 "As children start getting older it is often difficult to encourage
Summary of Proper infant nutrition þBreast milk until 6 months of age. þIntroduce only one new food at a time and no more than one new food every 2 days; closely follow the suggestions in Table 3.1. þGive very small amounts of any new food: one or two teaspoonsful. þUse a very thin consistency when starting solid foods. Introduce foods that are gradually more solid as the infant learns how to use his or her tongue to propel the food back. þNever force an infant to eat more of a food than he or she takes willingly."- Michael T.

 "It was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the International Formula Council (a trade group that represents formula manufacturers) and carried out under the auspices of the Fomon infant nutrition Unit at the University of Iowa. The Fomon infant nutrition Unit receives support from the major formula manufacturers Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories, Nestle and Mead Johnson Nutritionals. As Dr. Joseph Mercola commented in his weekly health ezine, "If you can believe a 'telephone interview' study funded by the baby-formula industry, then maybe you will believe this nonsense."- Kaayla T.

 "This restates their position that breast milk is the foundation of good infant nutrition. They recommend that newborns receive nothing other than breast milk for the first six months, meaning no juices, fluorides, iron, or vitamins.

Q Dr. Ruth Lawrence, author of Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession, says that, depending on the mother's wishes, breast-feeding should continue for at least a year, along with other foods as they are introduced, and even longer if the mother feels it is best for her and her child."- Phyllis A.

 "Gerber's. My files are packed with symposium reports, surveys, and articles from leading professional journals describing inadequacies in infant diets, problems of childhood obesity, and the complications of feeding guidelines—all sponsored by Gerber and all hinting that many nutritional problems can be solved if babies were just fed Gerber baby foods.
THE ORGANIC ALTERNATIVES
To date, the most effective method for baby-food makers to add value and charge more is to make the foods organic, which is why you can find organic options available in many stores (although by no means all)."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
| "Nutrition knowledge has grown since the days of pap and panada, and infant nutrition is now a science unto itself. Although the science ofi infant nutrition is much more sophisticated today, the basic challenge remains: develop the best possible human milk substitute for infants who are not breast-fed.
Nutrient Levels in Human Milk Substitutes
Human milk is the standard with which all infant formulas are compared. Consequently, the goal in preparing human milk substitutes is to formulate an acceptable product that is nutritionally as close to human milk as possible (Figure 3)." - Reginald C. Tsang, Nutrition During Infancy: Principles and Practice (Get the book.) |
| "However, researchers at the Fomon infant nutrition Unit at Iowa State University disagree, positing that high levels of added calcium will keep the phytates sufficiently distracted so that some of the zinc can be absorbed.45
CALCIUM AND OTHER MINERALS
Phytates take their toll on other minerals as well, as shown by a study of breastfeeding mothers in the Kathmandu region of Nepal. Although these women took in more copper, similar amounts of zinc, less iron, and less selenium than American lactating women, their stores of copper, zinc, iron and selenium were all markedly lower." - Kaayla T.

"A recent symposium 'New Perspectives in Infant Nutrition' (Renner and Sawatzki 1993) provides ample evidence of the importance of the minor constituents of human milk. According to the authors of the report, at least with cow's milk, the basic components (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals) are very similar to those in human milk and have evolved to perform similar functions (the building of bone, muscle and other tissues and the provision of metabolic energy)." - Kaayla T.

 "Pediatric teas based on protein hydrolysates should be used only if other foreign proteins are also to be used for infant nutrition, generally after 4 months of age. This is a sound precaution when one considers the high of sensitization to foreign protein during the first months of life.
Instead of instant products, teas can be used in the form of coarsely cut leaves or tea-bag teas. It is always best to use teas from reputable manufacturers whose products are constantly tested for compliance with legally prescribed standards."- volker schulz and Rudolf Hansel, Rational Phytotherapy: A Reference Guide for Physicians and Pharmacists (Get the book.) |
 "Scientists are increasingly discovering that a mother's health and nutrition during preconception and pregnancy have a profound effect on the health of the infant, and that patterns of disease in adulthood can be traced to infant nutrition. Optimum nutrition increases fertility, the health of a pregnancy and the chances of having a healthy baby with strong resilience to disease.
Maximizing fertility
One in every four couples suffers from some degree of infertility. For some, this means having fewer children than they want; for many, it means no children at all."- Patrick Holford, The New Optimum Nutrition Bible (Get the book.) |
