🔥Parenting Tip of the Week🔥 |
|
|
“A young child’s protein needs are not as high as many parents think. As a proportion of total food intake, fat needs are the highest in infancy and toddlerhood compared to any other point in our lives. This is because of the rapid brain and eye growth and development that occurs during this time period. Not only does adding fat to breakfast help keep those tiny bellies full, it also supports that rapid brain growth for your little smarty pants."

💬 Your Questions, Answered 💬 |
|

Q: How do I prevent my kid from getting dehydrated? |
A: When spending time out in warm weather, make sure to keep a water bottle on hand for your little one to sip on. Every few hours take a moment to cool down inside and hydrate. Babies are at the greatest risk of dehydration. Signs to initially watch out for include fussiness, crankiness, or excessive crying, and a less than usual urination or wet diapers. |
Q: When can I introduce salt to my baby? |
A: Currently, the USDA infant feeding guidance recommends not to add salt to foods for infants under 12 months old, as your little ones' kidneys are unable to handle high levels of sodium. After 6 months, a small amount of added salt used in cooking should not be an issue. Steer away from offering processed or canned foods with high levels of sodium to your baby. As your little one approaches 12 months old, research shows that their kidney function gets better, but you should still be mindful of their sodium intake.
