Right food and nutrition of a baby

Breast milk or formula should be the staple food and source of nutrition for your child during the first two months, but for now should not deal by diet, should establish a regular eating pattern and make sure your child is eating properly, with the amount of calories needed for growth.

The pediatrician will guide and slowly the will recommend the inclusion of foods such as vegetables, fruits, and meats, so that around the year, the child is absolutely all food consumed of the food pyramid.


Signs that your baby is eating too much:

If giving the bottle takes more than that recommended by the pediatrician.
After feeding the baby vomits, most or all ingested.

The stools are too soft, watery stools for more than 8 per day.

Signs that your baby is not eating enough:

Breast-feeding stops and sucking before 10 minutes.

Less than 4 wet diapers a day.

Your skin continues to be wrinkled after the first week of life.

After 3 weeks his face has not even plump.

Seems to be hungry, ended shortly after his milk feed, again looking for food.

It gets more and more yellow rather than less, from the first week.

Allergies or digestive problems:

Vomit constantly after eating food.

It has very watery stools soft stool.

If you get chest keeps getting more yellow yielding instead of going that color.

All these items should be considered as parameters, which does not mean that we poor feeding or feeding our child, nor suffering any type of disease, we simply must check and evacuate all our doubts, when we go to pediatrician, if present, or persist over time.
