healthy eating for infants

For many years, GER [Gastroesophageal reflux] during infancy and childhood was thought to be a consequence of absent or diminished LES tone [lower esophageal sphincter, which is sometimes also referred to as the Cardiac Sphincter due to its proximity to the heart]. However, studies have shown that baseline LES pressures are normal in pediatric patients, even in preterm infants.

WIC is a program that helps pregnant mothers & their babies with getting nutritional food that they need. You go to your appointments & they help you with questions regarding nutrition, breastfeeding & eating healthy. They give vouchers for juices, dairy products, eggs, fruits & veggies, whole grains & cereals. You buy only what the voucher says. Their goal us to have you start eating healthy so that you pass those habits onto your children.

First of all, I apologize if this seems like a silly question - my oldest son (now 4 years old) didn't have yogurt until he was well over a year old. I've been thinking about how to add variety (and extra good fats) to my younger son (8 months nearly 9 months old)'s diet due to the fact that he's a bit on the small side and slow to gain weight - but healthy - and I thought that maybe I could start giving him a bit of yogurt now and then.

Mealtimes can be a battlefield when children do not have an interest to eating healthy or eat very little. It becomes the battle of the wits between the child and the parents. Let them eat what they want. Slowly introduce new foods, and if they do not want it, do not make a fuss over it. Let it go and enjoy the meal. The nutrient dense drinks will give them the nutrition they need to grow. Hope this helped you.

I have a yogurt for breakfast, fruit and nuts for morning snack, salad for lunch, cucumbers and yogurt dip for afternoon snack, and for dinner lean protein and veggies of some sort, and an evening snack of a soda or lemonade and maybe a couple spoons of ice cream (I can't have too much - lactose intolerant) or a couple craxkers with cheese

Dont waste ur money on food that are not healthy and just are for taste.Eat fruits and healthy veggies so body gets enough nutrients for healthy growth.U also need to have strong will power to control.U can also tell ur family to eat healthy.Make sure they also have the knowledge about right eating if in case they r not eating.Weather u have less money or more money always buy healthy foods.Be strict about it. Hope this helps.

Also not big on eating salads also but love eating raw veggies like carrots and celery with ranch. That's all I want to snack on besides fruits.

This did! So I am eating pretty healthily for my snacks because that's basically what I eat, but I really need to start eating healthier dinners, so does my family. I'll check out that website, and I'm continuing my prenatal and basically only drink water, thank you!

Look up "the full plate diet" it's really NOT a diet, but healthy eating. That's what I do, all it is, is a high fiber diet eating lots of whole grains (brown rice, wheat bread, oatmeal) fruits, vegetables and water.

This may be a really silly question, but what are/were your favorite meals to eat while pregnant? I'm having a difficult time planning healthy lunches and dinners that have some variety (I can only eat so much grilled chicken). This is my first pregnancy and I am only six weeks along. I'm worrying I am not eating as healthy as I should be. I'm constantly hungry and looking for some good recommendations.

Eating Healthy diet does not ensure that you will lose weight. Your weight is a balance between the calories you take in and the calories you burn. You will lose weight if you burn off more calories than you take in, and you will gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn off.

I'm 12wks pregnant and I eat healthy every now and again but when i do I make you for all the times I don't.

Wic is completely different program. It's the state making sure that you're eating healthy and that your baby is getting the right stuff.

Good question - all I know is that the caries causing bacteria streptococcus mutans does get passed on, otherwise parents would not be advised not to share eating utensils, food, drinks, toothbrushes with their infants/ toddlers and not to kiss them on the mouth. Infants do get infected that way but the severity differs.
