveno’clock in the
evening,so it’s common for older babies and toddlers to procrastinate the bedtime ritual. This
is prime time with their parents and they are going to milk it for all they can get. In some
families, a later afternoon nap and a later bedtime is more practical. Familiar bedtime
rituals set the baby up for sleep. The sequence of a warm bath, rocking, nursing, lullabies,
etc. set the baby up to feel that sleep is association.

Babies developing brain is like a computer, storing thousands of sequences that become
patterns. When baby clicks into the early part of the bedtime ritual, he is programmed for the
whole pattern that results in drifting off to sleep.
 Calming down. Give baby a warm bath followed by a soothing massage to relax tense
muscles and busy minds. Be careful, though, because this will stimulate some babies.
 Tank up your baby during the day. Babies need to learn that daytime is for eating
and nighttime is mostly for sleeping. Some older babies and toddlers are so busy playing
during the day that they forget to eat and make up for it during the night by waking
frequently to feed. To reverse this habit, feed your baby at least every three hours
during the day to cluster the baby’s feedings during the waking hours. Upon baby’s first night
waking, attempt a full feeding, otherwise some babies, especially breastfed infants, get in the habit
of nibbling all night.
