"Feeding the baby" - behind this phrase there is a whole science and experience of generations. The period of feeding is undoubtedly one of the most exciting, but at the same time the most worrying for any mother. What, when, how often are just some of the questions that excite every young mother?
Mother's milk is the best food and protection for the newborn. During the first few weeks after birth, the baby needs to nurse very often because the newborn's stomach is very small and cannot absorb large amounts of breast milk so that it is full for long periods of time.
Here are 2 approaches of supervised and on-demand breastfeeding. In the past, most "baby experts" often recommended that parents feed their babies at regular intervals of 3 or 4 hours. During the first 10 days of a newborn's life, the daily amount of food is = 2% of body weight x number of days of the child's life. In the first - second month, the food should be 500-600 ml. By the third month, the amount reaches 800 ml, at the end of the fourth - 900 ml, and from the fifth to the twelfth it is 1000 ml / day. The total volume of food taken per day is divided by the number of meals - for healthy full-term children after 3 months - 6 meals/day, and after the introduction of complementary foods they become 5 When breastfeeding becomes regular, a schedule and routine for breastfeeding is built , comfortable for both mother and baby. Today, official medical recommendations have shifted in favor of letting babies decide for themselves or so-called "Breastfeeding on Demand". In this approach, the mother responds to the baby's signs of hunger. The opening of the mouth, the smacking of the lips, the pawing of the fingers are considered to be a signal, especially in very small babies. Breastfeeding on demand means forgetting about the clock and fully trusting the child's instincts and needs. When a baby is breastfed on demand, there is no way to go hungry or be overfed.
A baby's digestive system and the organs involved in digesting food mature between 4 and 6 months of age. They are fully formed only around the second year of the child's life. Therefore, early feeding or the inclusion of inappropriate foods can lead to serious disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract.
Feeding is one of the most important processes for children's health. It represents the inclusion of foods other than breast milk (or infant formula), as well as the order and manner of introduction of foods. The feeding process is usually started with products that are non-allergenic and easy to digest. One of the questions that most confuses and disturbs mothers is: with which foods to start feeding?
Studies in recent years claim that feeding fruit purees can cause steel disorders, due to the fermentation of fruits in the stomach of babies, so they recommend starting the feeding with vegetables. The introduction of vegetables is the recommended first food, because they contain more fiber, the carbohydrates in them are more easily digestible.
The first purees should be one-component and contain one type of vegetable – potato, carrot and pumpkin are some of the most suitable vegetables. For infants, the first porridge must be gluten-free, so it must be rice, corn, buckwheat or millet with added milk that the child is fed (breast or formula). Although a useful protein with high nutritional value, gluten is the most difficult protein to digest and every mother should approach its introduction very carefully. The introduction of gluten-free cereals should precede the introduction of gluten-containing cereals. Meat and yolk, in most standard feeding schemes, are among the last foods to be included on the menu.
