Baby:
Karagdagang
Pagkain

Karagdagang Pagkain
Ang ibig sabihin ng Karagdagang Pagkain o
Complementary Feeding ay ang pagbibigay ng
pagkain o inumin dagdag sa gatas ni Mommy
para kay Baby

Dapat tandaan na hindi

pinapalitan ang gatas ni
Mommy, ito ay dinadagdagan
Bigyang halaga kung paano
pinapakain si Baby at kung ano
ang dapat ipakain sa kanya

Kailan magsisimula?
Developmental

readiness of the baby

Baby can digest solid
foods
No health disadvantages
from introducing solid
foods
No nutritional
disadvantages

Developmental
Readiness for Eating
Solids

Baby:

can sit well unsupported and control head

willing to chew (may or may not have teeth)
has lost the tongue-thrust (doesnt automatically
push solids out with his tongue) & gag reflex moves to
back of tongue
develops a pincer grasp (picks up food or other
objects between thumb and forefinger)
tries to grab food and put it in his mouth
has developed the up and down tongue movement
looks intently at people who are eating and imitates
chewing

Paano kung masyadong maaga?

Napapalitan ang gatas ni

Mommy
Nagbubunga sa pagkain na
mababa ang nutrisyon
Hindi na nakakakuha ng
sapat na antibodies galing

Early Childhood
Care and
Development

Early Childhood Care &

Development
Early Childhood = (pregnancy to 5 years old)

nasa sinapupunan pa lang si baby hanggang

lumaki na ang bata sa gulang na limang taon
Care = maayos at sapat na pag-aaruga kay baby
lalo na sa kalusugan at nutrisyon kasama na ang
pag-unlad ng kanyang emosyonal at sosyal na
aspeto
Development = ang proseso ng pagbabago ni
baby sa mga antas na pisikal, pag-iisip, damdamin
at pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga tao at mga bagay sa
kanyang kapaligiran
20

Kahalagahan ng ECCD
Upang maiwasan o

mabawasan ang mga

problemang pisikal,
emosyonal at pag-iisip
Mapagpasya ang unang
limang taon ng kabataan
sa pagbubuo ng kanyang
katalinuhan, personalidad
at iba pang kaugalian
21

Kahalagahan ng ECCD
Ipinanganak si baby na

may pisikal at likas na

katalinuhan para makipagusap, umalam at bumuo ng
opinyon. Kapag hindi ito
natugunan at
nasuportahan, hindi siya
lalaki ng matalino, maayos
at malusog.
Ang tamang pamamaraan
ng pagkain ay bahagi ng
Early Childhood Care and
22
Development

Kahalagahan ng ECCD
Karapatan ni baby ang

wastong pangangalaga
simulat-sapul pa lamang.
Tiyaking masuportahan,
maproteksyonan at maturuan
ng tamang pag-aalaga.
Nagsisimula ang pag-unlad
ng utak ni Baby sa
sinapupunan pa lamang kung
kaya napakahalaga ang
maagang magagandang 23

Domains of
Development
Motor

ability to move and coordinate

Sensory

acquiring the use of vision, hearing, touch, taste and

smell
interpreting movement and sensation

Cognitive

ability to think, reason and solve problems

Paano magpakain

Food and ECCD

How food is introduced is crucial for child

survival and lifelong health.

Taste preferences are

formed in early life and

the content and manner
of feeding may establish
lifelong cravings for
overly sweet, salty or
energy-dense, nutrientpoor foods and drinks.
26

Active Feeding
NOT Force
Feeding
Ang mga babies ay may abilidad na
kontrolin ang kinakain ayon sa kanyang
pangangailangan
Hikayating kumain at HUWAG PILITING
pakainin si Baby kung ayaw niya
Hindi kailangang maubos ang pagkain
sa plato
Magkakaroon ng problema sa
pagpapakain kay Baby kung masyadong

Make
Feeding
Fun
Eating is a socialization process. Eating together

is fun!
When humans eat together their oxytocin levels
increase and the digestion and metabolism of
their food becomes more efficient.
Highlight the importance of pleasure in eating
Take pride and joy in food preparation and meal
sharing
Sa paglikha ng isang malugod na paligid,

Interactive Feeding
A child sitting on the lap

of a mother or a relative
who loves him may
actually utilize his food
better because digestive
hormones are influenced
by oxytocin secretion.
Samahan si Baby tuwing
kakain siya para
matutunan niya ang
wasto at tamang pag-

Kapag kaya na ni baby

sumubo
Pahintulutan si Baby na gumawa ng kalat.

Maging pasensyoso.
Bigyan si Baby ng finger foods o
kutsarita/pinggan para matuto magsubo sa
kanyang sarili
Gumamit ng 2 kutsarita: 1 for
mommy at 1 for baby. Tamang
pagkakataon ito upang
masanay humawak ng
kutsarita

Interaction while

eating is important.

Kapag kaya na ni baby

sumubo
Mabilis matutong gumamit ng tasa/baso si

Baby na sanay sa pagpapasuso at hindi

gumagamit ng bote.
Gabayan si Baby habang kumakain siya ba
Huwag
iwanang
mag-isa si Baby
ay gutom pa
o busog
na?
habang kumakain siya
Kapag naubusan na ng pasensya si
Mommy, pwedeng tumulong si
Daddy sa pagbigay ng pagkain kay
Baby
Suckling is a precursor to chewing,
chewing is a precursor to talking.

Isara ang TV
Isara ang TV sa oras ng pagkain.
Ilapag ang pagkain sa mesa at hindi sa

harap ng TV.
Huwag hayaang kumain ang mga bata sa
harap ng TV. Hindi namamalayan ang
pagkaing sobra at maramihan na maaring
magdulot ng katabaan.
Lantad ang mga bata sa mga
nagpapanggap na nakatutuwang patalastas
na nagbebenta ng mga pagkaing may
maganda ngang kulay at itsura pero wala

Pamimili ng pagkain:
gawain ng magulang
Ang mga magulang ang bumibili at

nagdedesisyon kung:
anong pagkain ang mayroon sa bahay
kung ano ang ihahanda at ipapakain sa
pamilya at anak
Hindi dapat asahan ang bata sa pansariling
desisyon:
hindi nila alam ang pagpili ng tama at sapat
na pagkain
huwag tanungin kung ano ang gusto nilang
kainin

Panahon ng kasiyahan
dapat ang panahon sa
hapagkainan
Tandaan:
Ipakain kung ano ang nakahanda sa hapag-

kainan sa masaya at panatag na paraan.

Purihin ang bata at aliwin ng kwento habang
sabay kumain
Huwag na huwag:
Piliting kumain ang bata. Lalong konti ang
kainin nila kumpara sa mga batang may
malayang magdesisyon sa pagpili ng pagkain at
sa dami nito
Himukin o magmakaawa kapag konti lang ang

Oras ng pagkain, oras ng

pamilya
Maging masiyahin at huwag masyadong

mahigpit, dahil maaring magkakaroon ng

problema sa pagpapakain kay Baby.
Magbigay ng mahabang oras ang pamilya sa
oras ng pagkain.
Dapat walang TV sa harap ng hapag-kainan
upang mas gumanda ang usapang pamilya.
Oras ng pamilya ang oras ng pagkain; hindi
oras para magbasa o maglabas ng sama ng
loob. Hindi rin makipagtalo o makipag-away.

Oras ng pagkain, oras ng

pamilya
Gawing pagkakataon ang oras

ng pagkain upang
makipakwentuhan.
Magandang pagkakataon ito
upang makatikim ng panibagong
pagkain si Baby.
Sa paglikha ng isang malugod na
paligid, ginagawang kaaya-aya
at masaya ang oras ng pakain.
Kailangan ba ni Baby ng special
furnitures?

Gaano kadaming
pagkain

Konti at Madalas na
Pagpapakain
Habang nagiging malikot si Baby,

kailangan niyang kumain nang mas

madalas para mapunan ang
kailangan niyang lakas at enerhiya
Hindi niya kailangang kumain nang
maramihan ngunit kailangan siyang
pakainin ng mayat maya.
Bigyan si Baby ng pakonti-konting
pagkain. Kung hihingi pa siya,
bigyan
pa siya

Konti at Madalas na
Pagpapakain
Maliit pa ang tiyan ni baby

(kasing laki ng bilog na

itlog)
Ibigay ang tamang dami ng
pagkain.
Halimbawa: magbigay ng
dinurog na ulam at mga 5
kutsarita lang ang
nasisimulan niya.
Pagkaraan ng isang oras
nagdaragdag uli ng 5
namang kutsarita.
Gaano kadalas?

Kapag may sakit si

Baby
Kapag nagkasakit o galing sa sakit ang

bata dalasan ang pagpapasuso kaysa

sa nakasanayan.
Ang may sakit na bata ay mahina pa
ang panlasa sa pagkain.
Maging mapasensiya at matyagain sa
paghikayat ng pagkain hanggang
bumalik sa kanyang dating timbang at
sigla.

Siguraduhing malinis ang

pagkain
Ang karagdagang pagkain ay kailangang

malinis at hindi kontaminado.

Maghugas ng kamay bago ihanda ang
pagkain ni Baby at bago pakainin si Baby.
Gumamit ng sabon at tubig sa paghugas ng
kamay.
Tiyaking malinis ang mga
lalagyan ng pagkain,
kutsara, tinidor at baso.
Tiyaking malinis ang
pagkain.

PANTOMIME MUM

Ano ang wastong

pagkain

Ang karagdagang pagkain

ay dapat...
angkop sa edad ng Baby o Bata
mayaman sa sustansiya
madaling ihanda
matatagpuan sa paligid
mabibili sa palengke o talipapa
abot kaya ng pamilya
nagbibigay lakas ng katawan at pag-

uunlad ng kaisipan

Angkop sa edad
Ayon sa growth curve, nagsisimulang

bumagal ang pagbigat ng bata pagkatapos ng

anim na buwan.
Iba-ba ang mga babies: ang iba masigasig

pagkain: saging, kamote o
papaya
Ibagay ang dami, texture at
pamamaraan ng pagpapakain
sa edad ni Baby.

Malabnaw o malapot?
Magkaiba ang taglay na

sustansiya ng malabnaw o
malapot na pagkain sa
kinakailangangang lakas ni
Baby.
Mahalaga kay Baby ang
pagkaing masustansya at
malapot dahil sa enerhiya
na kinakailangan para sa
pag-unlad ng utak at
katawan.

Ano ang kahalagahan ng

Food consistency and

texture

Food consistency and

texture

BABAL
Huwag ilagay ang
A:
malalabnaw na pagkain
sa bote
Hindi nakakatulong kay
Baby sa pagtanggap at
pagtikim ng pagkain ang
paglalagay ng malalabnaw
na pagkain sa loob ng bote.
Delikado ring masobrahan
ng pagkain si Baby.
Baka siya maimpatso, di
matunawan at di makatulog
sa gabi.

Natural, Sariwa at
Tubo sa Kapaligiran
Mahalaga ang sari-saring

pagkain na natural, sariwa, tubo

sa kapaligiran, ligtas at hindi
kontaminado.
Indigenous foods ang unang
pagkain ni Baby.
Ang mga sitsiryang pagkain at
softdrinks ay delikado sa
kalusugan ng sanggol o bata
dahil puno ito ng sobrang alat,
tamis at pampalasang artipisyal
na kemikal na baka mapinsala
ang maselang atay, apdo at
bato.

Natural, Sariwa at
Tubo sa Kapaligiran
Ang Karagdagang

Pagkain mula sa
katutubong pagkain ay
angkop sa klima, kultura
at kapaligiran.
Ito ay pinakaakma sa

pangangailangan ni Baby
sa paglaki ng kanyang
katawan at pag-unlad.

Dr. Kesslers The End of Overeating:
The combination of the intake of high concentrations of sugar,
grease and salt produce a similar addiction to cocaine: the
same pleasure circuit gets triggered
The combination makes individuals eat compulsibly which
interferes satiety centers and induces poor variety in the diet
In animal studies: continuous feeding of sugar and removal
thereof -- similar withdrawal sympthoms as with addictions:
shivering, headaches, teeth crashing
The high intake of sugar produces an imbalance between
extracelular domapine and acetylcholine similar as when there
