470885 tn?1326329037 s one of his favorite foods (he is just 9 months now). I was recently at a nutrition and feeding clinic for babies and the nutritionist (she specializes in infant/baby/child nutrition) had no problem with it at all. I have tried the minigos which were fine, but usually just give him the same type I am eating. No problem at all, and as I said, it's probably his favorite food now. BTW..
Avatar n tn There is a higher risk of developing feeding aversion if the infant has been ill for a long time or has not been fed through the mouth for a long time. There are many medical or surgical conditions where feeding through the mouth needs to be avoided for awhile, but improve subsequently so that the infant can feed through the mouth later. Some infants develop feeding aversion because they have a condition that makes it difficult to feed.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn How many months can infants start eating baby food. My son almost 2 months in 2 more weeks ?
Avatar f tn oatmeal for breakfast, whole wheat breads, oatmeal cookies, bran muffins, whole-wheat pasta, and brown rice. Serve fruit and vegetables in any form, raw or cooked. Salads are great if she will eat it. The most important aspect to increased fiber is increasing your fluid intake. Fiber is great for increased bowel movements; however, it needs fluids to get through the colon. Suggest you limit rice, bananas, and fresh apples.
Avatar f tn Whether or not this helps you lose weight is dependent on your individual digestive system and nutritional needs, what else you're eating through the day, how much exercise you're getting, etc. Now, most almond milk products are very high in sugar, so you might want to check that unless you're making your own, and some people don't do well on dairy products like whey, but assuming none of this is a big problem that's a pretty healthful shake for most people.
Avatar f tn Can we just discuss the pros and cons for daycare for infants as early as 6 weeks? Im still uncertain of daycare for my newborn.
Avatar n tn His weight is on the 5th percentile and his height is on the 25th percentile for his age. Since he drinks milk suggest making him milkshakes (milk, fruit, and ice cream blended) in place of milk at all meals for additional calories and protein. You stated he likes cheese, than add cheese to pasta, potatoes, or rice. Some tips for additional calories: If he likes pasta, then add meat or cheese sauces to the pasta instead of plain tomato sauce or plain pasta.
301354 tn?1211810520 All this while its always emphasized to continue breast feeding as long as possible(breast milk contains a huge percentage of all the vital nutrition required per day and so if you have missed any of the nutrition through any of your formula foods/cooked foods it can always be compensated in breast milk) It is true that many foods like dairy products etc can cause allergies but it does not happen in all children. its better to start those product(at least the ones like milk..

Avatar f tn 8. For infants over 1 month old only on breast milk or formula, add fruit juices 1 oz./month of age per day. Pear or apple juice are OK at any age. (Reason: treating a symptom) 9. For infants over 4 months old, also add baby foods with high fiber content twice a day (peas, beans, apricots, prunes, peaches, pears, plums). 10. Diet for Children Over 1 Year Old: 11. Increase fruit juice (apple, pear, cherry, grape, prune) (note: citrus fruit juices are not helpful). 12.
Avatar f tn Do not take zofran its been recalled for causing heart problems for infants! Best thing is small portions nothing spicy and still try to get in those high in nutrition snacks.
793908 tn?1294705109 Thank you so much Sandra, for this post. It will be helpful to anyone who has a pet that needs surgery, yet because of risks (old age, weakness, etc) are putting it off. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too difficult to find a vet who used this gas, if needed. I've downloaded this info. in case I need it in the future. Thanks.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the clarification. Tell you mom to stay away from fad diets and gimmick ads on diabetes. They just don't work. If it sounds too good to be true it's a scam, and hoo-boy there lots of them on the Internet and magazines. What does work is proper nutrition, daily [3-4 times a week] exercise like you're late for a departing plane, and maintaining proper weight. She just needs to work on the latter two. I wish her good health.
Avatar f tn most of them dont unless you already have a child and you have to look for a job and file for child support.. they also pay for daycare when the baby is born...
Avatar f tn It is common for extremely premature infants such as your grandson to have feeding intolerance even at 2 weeks of life. Depending upon the individual baby, feeding can often seem to advance fitfully with many setbacks. This is a reflection of the immature development of the premature intestinal tract, which can take time to achieve full function.
Avatar n tn The physician who saw her (during her first siezure) asked for an EEG and Brain scan to be done. The EEG revealed Siezure Activity while the Brain Scan was normal. He refered us to Dr AV Srinivasan, a Renowned Neuro Physician in Chennai. Dr AVS Confirmed that this was a minor siezure and all would be well and prescribed KEPRA 250mg twice a day. This was on 12th Jan 09. The first dose was given to her on 12th Jan around 11 PM and the following morning my wife had lost her memory.
Avatar f tn It has fake sugers that are not processed by the body and abby needs the good fats not low or no fat. As for citrus babies bellies are new and the gut both belly and intestines are not fully closed till 6-9 months I forget which is the later one. SO protiens and foods pass straight to the blood steam till then. Becasue of that allergies can occur and harsh foods can harm the stomach and make food issues such as constipation, reflux, gas higher rates of diabetes and heart desease.
Avatar m tn I have a history of anorexia and bulimia since I was 14 - in the course of 4 years my weight went down to 40 kg and then up to 68 kg, for a height of 165 cm. In the last 5 years I got back to a relatively normal eating pattern (no more diets or binge eating, obsessive exercise etc.). In the last 2-3 years my weight stabilized at 54-58 kg. In the past few months, I started eating less than usual - not as a diet, but mainly because of a busy schedule and getting home late.
2000931 tn?1401563007 I guess I'm now up to four cents worth, Some healthy discussion here and more than a few laughs thanks to the super SuperMum and the one with the golden Guitar. I love the 'regular as a goose' quote. Yes, I am happy to say you may be right about diet, but I'm hoping you're wrong about a holistic program to stop the progression of MS.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Are you looking for general nutrition info or does your shepherd have a medical issue? You might contact the German Shepherd Dog Club of America for specific dietary needs for Shepherds. Don't forget your vet as a resource either. There are many excellent commercial foods available nowadays - I'm partial to Royal Canin - so don't reject them out of hand simply because they are mass produced.
