Starting Solid Foods

When should solids be introduced? Between 4 and 6 months, although most commonly closer to 6 months. Up to the first 4 to 6 months of an infant’s life, breast milk or formula will provide all their nutritional requirements for growth. At around 6 months, the iron stores that baby gained in utero begin to run low, which is one of the reasons we start solids around this time.

Don’t be tempted to start too early!

Introducing solids too early can be a burden to an underdeveloped digestive system (most babies’ digestive systems remain inadequate up to about 6 months of age), as well as impairing maternal milk supply. Other concerns include increasing the risk of food allergies and exposure to bugs that may lead to diarrhoea and other gastric problems.

Most parents soon realise how convenient milk feeding is (especially if it is your second time around). The tendency to want to delay introducing solids creeps into the minds of many of us, however…

Don’t wait too long

According to research, your baby will not benefit from having solids before 6 months. However, if you leave the introduction of solids too late, you risk undermining your baby’s nutritional status. Iron and zinc levels, in particular, decrease in breast milk as your baby’s demand increases. Other problems include immune challenges and reduced motor development, for example, the skill of chewing.

So how much will baby eat at first?

• It generally takes about a month from the time of the first introduced food for babies to work up to taking more than 10 ml a day (just over 2 teaspoons), and a month and half to be able to consume more than 100 ml a day.
• Babies who were started on solids at a younger age seem to take longer to get to these amounts; hence introducing solids at 6 months appears to shorten the time.

Tips on starting foods

• Foods should be a fine, runny puree and smooth in consistency.
• Introduce foods one at a time, and ensure they don’t include salt, sugar or flavourings of any sort. Maintaining baby’s milk source helps to ensure that any reactions can be attributed to the single food.
• Rotate foods so that you give the same one only once in a 3-5 day period. There’s nothing worse than eating the same thing over and over again. This will also help reduce the risk of food reaction or allergy, and in the unlikely event of a reaction, it may become evident before the end of the day.
• Once a variety of foods has been introduced successfully, make sure you vary them frequently so that baby gains a balanced diet. Variety at this early stage may also help you get through that fussy stage in the toddler years.
• Be persistent. Many studies show that it may take up to 10 opportunities to try a new food before baby accepts it.
• Avocado (mmmm) is a favourite starter because in its fatty acid makeup, it is similar to breast milk. Once you’ve diluted it (watered it down) into a runny paste with breast milk or formula it can be an option that baby will enjoy early on.

Learning to Crawl..

learning to crawl...i read this article written By Shannon McKelden at : http://www.huggies.com.my/BeingAParent/MotorSkill/LearningToCrawl.aspx

Along with all the other milestones of infant growth, there is one that puts babies on the move for the first time - crawling. Where once Baby was immobile, content sitting and exploring what was within his reach, suddenly a whole new world opens up: the world of mobility.

The Purpose of Crawling

Crawling is a precursor to walking, of course, but also primarily a way for infants to begin to explore their environment.

"Crawling helps walking because it allows babies to utilize the muscle groups in their arms, trunk, pelvic girdle and lower legs," says Dr. Ari Brown, pediatrician, mother of two and coauthor of Baby 411 (Windsor Peak, 2006). "Practice builds tone, strength and coordination."

Baby Milestones

From the moment that your baby is born they begin to change. Your baby will continually amaze you as they grow and develop new skills. We take you through some of these changes that happen as they grow from newborn to toddler and provide you with some tips on how you can help them along their way.

When do babies really start to smile, when can I expect my baby to start crawling, when will my baby start to toddle around? Read on here for answers to all of these questions.

Just remember that all babies are individuals and will develop at different rates, the information provided here is just a guide. Your baby will develop at the perfect time for them.

Week 1

Your new baby comes into the world with an amazing set of built-in skills, designed to help her to survive.

Week 2 - 4

In the first month, your baby is busy gaining control of his body.

Week 4 - 8

Now you're beginning to settle into a daily routine with your baby, you'll have a bit of time and energy to watch her acquire skills.

Week 8 - 12

It's an exciting time as your baby approaches the three-month mark. He is spending much more time awake, and he's ready to explore.

Month 3 - 6

Between three and six months, your baby becomes very much her own person. In a parent and baby group, you'll notice the babies.

Month 6 - 9

There are two very distinct strands to your six-to-nine month old's personality.

Month 9 - 12

Nine months is a lovely age. Your baby is mature enough to really respond to you and he makes it quite clear who his 'special people' are.

Month 12 - 15

This is one of the most physically demanding stages your child will go through.

Month 15 - 18

Imitation is the best form of flattery at this age! One of the key ways your toddler learns now is by copying you.

Month 18 - Year 2.5

'Challenging' is a word that comes to mind for many parents when describing their two-year-old...
