Siang Bunda… .. Introduce me Fadhila .. now my mother is confused to adapt my child who is difficult to eat. I have also asked this question to my mother but there has been no change at all, now my child is going to be 9 months old. instead it crossed my mind to feed him milk (pediasure). And what I want to ask is whether it is permissible and does it not affect the digestion, okay?
Mother’s Day,
Children having difficulty eating is indeed one of the problems faced by many parents. Most parents feel worried and it is natural because we know that food is very important for the growth and development of our children. Moms need to know that there are 7 factors that must be considered when it comes to feeding babies and children. That is :
- Age factor. Up to 0-6 months of age, babies only need breast milk for their nutritional needs. Age 6-9 months, breast milk only meets 2/3 of nutritional needs. 1/3 part is obtained from complementary foods. 9-12 months of age, breastfeeding only meets half the nutritional needs of the baby, and another 1/2 from complementary foods. And 12-24 months of age, breast milk only meets 1/3 of the baby’s nutritional needs, and 2/3 of complementary foods.
- Frequency factor (how often it is given)
- Amount factor (how much food is given)
- Texture factor (how thick is it)
- Variation factor (types of food given)
- Cleanliness Factor
- Responsive factor (parents’ sensitivity to children’s diet)
Mother, the things above need to be considered by mothers when feeding their babies. So, because the mother is 9 months old, actually 2/3 of her nutritional needs have been met from breast milk. This means that 1/3 more mothers can try to give food slowly and gradually. Trying various types of food with a variety of shapes and flavors, of course, don’t forget to pay attention to the 7 factors above. Don’t get bored quickly and give up on trying to find a food your little one will like because you have enough time to try it.
I don’t think it’s time to give high nutritious milk, because it’s too early to decide your baby is having trouble eating before making optimal efforts. Give the mother time to get to know various types of food that she has never known, before she can only get food from high nutritious phosphorus.
Good mom, good luck …
