Self-care For minor infections that haven't spread to other areas, try the following: Soak the affected areas of skin with a vinegar solution — 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 pint of water — for 20 minutes. This makes it easier to gently remove the scabs. After washing the area, apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment three or four times daily. Wash the skin before each application, and pat it dry. Avoid scratching or touching the sores as much as possible until they heal. Applying a nonstick dressing to the infected area can help keep impetigo from spreading. WHAT IS IMPETIGO? It is a bacterial infection of the skin that can occur just about anywhere, but is most common around the mouth and nose or on the buttocks and arms. Impetigo may or may not itch. Scratching spreads the eruptions. Mild impetigo is often caused by streptococcus or staphylococcus. It occurs when the skin gets raw and irritated from scratching, runny nose, or excessive drooling. The bacteria may invade any area where the top protective layer of skin is broken down by an injury or irritation. Picking the skin around the nose or picking a pimple is an invitation for bacteria to come in and set up an infection. WHAT DOES IMPETIGO LOOK LIKE? It begins as tiny red spots, (resembling picked-at pimples) which become blisters that rupture and produce an oozing, sticky honey-colored crust on the surface. The spots are circular and may be as small as a dime or as large as a quarter. Impetigo is particularly common around the entrance to the nose, where the skin around the nostrils appears raw and reddened with a yellow crust. IS IMPETIGO CONTAGIOUS? Impetigo is not as contagious as it's sometimes made out to be. You do not have to treat your child like a leper if he has impetigo. It can be transmitted by touching the eruptions, so it is important to tell your child not to touch the rash. Although, it's common to find impetigo in several family members at once, it is rarely necessary to keep the child with impetigo out of school. HOW IS IMPETIGO TREATED? For impetigo that seems mild and is just beginning, follow these steps three times a day: Cut your child's fingernails to help prevent trauma to the skin from scratching. Wash the infected area with warm soapy water. Apply some diluted hydrogen peroxide (mix ½ water with ½ peroxide). Wash off the peroxide after two minutes. Apply any over-the-counter antibiotic ointment such as polysporin. It may take one or two days for the infection to improve on this regimen. As long as it does not worsen then you should be fine. If the infection continues to worsen despite the above treatment, then proceed with the following steps three times a day: Wash with warm soapy water. Apply a hot washcloth to the area for 10 minutes (this will improve blood flow to the area and help the body fight the infection). Apply diluted hydrogen peroxide, than wash off after two minutes. Apply 10% diluted Betadine solution (mix 1 tablespoon of this over-the-counter brownish red antiseptic with 10 tablespoons of water) and let it dry for two minutes. Thoroughly wash off all Betadine. Apply a prescription antibiotic ointment called Bactroban. Your doctor may call in this prescription for you. It may take one or two days for this treatment to start to improve the infection, but it should not keep getting worse during this treatment. WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL THE DOCTOR? If you need the prescription ointment Bactroban, call or see your doctor. This generally would not warrant an urgent page to the doctor. If your doctor's office does not open for another day or two, then a call to your doctor for the ointment is probably warranted. More serious infection. If the redness and drainage continue to worsen despite all the above treatment, or your child develops fevers or red streaks extending out from the area, then you should see your doctor right away. If it is after hours, you should page your doctor. Your child may need oral antibiotics to help fight the infection. HOW DO I PREVENT IMPETIGO FROM HAPPENING AGAIN? Prevent chapped lips. If your child is prone to dry, cracked lips, then routinely apply Vaseline lip therapy or Lansinoh to the lips (a Lanolin ointment is available in the diaper cream section of your local drug store). Treat sore noses during a cold. Apply Vaseline or Lansinoh to the irritated, cracked skin around the nose during a cold. Heal irritated patches around the mouth. If your child gets raw, irritated patches around the mouth, apply Vaseline or Lansinoh to heal it.

昨天媽咪去看鄰近另一所蒙特梭利學校後 今天決定要幫山大妞排兩歲上學的學校 這間不是蒙特梭利學校 學校就在家的山腳下 從兩歲可以上到國中 開車還滿近的 媽咪喜歡這所學校的原因是 1. 因為學校提供所有孩子有機營養午餐 午餐都是學校的廚房每天現做 很多蔬果還是學校附屬的果園和菜園種的 不管是上半天還是全天 孩子都會留在學校吃過午餐 2. 這邊的老師都是雙語教學 每個老師都會另外一種不同語言 而且老師們都在學校待超過十年以上 3. 而且這學校就在山谷間 離家裡很近 今天山大王和媽咪一起去幫妹妹看這個學校 4.這個學校的裝飾很文化藝術 又很重視植物動物與孩子共處 山大王很好奇到處看 看得出來山大王很喜歡教室的佈置 自己興沖沖地去逛每個教室 學校事務辦公室鄰近的是大禮堂 大禮堂是舊教堂改建 但是牆上的壁畫挑高的建築 還是讓人覺得很有歐洲的感覺 禮堂旁還有一隻叫Expresso的白襪黑貓 教室雖小但是很溫馨 每個教室都很有自己的特色 孩子的椅子排列不像蒙特梭利很獨立 而是並行或像圓桌會議那樣 看過蒙特梭利學校 再看這個學校 感覺這裡的孩子應該受文化和自然的薰陶長大的 除了有farm school之外 還有petting zoo:孔雀,雞,白鵝,兔子,和山雉 鄰近印地安式帳棚裡上的是體操 一間彩繪玻璃門窗後 是一群上吉他課的孩子和老師一起彈唱 山大王就站在窗戶外看得著迷呢 菜圃旁我們看到琵琶,桃子蘋果果實壘壘等的果樹; 還有草莓南瓜,玉米,朝鮮薊等 花園小徑通向不同的小教室 山大王學校比較重視真實世界的學習 (迪士尼或童話的書不可帶去學校分享) 而這個學校鼓勵孩子由自然裡啟發想像 cottage style的花徑有許多動物石雕 小小的泥地廣場 大孩子們在展示給朋友看如何採高蹺及翻跟斗 附近好些托兒所或是蒙特梭利學校鄰近的是商家 雖然學校要按電子鎖密碼才進得去 但是媽咪很不喜歡那樣學習的環境 這裡孩子遊戲的地方鄰近的不是馬路車流 球也不會滾到陌生人那 孩子的教室不是一排排像補習班那樣分散在小小走道間 5. 而是分散座落各處花園 遊戲的地方很多大樹果樹和花木 也有一個獨立的圖書館 更有座橋連結小溪分隔的停車場和教室 有一點像森林小學的感覺 不過學校對有興趣的家長 要求要繳$250才可以排隊等上學 $250不退款 孩子要滿兩歲且如廁訓練完全結束一個月後 排到位子才可以去入學 總之最重要的是 6. 媽咪覺得山大妞在這裡應該會"玩"的很開心

FW:過敏是肥大細胞不穩定的現象

不論是在急性期或緩解期，以下方法都是自然醫學醫師(Natuoapthic Physician)用來治療過敏症狀或逆轉過敏體質的有效療法: 1. 用天然植物性的抗過敏藥物，使肥大細胞安定下來。例如，尤佳利樹萃取物、生物類黃酮、天然維他命C。 2. 用針灸調整局部與全身性的自主神經失衡現象。 3. 使用植物性抗氧化劑，以中和體內過多自由基，穩定細胞膜。 4. 避免食用一切氧化與氫化的油脂，長期適量補充富含Ω3必需脂肪酸的油脂。 5. 提高睡眠品質，使身體的腎上腺能得到足夠的休息，因為精神飽滿的腎上腺會分泌天然的皮質酮，使體內的發炎或過敏現象消退。 6. 避免劇烈運動，因為突然劇烈運動會擾亂自主神經的平衡，自主神經失衡時會透過神經傳導物質，激發肥大細胞，導致它分泌發炎物質。須多從事緩和的身心運動，例如瑜珈、八段錦、太極拳。 7. 常保愉快的心情，許多小孩甚至大人的過敏，是在壓力過大與心理創傷的情況下誘發出來，因為心理變化也會直接影響自主神經的平衡。 Natural Therapies Used by Naturopathic Physicians Include: Clinical Nutrition: Nutrition and the therapeutic use of foods have always been a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine. A growing body of evidence now validates the naturopathic concept of using foods and nutritional supplements to treat or manage a wide range of conditions. N.D.'s receive over 140 classroom hours in clinical nutrition. Homeopathy: Over 200 years old, this powerful system of medicine is widely used and accepted in many other countries. The British and Dutch Royal families employ physicians specializing in homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies act to strengthen the innate healing of the individual, and seldom have side effects. Brought to the US in 1825 by doctors who had studied in Europe, by 1900 there were 22 colleges of Homeopathic medicine, including a department at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. The sale and preparation of Homeopathic remedies has been regulated by the FDA since 1938. Modern research has shown Homeopathic remedies to be effective, with research articles printed in the British Journal of Pharmacology, The Lancet and Pediatrics. Botanical Medicine (Phytotherapy or Herbal Therapy): Naturopathic physicians receive extensive training in this area and often blend their own formulas, or even prepare their own extracts. Research in the German E Commission Monograph has verified the use of plants as powerful healing substances which are safe and effective when used knowledgeably. Scientific research in Asia and Europe has shown that some herbal preparations are at times clinically superior to synthetic drugs. Physical Medicine: Techniques used by N.D.'s include, but are not limited to, applications of heat and cold, diathermy, ultrasound, hydrotherapy, exercise therapy, and Naturopathic Manipulative Technique (NMT). Oriental Medicine: Naturopathic physicians are trained in the fundamentals of Oriental medicine and methods of diagnosis. Many incorporate acupuncture, acupressure and oriental botanical medicine their practice. Counseling and Stress Management: N.D.'s are trained in a number of psychological techniques, including biofeedback, hypnotherapy, counseling, nutritional balancing, abreactive therapy and other methods Minor Surgery: All Naturopathic physicians are required to complete classroom and clinic work in the surgical removal of foreign bodies, cysts and other superficial masses, and superficial wound repair, using local anesthesia.

FW: STARTING SOLID FOODS --NUTRITIP: Favorite First Foods

2007年01月31日

STARTING SOLID FOODS I've heard that it's better to start vegetables before fruits. Is this true? Purists recommend that vegetables be introduced before fruits so that infants don't learn to expect that food should always taste sweet. This is one of those nutritional directives that sound great in theory, but many of us who have fed lots of babies have found it hard to put into practice. First of all, babies are born with a sweet tooth. Their tiny tongues are more richly supplied with sweet tastebuds than with any others. This makes sense, because human milk is sweet, and breastfed babies are less likely to willingly accept the bland taste of vegetables than formula-fed babies. While there is no doubt that vegetables are nutritionally superior to fruits, most parents find that babies will happily eat fruits, making them hassle-free first foods. The nutritional content of starter foods is of secondary importance; the main goal of these early solid food feedings is for the baby to learn how to swallow foods of different textures. You're likely to have more success with fruits than with vegetables. When introducing veggies, try the sweet ones first: carrots and sweet potatoes. If you have a baby who loves vegetables, good for you! Don't worry if your baby attacks veggies with less enthusiasm than fruit. He'll eventually learn to like them if you keep offering them NUTRITIP: Favorite First Foods rice cereal peaches barley cereal applesauce bananas carrots pears squash avocados sweet potatoes My baby enjoys rice cereal and bananas. What foods should I feed her next? Work your way from soupy to lumpy as you also increase how often and how much baby eats. At first, you'll offer food only once a day; but within a few months, you'll be feeding solids whenever you sit down to a meal. Babies differ so much in their preferences and their readiness for solids that it's difficult to make hard and fast rules about the consistency, amount, and type of solid foods to offer. But here are some suggestions from our family and our pediatric practice for babies from five to eight months. Bananas. Because of their sweetness and smooth consistency, ripe bananas closely resemble mother's milk, which makes them an ideal starter food. They are one of the few fruits that can be served uncooked. Let the banana get very ripe before serving it to baby (the skin should be covered with brown spots). After peeling, cut and mash it with a fork, and serve it either straight or mixed with formula or breastmilk for a more soupy consistency. Bananas are a great quick meal for parents and babies on the go -- mash a few slices and eat the rest yourself. Cereal. Begin with rice or barley cereal, the least allergenic. Don't serve a mixed cereal until you've tried each of the ingredients separately to be sure baby is not allergic to any of them. Rice is approximately 75 percent carbohydrates and seven percent protein. High protein cereals, made primarily with soybeans, may contain as much as 35 percent protein. Cereals made especially for infants are fortified with minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, along with B-vitamins and iron. Begin with one- fourth teaspoon of cereal and advance to a tablespoon, and so on. Mix it with breastmilk or formula to the desired consistency. Cereal alone is very bland and may be refused by your baby. Once you know your baby is not allergic to different fruits and cereals, you can experiment by combining various fruits with cereal in various consistencies. Cereals are often suggested as a way to fill baby up, lengthening the interval between feedings, and even sleeping longer at night. This "filler fallacy" is an unwise feeding pattern. Cereal is not nearly as nutritious as breastmilk or formula. Besides, this practice rarely works. Pears. Pears are easy to digest and have a mild flavor perfect for babies. As with all fruits, they are mostly carbohydrates and a good source of potassium and vitamins A and C. Try pear sauce instead of applesauce. Applesauce. Applesauce is an ideal first fruit. It is low in citric acid, which can cause an allergic reaction in some infants. Cook the pared and peeled apples with two tablespoons of water over medium heat until tender. Blend or whip until smooth. Applesauce can be combined with a variety of foods, including cereal or as a "sauce" to disguise less-palatable, but more nutritious, foods. Uncooked apples are difficult for babies to gum and chew under one year of age, and they are a choking hazard. Carrots. Cooked carrots are a very good source of vitamin A and beta carotene, and as mom always said, carrots improve night vision. Peel, slice, and steam carrots until tender without spices, salt, sugar, or butter. Small blobs of mashed, cooked carrots are usually well-accepted and enjoyed by babies. Bite-size cooked carrots or a pile of steamed, grated carrots are good finger foods beginning at eight months. Avoid raw carrots, which can cause choking. Sweet potatoes and winter squash. Babies enjoy sweet potatoes and winter squash for their flavor, texture, and color. They are both high in beta carotene. Sweet potatoes contain vitamin B- 6, which helps the body use carbohydrates, protein, and fat needed for healthy skin, nerves, and circulation. Winter squash supplies potassium and other nutrients. Carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash can all be cooked quickly in the microwave, with minimum nutrient loss. Sweet potatoes are like convenience foods in the microwave: wash, cook for seven or eight minutes, open and serve. You don't even need a plate. Be sure to stir the warm potato and test for "hot spots," since microwaved food may heat unevenly. Wash and peel sweet potatoes before cooking in a small amount of water, or steam over a medium-heat until tender. Puree with a small amount of liquid. For variety, mix sweet potatoes with peas, carrots, or squash. Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, and bake it. Or, you can peel it and steam the halves. Blend until smooth and add water to reach the desired consistency. Avocados. Avocados are, in our opinion, an ideal food for babies. The avocado's smooth, creamy consistency makes it a fresh fruit even a baby can enjoy. Low in sodium and cholesterol-free, avocados contain such valuable nutrients as vitamin A, vitamin B-6, folic acid, niacin, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. Ounce-for-ounce avocados contain more potassium than 45 other fruits, juices, or vegetables, including bananas, peaches, carrots, and green beans, and they are one of the only fruits that contain monounsaturated fats, which are essential for your baby's development. Avocados are higher in calories than any other fruit or vegetable. This is a plus for babies, since feeding infants calls for nutrient-dense foods , foods that contain a lot of nutrition per unit of weight and volume. Ripe avocados can be served without any cooking; a time-saver for mom and dad. To prepare, cut in half around the entire circumference of the seed. Grab a half in each hand and twist to remove the seed. Scoop out the meat inside and mash with a fork, or simply spoon-feed directly from the shell. For variety, avocados can be mixed with apple or pear sauce, cooked squash, or sweet potatoes. One of the reasons why avocados are one of the Sears' favorite foods for babies, infants, and children is their versatility. You can do so much with them, as can babies. Avocados can be spread, scooped, mashed, and made into guacamole for children (avocado dip without the strong spices). WHY WAIT? 6 REASONS Gone are the days when pressured mothers stuffed globs of cereal into the tight mouths of reluctant six-week-olds. Nowadays parents feed their baby on the timetable that is developmentally and nutritionally correct -- as determined by their baby. Don't be in a rush to start solids. Here are some good reasons for waiting. 1. Baby's intestines need to mature. The intestines are the body's filtering system, screening out potentially harmful substances and letting in healthy nutrients. In the early months, this filtering system is immature. Between four and seven months a baby's intestinal lining goes through a developmental growth spurt called closure, meaning the intestinal lining becomes more selective about what to let through. To prevent potentially-allergenic foods from entering the bloodstream, the maturing intestines secrete IgA , a protein immunoglobulin that acts like a protective paint, coating the intestines and preventing the passage of harmful allergens. In the early months, infant IgA production is low (although there is lots of IgA in human milk), and it is easier for potentially-allergenic food molecules to enter the baby's system. Once food molecules are in the blood, the immune system may produce antibodies to that food, creating a food allergy . By six to seven months of age the intestines are more mature and able to filter out more of the offending allergens. This is why it's particularly important to delay solids if there is a family history of food allergy, and especially to delay the introduction of foods to which other family members are allergic. 2. Young babies have a tongue-thrust reflex . In the first four months the tongue thrust reflex protects the infant against choking. When any unusual substance is placed on the tongue, it automatically protrudes outward rather than back. Between four and six months this reflex gradually diminishes, giving the glob of cereal a fighting chance of making it from the tongue to the tummy. Not only is the mouth-end of baby's digestive tract not ready for early solids, neither is the lower end. 3. Baby's swallowing mechanism is immature. Another reason not to rush solids is that the tongue and the swallowing mechanisms may not yet be ready to work together. Give a spoonful of food to an infant less than four months, and she will move it around randomly in her mouth, pushing some of it back into the pharynx where it is swallowed, some of it into the large spaces between the cheeks and gums, and some forward between the lips and out onto her chin. Between four and six months of age, most infants develop the ability to move the food from the front of the mouth to the back instead of letting it wallow around in the mouth and get spit out. Prior to four months of age, a baby's swallowing mechanism is designed to work with sucking, but not with chewing. 4. Baby needs to be able to sit up. In the early months, babies associate feeding with cuddling. Feeding is an intimate interaction, and babies often associate the feeding ritual with falling asleep in arms or at the breast. The change from a soft, warm breast to a cold, hard spoon may not be welcomed with an open mouth. Feeding solid foods is a less intimate and more mechanical way of delivering food. It requires baby to sit up in a highchair – a skill which most babies develop between five and seven months. Holding a breastfed baby in the usual breastfeeding position may not be the best way to start introducing solids, as your baby expects to be breastfed and clicks into a "what's wrong with this picture?" mode of food rejection. 5. Young infants are not equipped to chew. Teeth seldom appear until six or seven months, giving further evidence that the young infant is designed to suck rather than to chew. In the pre-teething stage, between four and six months, babies tend to drool, and the drool that you are always wiping off baby's face is rich in enzymes, which will help digest the solid foods that are soon to come. 6. Older babies like to imitate caregivers. Around six months of age, babies like to imitate what they see. They see you spear a veggie and enjoy chewing it. They want to grab a fork and do likewise. How will I know when my baby is ready for solids? As with all aspects of parenting, watch your child and not the calendar. Besides the developmental milestones above, watch for these ready-to-eat cues in your baby: Able to sit with support, reaches and grabs, and mouths hands and toys Watches you eat, following your fork as it moves from plate to mouth "Mooches," reaching for food on your plate Mimicks your eating behaviors, such as opening her mouth wide when you open your mouth to eat. Grabbing your spoon is not a reliable sign of feeding readiness, since baby may be more interested in the noise, shape, and feel of your utensils rather than the food stuff on them. Baby can show and tell. Around six months of age babies have the ability to say "yes" to wanting food by reaching or leaning toward the food and "no" by pushing or turning away. Expect mixed messages as your baby learns to communicate. When in doubt, offer, but don't force. Does baby seem hungry for additional food? If your baby is content with breastmilk or formula, no need to complicate his life with solids. If, on the other hand, your baby seems unsatisfied after a feeding, is shortening the intervals between feedings, and several days of more frequent feedings don't change this, it may be time to begin. I'm not sure if my baby is ready. Should I try offering solids anyway?Is your baby both ready and willing to try solid foods? Here's how to tell. If your baby eagerly opens his mouth when he sees a spoonful of food coming toward him, he is probably both ready and willing. If he turns away, he's not. Or, give him a spoon to play with to see if it quickly ends up in his mouth. (Feeding tip: use plastic spoons with smooth, rounded edges. They do not get too cold or hot, and they are quiet when banged or dropped.) Remember, your immediate goal is to introduce your baby to solid foods, not fill him up on solids. Milk feedings will continue to be a major part of his diet for the next several months. Gradually introduce baby to a different texture, taste, and way of swallowing. Overwhelming your child with big globs of too many new foods all at once invites rejection. At this point, solids are add-ons, not substitutes for the breast or bottle. However, if you have a six- to nine-month-old formula-fed baby who is taking forty ounces a day, you may consider substituting a solid food feeding for a bottle. Which foods are best to begin with? Begin with foods that are not likely to cause allergies and that are most like the milk baby is used to. If your baby is used to the sweet taste of human milk, start with mashed bananas. If baby is used to the more bland flavor of formula, try rice cereal mixed with formula (or with your milk if your breastfed baby prefers rice cereal to bananas). Rice is the most intestinal-friendly grain because it is gluten-free, low in protein, and high in carbohydrates. It has a nutritional profile more like a fruit than a grain. Mix the cereal to a soupy consistency and lessen the amount on milk or formula you add as baby gets better at eating. How do I start? Use your finger as baby's first "spoon." It's soft, at the right temperature, and baby is familiar with it. Encourage baby to open her mouth wide. Place a fingertipful of this glorious glob on baby's lips while letting her suck on the tip of your finger. Next, advance the fingertipful of food to the tip of your baby's tongue (where there are tastebuds receptive to sweetness). If this gets swallowed, or at least is not spit back at you, try placing the next glob toward the middle of baby's tongue. Watch baby's reaction to this new experience. If the food goes in with an approving smile, baby is ready and willing. If the food comes back at you, accompanied by a disapproving grimace, baby may not be ready. Some babies make funny faces just because this is all so new to them. What happens in the mouth may be a more accurate indicator of whether a baby is ready to eat solids. If the mouth opens for a second helping, give it another try – you may have a winner. Even if the food comes back out, the baby may just need to learn to seal his mouth shut when he moves the food from the front to the back. Rejection of the food could also indicate that the tongue-thrust reflex is not yet gone, and baby can't move the food to the back of his mouth and swallow it. If your baby just sits there, with an open mouth, confused by the glob of food perched on her tongue, she's probably having difficulty with the tongue-thrust reflex. Let her practice a while. If she still doesn't seem to know what to do, wait a week or two before you try again. NUTRITIP: First Spoon We advise that baby's first "spoon" be your finger. It is soft, at the right temperature, and by this stage baby is very familiar with its feel. Your finger also knows if food is too hot. Few babies like to begin their feeding life with a silver spoon in their mouth. Metal holds the heat in, so baby has to wait longer for each bite as you cool the hot food by blowing on it. A hungry baby finds this infuriating! A coated demitasse spoon is a good starter utensil. Plastic spoons with smooth, rounded edges are best – and quietest when banged or dropped. Use shatterproof plastic bowls that can survive battering on the high-chair tray and numerous tumbles to the floor. How much food should I offer? If your baby eagerly accepts the first fingertipful of food, offer a little more the next time. At these first feedings, baby may actually swallow only a teaspoon or two of food. Gradually increase the amount you give baby until you are offering a quarter-cup or more at a time. Remember, your initial goal is to introduce your baby to the new tastes and textures of solid foods, not to stuff baby. As with all areas of development, babies take two steps forward and one step back. Expect erratic eating patterns. Baby may take a couple tablespoons one day and only a teaspoon the next. Baby may devour pears and refuse bananas one day, then the next day ignore the pears and gobble down the banana. That's all part of the feeding game. Relax and realize that you can't control your child's every mouthful. Don't force-feed a baby. Know when enough is enough. (Your baby knows.) Observe stop signs: Baby purses lips, closes mouth, and turns head away from approaching spoon. Baby leans away from the advancing spoon, uninterested or wanting to avoid the food entirely. Leaning toward the food or grabbing the spoon or hand of the feeder indicates a desire for more. NUTRITIP: Milk Plus Consider solid foods an addition to, not a substitute for, breastmilk or formula, which are more nutritionally balanced than any solid food. This food fact is especially important for breastfeeding babies. For a breastfeeding baby, it's best to start solids slowly, so that they don't become a substitute for the more nutritious breastmilk. Also, solids fed at an early age can interrupt the supply-and-demand cycle, resulting in decreased milk production. What time of the day is best for feeding solid foods? Offer new foods in the morning. If by some chance your baby is allergic to a particular food, the intestinal upset should wear off by the end of the day. Beginning a new food in the evening runs the risk of painful nightwaking. Otherwise, offer solids at the time of the day when your baby seems hungriest, is bored, or you both need a snack and something interesting to do. Mornings are usually the time when babies are hungriest and in the best mood for social interactions, including feeding. If breastfeeding, try offering solid foods toward the end of the day, when your milk supply is likely to be the lowest and baby will be more eager to eat. Feed baby solids between breastfeedings, not right after, since solid foods may interfere with the absorption of some of the nutrients in breastmilk. Choose a time of the day when you are not in a hurry, since dawdling, dabbling, spewing, spattering, smearing, and dropping are all part of the feeding game. Forget fast-feeding. Remember, meals are both a food-delivery system and a social experience. Take your time, and enjoy this new nutritional stage. NUTRITIP: Don't Sweat the Small Feedings Take it from the Sears family: Relax and have fun with this new stage. By four months of age babies are very astute at reading parents' facial expressions. If you're anxious about getting solid food into your baby, expect baby also to be anxious. Approach the feeding game as just another social interaction that you will both enjoy.
