While it is common knowledge that omega-3’s are important healthy fatty acids to include in children’s diets for overall health and brain development. Did you know that fat (yes, even saturated fat) and cholesterol are not something you need to be concerned about limiting in your child’s diet under the age of two years? Current dietary guidelines for Americans recommend fat to be unrestricted in the first two years of life.  Eating healthy for most children doesn’t mean following adult goals for cutting back on total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, particularly for children younger than 2 years. - American Academy of Pediatrics  Lipids are considered the most important energy source in the infant diet and are necessary for normal growth and physical activity. Human milk, in which most of the energy is present as fat, provides a relatively high cholesterol intake as well. Mother’s milk and infant formula supply 40–50% of their energy as fat. PMID: 2973471  Approximately 85% of fats in breast milk are saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids - the rest are polyunsaturated. Saturated fats are found in abundance in human breast milk. This is why most infant formulas are made with palm oil which is 50% saturated fat. Their role is to provide energy and immunity and to serve as building blocks, as well as assisting the hormonal system and the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.  Correct development of the nervous system, retina and other structures depend on an adequate supply of these fatty acids during intrauterine development and in the newborn and infant stages.

Top reel of 2024 ❤️👏🏻 My favorite homemade chicken “nugget” recipe. I don’t know if I am allowed to call it a chicken nugget recipe if it doesn’t have breading but these are delish as they are and my kids love them.  Ingredients: 1 lb. ground chicken 1 cup almond flour  2 tbsp. Ketchup (I prefer true made ketchup for no added sugar and low sodium) Optional: seasonings of choice. I used a tap each of garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and black pepper.  Recipe: Preheat oven to 350 Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly Spray silicone mini muffin tin Scoop 1 tbsp. Portions into each muffin tin  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 Enjoy!  #fyp #blw #babyledweaning #babyledwean #babyfeedingtips #babyfoods #babyfoodie #blwrecipe #blwmeal #babydietitian #pediatricdietitian
TOP 4 POST OF 2024 ✨ Exclusively breastfed babies (0-6 months old) do not need additional water.  The World Health Organization (WHO) notes that babies that are breastfed don’t need additional water, as breast milk is over 80 percent water and provides the fluids your baby needs! Even in the first few days after birth before mom’s milk has “come in”, colostrum is all that is needed to keep the baby well hydrated (assuming baby is nursing effectively).⁣ You may notice your infant requiring more nursing sessions if prolonged time is spent in the heat. I highly recommend offering more nursing sessions if you have any concerns with less than optimal fluid intake, or if you see decreased wet diaper output.  Again, if you have any concerns about your child being dehydrated, reach out to your pediatrician immediately. Small amounts of water when starting solids at 6 months can be provided with meals. This can help with clearing the mouth if baby overstuffs or with pacing the feeding. No more than 4-8 ounces of water should be provided a day from the age of 6-12 months.  Water can be provided in an open cup or straw cup at mealtimes which helps promote oral motor skills.  For 6 to 12-month-olds, offering a small amount of plain water (4-8 ounces total per day) in an open, sippy, or strawed cup is recommended.12 This drinking water is not intended to replace any amount of breast milk or infant formula, and practically speaking, it is unlikely that much of this drinking water will be ingested as many infants 6 to 12-months-old are still developing cup-drinking skills. This practice is suggested to help familiarize the infant with plain water    Source: Lott M, Callahan E, Welker Duffy E, Story M, Daniels S.

To my desperate mothers 😱When I tell you I had terrible sleepers, trust me—both of my kiddos were awful! But with the help of sleep training and this magic purée, we’re finally able to get some sleep. Here’s what you’ll need↙️ 1–2 oz of warmed breastmilk or formula (around 98°F) Oat cereal (enough to make a creamy paste, roughly 2 tbsp or more) i used organic oats cereal by @holle.usa you can use which ever your prefer Less than half of a banana I give this purée 30 minutes before bedtime, followed by 5 ounces of breastmilk, and off he goes to sleep. The other night, my baby slept through the night, and we couldn’t believe it! The first time in 10 months—all  I did differently was give him this cereal, so we tried it again—and it worked👀 #sleeplessbaby #babyfood #babycereal #sleepdeprived #motherhood #breastmilk #babyfoods #exclusivelypumping #breastfeed #bananaoatcereal #babyfoodsideas #babyfoodrecipe
Moms- Did you do purées, baby lead weaning, or a mix of the two? Most of my friends with kiddos fell somewhere in the middle.  I did download the app Solid Starts (not sponsored) from the recommendation of my cousin and some friends. Definitely a great app to have for reference as you navigate solids. :) #MomsofTikTok #newmom #firsttimemom #breakfasttimewithbaby #babyfoods #babyledweaning #babypurees #momthoughts
Balanced Meal for Baby! 👏🏻⭐️ When creating a balanced meal for a baby I aim to focus on three types of foods. ✅High-iron foods. If you have been following me for even a little bit, you know that adequate iron intake is a major goal when introducing solid foods to prevent iron deficiency. Providing a high iron food with every meal is recommended. Examples of high iron foods are beans, lentils, animal based products, sardines, eggs, tofu, etc.  ✅Vitamin C containing food. These foods tag team the high iron foods and aid in iron absorption. Most all fruits and veggies contain vitamin C and are also important for babies to be consuming for their vitamin and antioxidant content. Other vitamin C food sources are oranges, grapefruit, grapes, berries, collards, cantaloupe, raspberries, etc.  ✅Energy-Dense/Healthy Fat Food. We know that every bite counts when starting solids so choose a food option that contains tons of healthy fats and calories to help meet their nutritional needs. Fats are also recommended to be unrestricted for the first two years of life to aid in brain development! Examples of energy dense and healthy fat foods - avocado, sardines, cheese, olive oil, avocado oil, animal products, eggs, etc.  👉🏻Remember that some of these foods may overlap and meet both the high iron and the energy dense food requirement!  Use this simple method to create a balanced meal for your little one! But don’t worry if your little one isn’t always eating a balanced meal.  #blw #babyledweaning #babyledfeeding #foodforbaby #babynutritionist #infantnutritionist #infantnutrition #pediatricdietitian #dietitianforbaby #babyfoods #fyp #viral  #CapCut
