15/01/ Nutritional needs of the Neonate Lab 3
Feeding the Infant Good nutrition is essential for the growth and development that occurs during an infant’s first year of life. When developing infants are fed, the appropriate types and amounts of foods, their health is promoted. Early nutrition affects later development, and early feedings establish eating habits that influence nutrition throughout life. 10/28/

Why Is Breast Milk So Good for Babies? 10/28/
Why Is Breast Milk So Good for Babies? Breastfeeding is a natural extension of pregnancy – the mother’s body continues to nourish the infant. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) and American Association of Pediatrics recognize exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, and breastfeeding with complementary foods for at least 12 months, as an optimal feeding pattern for infants.
Breast milk is more easily and completely digested than infant formula, so breastfed infants usually need to eat more frequently than formula-fed infants do. During the first few weeks, the newborn will need approximately 8 to 12 feedings a day, on demand. As the infant gets older, there are longer intervals between feedings. 10/28/
During the first two or three days of lactation, the breasts produce colostrum, a premilk substance containing antibodies and white cells from the mother’s blood. 10/28/ Immune Factors in Breast Milk
Breastfed infants may have: Less allergies Lower blood cholesterol Less ear and respiratory infections May protect against obesity in childhood and later years. May have a positive effect on later intelligence. 28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 م28/10/ :57 مNewborn Assessment116
Infant formulas are designed to resemble breast milk. Special formulas are available for premature infants, allergic infants, and others. 10/28/ Formula Feeding
10/28/ Complementary feeding practices Different reasons to start complementary food can be highlighted: Breast milk is not enough in quantity: this is the main reason for the huge majority of the mothers. Breast milk is not sufficient to cover the infant’s nutritional needs for growing. The mother has to go to work, so the child must be partially weaned.
