Childhood Nutrition
Nutritional requirements
? Aim,To live,to grow and thrive
? the Core of food supply,Balance diet
? Under intake,nutritional deficiency diseases
? Over intake,toxicity or obesity
Classification of nutrients
(2000 Chinese DRIs)
?Energy
?Macronutrients
protein,fat,carbohydrates
?Micronutrients,Minerals,Vitamins
?Other diet’s components
Dietary fiber,water,and others.

Other diet components - water
Loss of water:
? Loss in urine,and in fecal
? Loss from lungs and skin (insensible water loss)
Function
?Soluble fiber
delay GI transit
delay glucose absorption
lower blood cholesterol
?Insoluble fiber
accelerate GI transit
increase fecal weight
slow starch hydrolysis
delay glucose absorption

citrus),oats,
barley,legumes
? Wheat bran,
whole-grain
breads,cereals,
vegetables
?Not available
Other diet components
– dietary fiber
Key issues on Childhood Nutrition
? Calories should be the first item to be
evaluated in assessing a dietary history
? A well-balance diet
? Interaction of carbohydrate,fat and protein
? both energy and protein are insufficiency may
result in malnutrition
Evaluation of Nutrition status
? Clinical examination
Birth history; feeding history,clinic symptom & sign
? Dietary intake investigation
24 hrs inquiring method
? Anthropometric assessment
W/A,H/A,W/H,Growth curve
? Laboratory assessment
Blood sample,urine sample

nutrients
Advantage of breast feeding
? Better nutritional qualities
?Easily digested
? Protein,whey proteins (lactalbumin and lactoglobulins)
account for 2/3
? Fat,unsaturated fatty acids,linoleic acid,rich in lipase
? Lactose,higher concentrations
?Low renal solute load
?Favorable calcium to phosphate ratio
Ensure calcium absorption
?More iron,zinc content
Advantage of breast feeding
? Anti-infective properties
? Secretory Ig A
? Lysozyme (溶菌酶 )
? Phagocytic cells ( 吞噬细胞 )
? Iron-binding protein Lactoferrin ( 乳铁蛋白 )
? Low-polysaccharid
? Zinc
? Vitamin B12
? Bifidus factor ( 双歧因子 )
Advantage of breast feeding
? Psychologic benefit
? Promotes maternal-infant bonding
? Gain a sense of security
? Constitute the foundation for the development of all
human social relationships and communications
? others
? Economy,convenience
? Lack of contamination
Advantage of breast feeding
? Benefit for the mother
? Stimulation,by sucking,of oxytocin secretions,
which fosters uterine contractions and hastens
postpartum uterine involution
? Possible decreased risk of postpartum
thromboembolism (血栓栓塞) and breast cancer
? Emotional satisfaction and sense of fulfillment
Artificial Feeding
?Milk production in
common use
fresh cow’s milk,sheep’s milk,
infant formula,yoghourt,
exhalation milk
? Soya formula,Soya
milk,rice flour
? Feeding schedule
avoid overfeeding
Mixed Feeding
? supple the
inadequate of breast
feeding
? substitute of breast

The introduction of supplementary food
The purpose of supplementary food
? To supply nutrient deficiency of breast milk
? To supply the inadequate of breast milk
? To prepare for weaning
? To train the oral motor function
The rules of supplementary food
?From little to large
?From watery to solid food
?From thin to thick
?From one food to multi-foods
Schedule for introduction
of solid foods
Age Feeding foods
3-4 months Cereals,e.g,baby rice
4-5 months Pureed fruit and vegetables,meat (e.g,chicken)
6-7 months
Able to chew,e.g,rusks
Introduce lumpy foods and variety of
tastes and textures,egg yolk
8-9 months Bread and butter,fruit,egg white
12 months ‘real’ food in small bits
Toddle Feeding
?Caloric needs decrease
?The function of digest has improved
?Providing an adequate diet
?The development of feeding skills,food
habits,and nutrition knowledge
