Nurses should encourage and teach parents about an appropriate
feeding method before delivery date
Human milk is the most desirable complete diet for the infant during
the first 6 months

The normal infant receiving breast milk from a well-nourished mother
usually requires no specific vitamin and mineral supplements
Daily supplements of vitamin D and vitamin B12 may be indicated if
the mother's intake of these vitamins is inadequate

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations:
• All infants (including those exclusively breastfed) receive a daily
supplement of 400 IU of vitamin D beginning in the first 2 months of
life to prevent rickets and vitamin D deficiency
The First 6 Months
![Page 7: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Fluoride supplementation is not required for exclusively breast fed
infant in the first 6 months unless mothers water supply does not
contain required amount of fluoridation
The First 6 Months
![Page 8: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Iron supplementation to exclusively breast-fed infants after 4 to 6
months should be given to:
• Compensate the decrease in iron available in human milk at this time
• Enhance erythropoiesis
The First 6 Months
![Page 9: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Employed mothers can continue breast-feeding with guidance and
encouragement .
• Pumping milk away from home may be needed every 3 to 4 hours to
maintain adequate supply.
The First 6 Months
![Page 10: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Breast milk expressed by hand or pump (manual or electric) should be
stored in an appropriate air-tight glass or plastic container..
• Expressed breast milk may be stored in the refrigerator (4 c) without
danger of bacterial contamination for up to 5 days, and may be frozen (0
F{-18c}or lower) for up to 6 months
The First 6 Months
![Page 11: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Mothers need child care by a trusted individual or agency and support and
assistance from significant others.
• Maternal fatigue is considered the biggest threat to successful breast-feeding in
employed mothers
• Employed women must have proper nutrition and rest for adequate lactation.
The First 6 Months
![Page 12: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Human milk or formula continues to be the primary source of nutrition
• Fluoride supplementation should begin, depending on the infant's intake of
fluoride
• If breast-feeding is discontinued, a commercial iron-fortified formula should be
substituted.
The First 6 Months
![Page 13: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Commercial iron-fortified formula is an acceptable alternative to breast-
feeding
It supplies all of the nutrients needed by the infant for the first 6 months.
The First 6 Months
![Page 14: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• low-fat cow's milk, skim milk, other animal milks are not acceptable as a
major source of nutrition for infants because of:
* Poor digestibility
* An increased risk of contamination
*A lack of components needed for appropriate growth such as
essential fatty acids
The First 6 Months
![Page 15: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The First 6 Months
• Pasteurized whole cows milk should not be given before 12 month of
age for the following reasons:
• It lack of iron, zinc, and vitamin C
• It has a high renal solute load (AAP, 2014)
![Page 16: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The First 6 Months
• The number of feedings per day vary among infants
• Infants on demand feeding usually determine their own feeding schedule
• Infants may need a more planned schedule based on average feeding
patterns to ensure sufficient nutrients.
![Page 17: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The First 6 Months
Developmentally, infants are not ready for solid food before 4 to 6 months of age for
the following reasons:
• The extrusion (protrusion) reflex is strong and causes food to be pushed out of the mouth.
• Solid foods are not compatible with the ability of the gastrointestinal tract and nutritional needs
of the infant.
![Page 18: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The First 6 Months
Developmentally, infants are not ready for solid food before 4 to 6 months of age for the following reasons:
• It increases the risk of developing food protein allergy.
• Their limited motor ability make infants to be unable to deliberately avoid
food which may lead to excessive weigh gain
![Page 19: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The First 6 Months
EBP
• Food known to be allergenic such as eggs, fish, peanuts, and seafood
should not be introduced before 9 month of age according to the child
risk of atopy (hypersensitivity) (Heinrich, Koletzko,& Koletzko, 2014)
![Page 20: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The First 6 Months
Non nutritive drinks such as fruit-flavored drinks or carbonated beverages (eg., soda) should be avoided because THEY:
• Do not provide sufficient intake of calories for infant younger than 12 months old
• May replace the nutrients in breast milk or formula milk and lead to growth and health problems
![Page 21: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

By this time, physiological and developmental readiness includes:
• The gastrointestinal tract has matured sufficiently to handle more complex
nutrients and is less sensitive to potentially allergenic foods.
• Tooth eruption is beginning and facilitates biting and chewing
• Swallowing is more coordinated to allow the infant to accept solids easily.
The Second 6 Months
![Page 23: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Second 6 Months
• Head control is well developed, which permits infants to sit with support
• Voluntary grasping and improved eye-hand coordination gradually allow
infants to pick up finger foods and feed themselves
• Increase sense of independence is evident in their desire
to try to "help" during feeding or to hold the bottle.
![Page 24: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Second 6 Months
• Human milk or formula continues to be
the primary source of nutrition
• The major change in feeding habits is
the addition of solid foods to the infant's
diet

Introduction of Solid Foods
• See Family Centered Care Table Page 321
• Introduce solid when infant is hungry.
• Begin spoon feeding by pushing food to back of
tongue because of infant's natural tendency to thrust
tongue forward.

• One food item is introduced at intervals of 4 to 7 days to allow for
identification of food allergies
• New foods are fed in small amounts, from 1 teaspoon to a few tablespoons.
• As the amount of solid food increases, the quantity of milk is decreased to less
than 1 L daily to prevent overfeeding
Introduction of Solid Foods

Selection and Preparation of Solid Foods
Iron-fortified infant cereal is generally introduced
first because of its high iron content
Rice is usually suggested as an initial food
because of its easy digestibility and low
allergenic potential

Selection and Preparation of Solid Foods
Commercial cereals are combined with fruit (not
used) for the following reasons:
• Lack of nutritional benefit from these preparations
• They are more expensive
• Risk of developing allergy

New foods should be added one at a time
Infant cereal (iron fortified) is mixed with formula until whole milk is
given.
If the infant is breast-fed, the cereal is mixed with expressed breast milk or
water.

After 6 months of age:
Fruit juices can be mixed with the dry cereal (the vitamin C content of the juice
enhances the absorption of iron in the cereal).
Infant cereals should be continued until the child is 18 months of age, because
of their benefit as a source of iron

• Fruit juice can be offered from a cup for its rich source of vitamin C and as a
substitute for milk for one feeding a day
• White grape juice is reported to be well absorbed and safe for infants without
causing gastrointestinal distress

Selection and Preparation of Solid Foods
AAP (2014) recommended that:
• Juices not be given to infants less than 4 to 6 months old
• Juices is not warmed, because vitamin C is naturally destroyed by heat
• Juice containers are always kept covered and refrigerated to prevent vitamin
loss.
![Page 34: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• A common sequence is to introduce fruits followed by vegetables and, finally, meats
Some clinicians prefer to add vegetables before fruit.
• Citrus fruits, meats, and eggs are delayed until after 6 months of age because of potential allergy.

• The process of giving up one method of feeding for another
• Its usually refers to relinquishing the breast or bottle for a cup
• There is no one time for weaning that is best for every child, but generally
most infants show signs of readiness during the second half of the first
year
• The nighttime feeding is usually the last feeding to be discontinued
Weaning
![Page 40: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Infant have learned that good things come from a spoon.
• Imitation becomes a powerful motivator by age 8 or 9 months, and they enjoy
using a cup or glass like others do
• It is advisable never to begin allowing a child to take a bottle of milk to bed—this
is a major cause of nursing caries in deciduous teeth
Weaning
![Page 41: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• If breast-feeding is terminated before 5 or 6 months of age, weaning should be to a bottle to provide for the infant's continued sucking needs
• If discontinued later, weaning can be directly to a cup, especially by age 12 to 14 months.
• Any sweet liquid, such as fruit juice, should be given in a cup
Weaning

•Most infants are naturally active and need no encouragement to be mobile
The total daily sleep is approximately
• By 2 months: 15 hours
• By 6-12 months: 13 hours
• By 12 months: Most infants have developed a nocturnal (night-time) pattern of
sleep that lasts at least 8 hours

Sleep and Activity
• Breast-fed infants usually sleep for less
prolonged periods, with more frequent
waking, especially during the night, than do
formula-fed infants.

Practices that increase the risk for poor dental health which include:
• Giving milk bottle in the bed
• Giving fruit juice in a bottle (especially before 6 months of age)
• This practices may cause enamel erosion المينا تآكل
and childhood caries

Dental Health
As the primary teeth erupt, good dental hygiene begins as soon.
The teeth and gums are initially cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth; tooth brushing is too harsh for the tender gingiva.
![Page 49: Promoting Optimal Health during Infancy](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051013/6276b65bc3da212682052799/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• Oral hygiene can be made pleasant by singing or talking to the infant
• Its recommended that the infant has an oral health examination by 6 months of age from a qualified pediatric health practitioner.
