 Infancy

Feed home based semi-solid foods to the infant after six months

• Breast-milk alone is not adequate for the infant beyond 6 months of age.
Introduction of food supplements (semi-solid complementary foods) along with
breast-feeding is necessary for infants after 6 months of age.
• Provision of adequate and appropriate supplements to young children prevents
malnutrition.
• Hygienic practices should be observed while preparing and feeding the
complementary food to the child; otherwise, it will lead to diarrhoea.

 Amylase-Rich Foods (ARFs)

• Flours of germinated cereals, which are rich in the enzyme alpha-amylase,

constitute ARFs. Even small amounts of this type of foods liquefy and reduce the
bulk of the cereal-based diet.
• Thus, ARFs help in increasing the energy density of weaning gruels and in reducing
its bulk as well.
• Mothers can add ARF to increase the digestibility of the low-cost weaning foods
prepared at home. Preparation of ARF is very simple and can be done by mothers
at home

 WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IF BREAST-MILK IS NOT ADEQUATE?

• If breast-feeding fails, the infant needs to be fed animal milk or commercial

infant formula. Milk should be boiled before being fed to the baby.
• To start with, milk may be diluted with an equal volume of water. Full
strength milk may be started from 4 weeks of age.
• Infants fed animal milk should receive supplements of iron and vitamin C.
• About 120-180 ml of milk should be fed with one teaspoon of sugar per feed,
6-8 times over the day. While reconstituting the infant formula, the
instructions given on the label should be strictly followed.
• The feeds should be prepared and given using a sterile cup, spoon, bottles
and nipples taking utmost care.
• Overfeeding should be avoided in artificially-fed infants to prevent obesity.
Low-cost home-made complementary foods should be preferred.
