6Water is Important to Kidney Functioning

When you introduce solid foods, begin giving your baby a little water after andbetween meals. It will help his kidneys dilute the more concentrated waste productsof solid foods.

7Does my baby need any water?- Not until six months of age. about 4 to 6 ounces of water a day is adequate.- The only reason that we recommend using distilled bottled water to prepare formula is to ensure

your infant doesnt gettoo much fluoride.

8Mastering New Skill

i. Baby may tongue thrust his cereal out of his mouth

ii. If you experience a strong resistance from your baby toward aparticular food, consider suspending its introduction for

a few weeks then try again.

9Check for Allergic Reactions

i. One basic rule of introducing solids is to begin with one item at time, waiting 3 to 5 days to see ifyour baby develops an allergic reaction.

ii. NEVER introduce multiple foodsources at the same time.

10Getting Started with Rice Cereal

i. DO NOT be overly alarmed if your baby loses interest in eating before you think he should.ii. If you see him :-

- turning his head away from the spoon- thrusting food out of his mouth- or begins to cry

iii. We would encourage you to consider eventually introducing allthree cereals over the course of a couple of months.DO NOT introduce wheat cereal without consulting yourpediatrician.

11Combining Breastfeeding and Solids

Once start adding solids to babys diet i. gradually decrease from 32 ounces a day to about 24 ouncesii.should receive at least 20 ounces of milk per day alongside a varied diet until he is a year old.

...


- not a sign that he doesntlike his food

- but rather that he doesntknow what to do with it.

It may take a dozen attemptsbefore the child willinglyaccepts your food selection.

Otherwise, you will not know whichfood caused the allergic reaction.

Then mealtime is over.You can return to breastfeeding or offer therest of his bottle of formula.

Types of Cereals:-- Rice cereal- Oat cereal- Barley cereal

12How to Begin

Day 1 : 1 tablespoon cereal + 4 tablespoons liquid Times: One meal

Day 3 : 3 tablespoons cereal + adequate liquid Times: Twice a day

Day 4 : 4 tablespoons cereal + adequate liquid Times: Twice a dayDay 5 up to 2 weeks: cup cereal per mealApproximately 59ml Times: 3 times a day

Parents Note:Please stay on Day 1 or Day 2, the total amount of tablespoons of cereal if baby is not yet ready toproceed to the next stage, to accept thicker cereal as instructed in Day 3 and up. Until baby is ready,then gradually go for thicker mixture instruction as mentioned from Day 3 and up.

NOTE:

i. Although you will be making changes to the amount of the cereal / liquid combination, keep theconsistency the same.

ii. suggest you continue at least 1 serving a day up through the first year.

13The Consistency of the First Solid Food is Not !

i. Your babys first food after breast milk or formula should be more liquid than solid. It should beso liquid that it pours off the spoon.

NEVER add salt and sugar.

37Get Ready
