Lecture 5 II Flashcards
What is a reflex?
Automatic réponse triggered by specific stimulus
What is a rooting reflex?
Infant automatically turns head toward the cheek that is touched (assets in the act of breastfeeding)
What is a suckle?
reflex causing tongue to move forward and backward
- present at birth
- causes the child to suck anything that touches the roof of its mouth
What Is motor development t?
Ability to control voluntary muscles
What is top to bottom in motor development?
Controls head first and lower legs last
-start tummy time from first days
What does motor development influence?
Ability to feed self
Amount of energy expended
What are the cues infants may give for feeding readiness?
Watching food being opened
Tight fists or reaching for spoon
Irritation if feeding too slow or stops immediately
Playing with food or spoon (sign of being full)
Slow intake or turning away when full
Stop eating or spit out food when full
What re the impacts that affect cognition?
Sensorimotor development
- discovering relationship between bodies and environment
- Adequate nutrient intake
- social and emotional interaction
- genetics
How does the digestive system start to develop?
Fetus swallows amniotic fluid during the 3rT which stimulates intestinal maturation and growth
What are the common problems that arise due to digestive system development ?
Gastroesophageal reflux
Diarrhea
Constipation
At birth what are infants able to digest?
Fat
Protein
Simple Sugar
What are the characteristics of small infants?
Smaller than fully developed gut More horizontal shape Function is immature cause muscles are weaker [Low] of hydrochloric acid and pepsin Increase emptying time
IS the pancreases fully developed when born?
No its not, there is low secretion as a result of pancreatic enzymes
-results in inefficient digestion of solids
Is the Renal system fully developed when born?
System is immature
Limitide capacity to filter waste and excrete Na
We delay intro to solid until 6 months of age
Food with high solute load causes water lass and dehydration
-when solids introduced offer water regularly
What is the base of infant formula?
Non fat cow milk with and without added whey protein
-20-22kcal/oz (same as breast)
What are the typical daily volumes of formula?
birth to one month: 16-20fl oz
1-2: 18-26
2-3: 22-30
3-4: 24-32
What % make sup the composition of breast vs cow milk?
Breast:
7% Cals from protein
38% Cals from carb
55% Cals from fat
Cow
9-12% cals from protein
41-43% carb
48-50% cals from fat
In order for formulas to have ~50% of their cals from fat what kind of fat do they contain?
Vegetable oils replace animals based fats and include essential fatty acids
IN infant formulas, what is the carb makeup?
lactose
Glucose
Sucrose
Whats the whey:casein protein ratio in breast vs formula vs cow?
Breast: 70:30
Formula: 60:40
Cow: 20:80
What amino acid is added to formulas?
Taurineis added for the integrity of retina
If an infant is high risk what are special formulas for?
Milk intolerance
Prematurity
Inborn errors of metabolism
What happens an infant has a lactose deficiency?
Can be temporary or congenital genetic disorder
Use lactose free formulas that still contain
- casein as a source of protein
- Corn syrup and sucrose as the lactose free carb source
