Nutrient Intake In Fruit For Babies

Nutrient Intake In Fruit For Babies - Fruits are one source of vitamins that are most needed for health. However, the amount of vitamins that our body needs varies by age, for example for the provision of fruits in infants and adults should be adjusted in number.

At this opportunity, I will explain about how the right way in the provision of nutrition for infants.

In my experience, giving fruits to babies should be done at the time of infants aged 8-10 months. This I do because I want to see the baby in the ability to digest fruits. In what ways do I do? I did it by seeing and examining stools. If there is fruit that are still remaining, meaning the baby's digestive system is still not ready to accept fruit.

Many people who give their babies for the fruit pulp, but not for me. The main reason is because the manufacture of fruit puree will reduce the nutrient content of the fruit.

Then if the provision of fruit juice for infants necessary? The answer is yes. Make sure you give fruit juice to babies have been at pasteurization and the amount of nutrients according to the needs of the baby, which is 4-6oz per day.

Below are the things that need to be considered in the provision of fruit juices in infants:

• Do not give fruit juice to babies under 6 months of age
• Do not give sweet juices from a bottle of milk, because it will cause baby's teeth become damaged

Some fruits are not suitable for children under 2 years.
• Orange
• Pineapple
• pomelo
• Durian
• Guava
• Mangosteen
• Pears

That was a little tips that i can say, hopefully this article useful to you.
