Q

what is recommended about moving through the texture of foods with infants

A

move through the stages quickly, if you stay on pureed food to long you could miss critical period

Q

what is responsive feeding ( how should children be feed and what to do if they refuse)

21
Q

signs a baby is full

A
  • pushing or arcing away, pushing food or plate away
  • turning head away or shaking head to communicate ‘no more’
  • spitting out food
  • using words like “all done” or “get down”
  • becoming distracted and more interested in what is going on around them
22
Q

what are the foods first recommendations

A

iron rich and then also vegetables and fruit

23
Q

what are good choices for iron rich first foods

A

cooked pureed meat, chicken and fish

baby rice cereal : iron fortified cereal mixed with water, breast milk or formula

cooked and mashed plant based proteins

24
Q

what are the conflicts on baby rice

A
  • some nutritionists do not recommend baby rice as it is processed
  • unsupported concerns on inadequate salivary amylase
  • unsupported concerns about high arsenic
25
Q

what are the unsupported concerns about inadequate salivary amylase

A

they were worried that the starch would cause GI concerns for the baby, however at 6 months babies have adult level functioning salivary amylase

26
Q

iron deficiency is prevalent in infancy is due to

A

high requirement - high growth rate

iron stores received in utero begin to run low

27
Q

what infants are most at risk of iron deficiency

A
  • low intake of “high iron” foods
  • low birth weight (<2,500g)
  • pre term infants because they do not gain those additional iron stores in the past couples weeks
  • low socioeconomic status / food insecure
28
Q

what are the consequences of iron deficiency for infants

A
  • altered intestinal function
  • impaired cognitive, social and socio-emotional development
29
Q

what are the consequences of iron deficiency anaemia for infants

A
  • fatigue / decreased activity
  • sustained IDA may be associated with irreversible and detrimental effects on intellectual and motor performance
30
Q

prevention of iron deficiency

A
  • food based (foods first) approach
  • unknown risk of iron supplementation for healthy young children
  • however, iron supplementation required for some infants
31
Q

what is the first foods approach (vegetables and fruit)

A
  • provide important nutrients : vitamins, minerals, fibre
  • fresh, washed in clean water, frozen or canned
32
Q

early childhood intakes of vegetables and fruit improves what

A

improves immunity, aids digestion, decreases risk of obesity

33
Q

what is repeated exposure of vegetables important for

A

important for acceptance from the infant as they are used to the sweetness of breastmilk and vegetables are often bitter tasting

34
Q

how many exposures to a food can it take for acceptance

A

8-15 exposures

35
Q

what are ways of exposing children to food

A

see, touch, smell, taste

  • providing the food in different forms may help with exposure
36
Q

what liquids should infants be ok to have

A

only breast milk, formula and water

37
Q

what are the guidelines with preparing foods for infants and why

A

do not add salt, soy sauce, sugar, honey or artificial sweeteners, they have very sensitive taste buds

38
Q

honey should be avoided for what age infants

A

< 12 months

39
Q

why should honey be avoided in infants

A

can cause infant botulism caused by the toxin Clostridium botulinum

40
Q

equipment must be sterilised for infants until what age

A

6 months

41
Q

Home-prepared and commercial infant foods can be kept in a covered container in the fridge for how long

A

up to 48 hours

42
Q

why should a baby never be left alone to eat

A

choking is silent

43
Q

what are the characteristics of gagging

A
  • watering eyes
  • pushing tongue forward out of mouth
  • retching movement to bring food forward
  • may vomit
  • loud / dramatic
44
Q

what are the characteristics of choking

A
  • may cough or gasp as trying to get air
  • may go silent
  • may make a struggling sound or raspy whisper
  • silent
45
Q

what are the foods that you should be aware of that could cause choking

A
  • small hard foods
  • small round foods
  • foods with skins or leaves
  • compressible food
  • thick pastes
  • fibrous or stringy foods
46
Q

what are the main reasons that cows milk should not be given as a drink until infants are older than 12 months

A
  • concentration and bioavailability of iron is low
  • may displace other solid foods, reducing nutrient intake
  • may cause gastrointestinal blood loss
  • high renal solute load
47
Q

what is the issue with cows milk and renal solute load

A

the high mineral concentration compared to human milk is hard on the kidneys and infants have immature kidneys

48
Q

when is cows milk ok for babies

A

when in food,

it just the high concentrations or high doses that cause issues

49
Q

what is the concern with baby food pouches

A

adverse health outcomes (such as decay, obesity, motor development) with pouch “suckling”

50
Q

what are dietitian concerns about baby food pouches

A

the infant cannot see, touch or smell pouch contents (this is important for exposure to foods)

51
Q

what is the nutritional intake of babies who have baby food pouches like

A

nutrient intakes are similar to infants who do not consume baby food pouches, additionally no difference in iron status but slightly higher intakes of total sugars
