What are some conservative suggestions for the CP population with help in feeding ?
recommendations for feeding positions, appropriate chairs, textures, temperatures, consistencies (e.g. thickening agents), adapted utensils, etc. May improve efficiency
Why not adult formulas?
Calorie/nutrient ratio inadequate for children Designed to meet micronutrient reqs if intake of 1500 kcal Iron, Ca, PO4, Vitamin deficiency

Wt/Ht often used, goals vary vt age/function: < 3 y/o: Wt/Length ~25-50%ile Older child, ~N activity: Wt/Ht ~50%ile Older child, independent transfers, wheelchair bound: Wt/Ht ~ 25%ile Older child, bedridden: Wt/Ht ~10%ile
CPS STATEMENT ON NUTRITION: WHAT WOULD OVO-VEGETARATION CHILD/ADOLSCENT BE MISSING ? WHAT SHOULD YOU BE COUNSELLING ?
-Never assume soy milk is adequate substitute in stem unless says its fortified (Fortified has Ca, Vit D, Vit B12) -Soy products also contain linolenic acid (precursor for EPA/DHA), more usable protein and more concentrated energy -Fermented soy products contain zinc Eggs: Vit B12, LCFA w-3FA (EPA/DHA) Green leafy: Vit A, Calcium COUNSEL Lacto-ovo-vegetarians can obtain B12 from dairy products and eggs if consumed regularly [7]. Breast milk of strict vegan mothers can be low in B12 ; therefore, their infants should be supplemented [43]. Strictly vegan pregnant women should ensure adequate intake or supplementation of vitamin B12 , vitamin D, iron, folic acid, linolenic acid and calcium (BII).
What are the a) hematological findings of B12 deficiency ? b)clinical findings of B12 deficiency ?
1)macrocytosis (before anemia), hypersegmented neutrophils 2)Clinical - Pallor,skin hyperpigmentation fatigue, ftt, n/v/ neurological: deve delay, seizures,
What are the main dietary sources of Vitamin B12? Which peds patients are at particular risk? How long does it take to become B12 deficient on basis of deficient diet (presuming adequate stores to begin with)
1) Animal products 2) infant of vegan mothers breast feeding 3) several years
B12 is absorbed in convereted to the r complex due to the ___ in the stomach. Then requires ____ ____ in the si to absorb
