Toddler Food

Nutrition Through Variety

Babies grow at a lightning pace — 3 inches or so every 3 months. A toddler, in contrast, grows at a much slower rate — only 3-5 inches in an entire year.

While growth slows somewhat, nutrition remains a top priority. It's also a time for parents to shift gears, leaving bottles behind and moving into a new era where kids will eat and drink more independently.

The toddler years are a time of transition, especially between 12-24 months, when they're learning to eat table food and accepting new tastes and textures. Breast milk and formula provided adequate nutrition for your child as an infant, but now it's time for toddlers to start getting what they need through a variety of foods.

How Much Food Do They Need?

Depending on their age, size, and activity level, toddlers need about 1,000-1,400 calories a day. Refer to the chart below to get an idea of how much your child should be eating and what kinds of foods would satisfy the requirements.

Use the chart as a guide, but trust your own judgment and a toddler's cues to tell if he or she is satisfied and getting adequate nutrition. Nutrition is all about averages so don't panic if you don't hit every mark every day — just strive to provide a wide variety of nutrients in your child's diet.

The amounts provided are based on the MyPlate food guide for the average 2- and 3-year-old. For kids between 12 and 24 months, the 2-year-old recommendations can serve as a guide, but during this year toddler diets are still in transition.

Talk with your doctor about specifics for your child. And younger toddlers may not be eating this much — at least at first. When a range of amounts is given, the higher amount applies to kids who are older, bigger, or more active and need more calories.

Food Group	Daily Amount for 2-Year-Olds	Daily Amount for 3-Year-Olds	Help With Servings
Grains	3 ounces, half from whole-grain sources	4-5 ounces, half from whole-grain sources	One ounce equals: 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or ½ cup of cooked rice, cooked pasta, or cooked cereal.
Vegetables	1 cup	1½ cups	Use measuring cups to check amounts. Serve veggies that are soft, cut in small pieces, and well cooked to prevent choking.
Fruits	1 cup	1 cup	Use measuring cups to check amounts. An 8- to 9-inch banana equals 1 cup.
Milk	2 cups	2 cups	One cup equals: 1 cup of milk or yogurt, 1½ ounces of natural cheese, or 2 ounces of processed cheese.
Meat & Beans	2 ounces	3-4 ounces	One ounce equals: 1 ounce of meat, poultry or fish, ¼ cup cooked dry beans, or 1 egg.

Milk Matters

An important part of a toddler's diet, milk provides calcium and vitamin D to help build strong bones. Toddlers should have 700 milligrams of calcium and 600 IU (International units) vitamin D (which aids in calcium absorption) a day.

The calcium requirement is met if your child gets the recommended two servings of dairy foods every day, but this amount provides less than half of the vitamin D requirement. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends vitamin D supplementation of 400 IU per day if a child is drinking less than one liter (about 4 cups) of milk a day.

In general, kids ages 12 to 24 months should drink whole milk to help provide the dietary fats they need for normal growth and brain development. If overweight or obesity is a concern, or if there is a family history of obesity, high cholesterol, of heart disease talk to your doctor to see if reduced fat (2%) milk may be given. After age 2, most kids can switch to low-fat (1%) or non-fat milk. Your doctor will help you decide which kind of milk to serve your toddler.

Some kids may initially reject cow's milk because it doesn't taste like the familiar breast milk or formula. If your child is at least 12 months and having this difficulty, mix whole milk with some formula or breast milk. Gradually adjust the mixture over time so it becomes 100% cow's milk.

Some kids don't like milk or are unable to drink or eat dairy products. Explore other calcium sources, such as calcium-fortified soy beverages, calcium-fortified juices, fortified breads and cereals, cooked dried beans, and dark green vegetables like broccoli, bok choy, and kale.

Meeting Iron Requirements

Toddlers should have 7 milligrams of iron each day. After 12 months of age, they're at risk for iron deficiency because they no longer drink iron-fortified formula and may not be eating iron-fortified infant cereal or enough other iron-containing foods to make up the difference.

Cow's milk is low in iron. Drinking a lot of cow's milk also can put a child at risk of developing iron deficiency. Toddlers who drink a lot of cow's milk may be less hungry and less likely to eat iron-rich foods. Milk decreases the absorption of iron and can also irritate the lining of the intestine, causing small amounts of bleeding and the gradual loss of iron in the stool.

Iron deficiency can affect growth and may lead to learning and behavioral problems. And it can progress to anemia (a decreased number of red blood cells in the body). Iron is needed to make red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. Without enough iron and red blood cells, the body's tissues and organs get less oxygen and don't function as well.

To help prevent iron deficiency:

• Limit your child's milk intake to about 16-24 ounces a day.
• Serve more iron-rich foods (meat, poultry, fish, enriched grains, beans, tofu).
• When serving iron-rich meals, include foods that contain vitamin C (tomatoes, broccoli, oranges, and strawberries), which improve the body's iron absorption.
• Continue serving iron-fortified cereal until your child is 18-24 months of age.

Talk to your doctor if you're concerned that your child isn't eating a balanced diet. Many toddlers are checked for iron-deficiency anemia, but never give your child a vitamin or mineral supplement without first discussing it with your doctor.

Healthy Eating

Whether you have a toddler or a teen, here are five of the best strategies to improve nutrition and encourage smart eating habits:

1. Have regular family meals.
2. Serve a variety of healthy foods and snacks.
3. Be a role model by eating healthy yourself.
4. Avoid battles over food.
5. Involve kids in the process.

But it's not easy when everyone is juggling busy schedules and convenience food, such as fast food, is so readily available.

Here are some ways to incorporate all five strategies into your routine.

Family Meals

Family meals are a comforting ritual for both parents and kids. Children like the predictability of family meals and parents get a chance to catch up with their kids. Kids who take part in regular family meals are also:

• more likely to eat fruits, vegetables, and grains
• less likely to snack on unhealthy foods
• less likely to smoke, use marijuana, or drink alcohol

In addition, family meals offer the chance to introduce kids to new foods and to act as a role model for healthy eating.

Teens may turn up their noses at the prospect of a family meal — not surprising because they're busy and want to be more independent. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents' advice and counsel, so use mealtime as a chance to reconnect.

Also, consider trying these strategies:

• Allow your teen to invite a friend to dinner.
• Involve your teen in meal planning and preparation.
• Keep mealtime calm and congenial — no lectures or arguing.

What counts as a family meal? Any time you and your family eat together — whether it's takeout food or a home-cooked meal with all the trimmings. Strive for nutritious food and a time when everyone can be there. This may mean eating dinner a little later to accommodate a child who's at sports practice. It can also mean setting aside time on the weekends, such as Sunday brunch, when it may be more convenient to gather as a group.

Stocking Up on Healthy Foods

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what's available at home. That's why it's important to control the supply lines — the foods that you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks.

Follow these basic guidelines:

• Work fruits and vegetables into the daily routine, aiming for the goal of at least five servings a day. Be sure you serve fruit or vegetables at every meal.
• Make it easy for kids to choose healthy snacks by keeping fruits and vegetables on hand and ready to eat. Other good snacks include low-fat yogurt, peanut butter and celery, or whole-grain crackers and cheese.
• Serve lean meats and other good sources of protein, such as fish, eggs, beans, and nuts.
• Choose whole-grain breads and cereals so kids get morefiber.
• Limit fat intake by avoiding fried foods and choosing healthier cooking methods, such as broiling, grilling, roasting, and steaming. Choose low-fat or nonfat dairy products.
• Limit fast food and low-nutrient snacks, such as chips and candy. But don't completely ban favorite snacks from your home. Instead, make them "once-in-a-while" foods, so kids don't feel deprived.
• Limit sugary drinks, such as soda and fruit-flavored drinks. Serve water and low-fat milk instead.

How to Be a Role Model

The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and not overindulging in the less nutritious stuff, you'll be sending the right message.

Another way to be a good role model is to serve appropriateportions and not overeat. Talk about your feelings of fullness, especially with younger children. You might say, "This is delicious, but I'm full, so I'm going to stop eating." Similarly, parents who are always dieting or complaining about their bodies may foster these same negative feelings in their kids. Try to keep a positive approach about food.

Don't Battle Over Food

It's easy for food to become a source of conflict. Well-intentioned parents might find themselves bargaining or bribing kids so they eat the healthy food in front of them. A better strategy is to give kids some control, but to also limit the kind of foods available at home.

Kids should decide if they're hungry, what they will eat from the foods served, and when they're full. Parents control which foods are available to the child, both at mealtime and between meals. Here are some guidelines to follow:

• Establish a predictable schedule of meals and snacks. It's OK to choose not to eat when both parents and kids know when to expect the next meal or snack.
• Don't force kids to clean their plates. Doing so teaches kids to override feelings of fullness.
• Don't bribe or reward kids with food. Avoid using dessert as the prize for eating the meal.
• Don't use food as a way of showing love. When you want to show love, give kids a hug, some of your time, or praise.

Get Kids Involved

Most kids will enjoy deciding what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. Some might even want to help shop for ingredients and prepare the meal. At the store, teach kids to check out food labels to begin understanding what to look for.

In the kitchen, select age-appropriate tasks so kids can play a part without getting injured or feeling overwhelmed. And at the end of the meal, don't forget to praise the chef.

School lunches can be another learning lesson for kids. More important, if you can get them thinking about what they eat for lunch, you might be able to help them make positive changes. Brainstorm about what kinds of foods they'd like for lunch or go to the grocery store to shop together for healthy, packable foods.

There's another important reason why kids should be involved: It can help prepare them to make good decisions on their own about the foods they want to eat. That's not to say they'll suddenly want a salad instead of french fries, but the mealtime habits you help create now can lead to a lifetime of healthier choices.

• pencuci kontak lensa bahan kimia seperti peluntur cat

Kebiasaannya mata merah disebabkan oleh allergic ini mengakibatkan mata merah pada keduabelah mata anda dengan serentak, menyebabkan mata menjadi mata merah berair, gatal disekitar mata dan hidung, bersin dan hidung berhingus.

Cara mengatasi mata merah(konjunktivitis)

Jangkitan sakit mata  ini kebiasaannya akan pulih sendiri dan tak merbahaya. Tanda selalunya beransur pulih dalam 2 hingga 5 hari , tetapi walau bagaimanapun jangkitan Viral konjunktivitis mungkin berlarutan sehingga 2 ke 3 minggu.

Walaupun begitu diharap agar berjumpalah dengar doktor untuk kepastian kerana,

Ada sejenis sakit mata (infectious keratitis) yang apabila dijangkiti mata anak anda, dia akan merasa seperti ada sesuatu pada bola mata dan ia amat menyakitkan sekali dan membuatkan anak anda sukar untuk membuka mata kerana terlalu sakit. Sekiranya ini dibiarkan iakan menyebakan kecacatan kekal pada penglihatan mungkiin berlaku. Sekiranya tanda ini berlaku hendak lah berjumpa doktor dengan kadar segera.

Hidung Berdarah

Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan hidung berdarah?

Hidung berdarah atau (epistaksis) biasa berlaku apabila salur darah kecil kapilari di rongga hidung pecah.

Apakah punca hidung berdarah?

• Kecederaan di hidung
• Udara yang terlampau sejuk atau kering
• Menghembus hidung dengan kuat
• Terlalu kerap bersin
• Ketumbuhan dalam rongga hidung

Apakah yang perlu dilakukan?

Jangan panik sekiranya hidung berdarah.

Rawatan segera:

• Duduk dan tunduk ke hadapan
• Bernafas melalui mulut dan picit hidung di bahagian yang keras selama 10 minit
• Terus picit hidung dan letakkan pek ais di bahagian hidung antara mata
• Selepas 10 minit, berhenti picit hidung dan periksa sama ada darah telah berhenti
• Elak dari bersin, menghembus atau mengorek hidung
• Pergi ke klinik atau hospital yang berdekatan untuk pemeriksaan lanjut oleh doktor

Berdengkur

Apa itu berdengkur?

Berdengkur adalah bunyi bising semasa bernafas, apabila sebahagian daripada saluran pernafasan atas seseorang tersumbat. Ia berlaku apabila terdapat sekatan pada aliran udara di dalam saluran pernafasan di bahagian belakang mulut dan hidung seseorang. Bunyi itu dikeluarkan apabila tisu di bahagian atas saluran pernafasan bergesel dan bergetar di antara satu sama lain. Berdengkur bertambah kerap mengikut umur dan biasanya tidak membahayakan.

Sebab-sebab berdengkur

Lemah otot-otot pada lidah, lelangit lembut dan tekak. Apabila otot tidak tegang akibat arak atau ubatan yang menyebabkan otot lemah, lidah akan tertolak ke belakang, menutupi aliran udara atau otot tekak tertarik masuk ke dalam tekak dan menyekat salur pernafasan atas. Juga berlaku semasa waktu tidur yang nyenyak. Tisu tekak yang besar dan tebal. Kanak-kanak yang mempunyai tonsil dan tisu adenoid yang membengkak selalunya berdengkur. Orang yang berlebihan berat badan dan mempunyai leher yang pendek dan besar.

Lelangit lembut dan uvula (anak tekak) yang panjang. Uvula yang panjang akan mengecilkan rongga pembukaan dari hidung ke tekak. Getaran yang berlebihan dari tisu ini akan mengakibatkan dengkuran. Saluran pernafasan tersekat. Hidung yang tersumbat dan sukar bernafas menyebabkan individu lebih kerap menyedut udara untuk bernafas. Ini mengakibatkan ruang vakum yang berlebihan di dalam tekak, dan mengakibatkan tisu tekak yang lembut tertarik ke dalam dan mengakibatkan dengkuran. Antara sebab lain adalah batang hidung yang bengkok, polip dan jangkitan sinus.

Komplikasi

Berdengkur, boleh juga mendatangkan masalah tidur yang serius yang dipanggil 'sleep apnea' iaitu apabila seseorang itu berhenti bernafas lebih dari 10 saat buat seketika sewaktu tidur.'Sleep apnea' boleh membahayakan diri dan memerlukan rawatan selanjutnya.

Rawatan

Bolehkah dengkuran yang kuat disembuhkan?

Mendengkur yang teruk ialah mereka yang berdengkur pada mana-mana kedudukan atau mengganggu orang lain, sepatutnya mencari khidmat nasihat perubatan bagi memastikan keadaan itu bukanlah masalah 'sleep apnea'. Pakar Telinga, Hidung dan Tekak akan memeriksa hidung, mulut, tekak, lelangit dan leher mendengkur. Kajian semasa tidur yang dilakukan di dalam 'makmal tidur' perlu bagi mengenal pasti tahap keseriusan dengkuran dan kesan kesihatan ke atas mendengkur tersebut.

Rawatan untuk dengkur 

Rawatan adalah bergantung kepada diagnosis yang dibuat. Pemeriksaan akan menunjukkan dengkur adalah disebabkan oleh alahan hidung, jangkitan, kecacatan atau masalah tonsil dan "adenoid".Rawatan diberi mengikut sebab-sebab yang dikenal pasti.

Pencegahan

Petua untuk mengurangkan dengkuran:

• Kurangkan berat badan jika anda mengalami masalah berat badan berlebihan
• Kurangkan pengambilan arak atau ubatan yang mempunyai kesan mengantuk pada waktu tidur
• Cegah pengambilan tranquilizer, pil tidur dan antihistamina sebelum tidur
• Elak pengambilan arak sekurang-kurangnya 4 jam dan mengambil makanan berat atau ringan dalam tempoh 3 jam, sebelum berehat
• Amalkan tidur pada waktu yang tetap setiap hari
• Utamakan posisi tidur mengiring daripada posisi terlentang
• Tinggikan kepala katil anda lebih kurang 4 inci ke atas supaya posisi kepala lebih tinggi dan lidah tidak tertolak ke belakang
