Infant feeding guide
1979
Abstract: Nutrition information and feeding guidelines are presented as a handy reference for parents of infants and toddlers. Breastfeeding is discussed, including maternal nutrition requirements, feeding schedules, and the use of non-food substances such as medicines or alcohol. Various commercial infant formulas are described as well as equipment, preparation, storage, and feeding techniques. The introduction of solid foods, beginning with cereals, is recommended at about age 5 months. Good nutrition and eating habits at this point in life are discussed. Other topics include making baby food at home, weaning the infant, nutritional content of various foods, and the toddler's food habits. Feeding during illness covers clear and soft diets, and how to feed during periods of fever, vomiting or diarrhea. (cj).
