Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evidence-based, practical guide provides an introduction to the theory behind child nutrition with practical advice on how to put that theory into practice, including case studies, key points, and activities to help readers learn. Divided into three sections, the chapters cover prenatal nutrition and nutrition throughout childhood from preterm babies to adolescents up to the age of 18. Section 1: Introduction to the growth, nutrients, and food groups. Section 2: Providing a balanced eating pattern for each age group, chapters include expected growth patterns, development affecting eating and drinking skills, as well as common problems such as reflux in babies, fussy eaters in the toddler years, and eating disorders and pregnancy in the teenage years. Section 3: Common problems/disorders that can occur at any stage throughout childhood such as obesity, diabetes, and food intolerances. Chapters will also cover nutritional support in the community, reflecting the increasing numbers of chronically sick children who are now managed in the primary care setting. This book is essential reading for nutrition and dietetics students, as well as student children's nurses and health and social care students. It will also be a useful reference for those responsible for the nutritional health of children in primary care and community settings (including nurses, midwives, health visitors, GPs, social workers, nursery nurses, early years workers, and school nurses).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infant nutrition refers to the study of the nutritional requirements of infants. A diet that lacks in vital minerals, calories, fluids or vitamins is deemed insufficient. Breast milk offers the best nutrition for the crucial early months of growth as compared to infant formula. It has numerous benefits for neonates and infants, including improved immunity, growth and development. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, anemia and obesity. Solid foods are often provided to infants after four to six months from their birth. Proper infant nutrition requires the provision of vital nutrients that promote development, appropriate growth, function, and resistance to disorders and infections. An expectant mother can ensure optimal nutrition by choosing whether to bottle-feed or breastfeed the infant after birth. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights on infant nutrition. It is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm annually and this number is rising. Feeding the preterm infant is a challenge. Outside the womb prematurely, normal nutrient delivery through the placenta ceases, and the preterm infant's immature gastrointestinal tract precludes the establishment of enteral feeding, leading to postnatal growth failure in substantial proportions just when preterm infants are ready for discharge. Suboptimal growth in the crucial early years is deemed as leading cause of poor cognitive and developmental outcomes. The availability of parenteral nutrition is essential in the care of these infants. Prompt administration of parenteral nutrition from the first day of life minimizes weight loss and results in better short-term growth. The author, a practicing neonatologist believes that transitioning from parenteral to enteral feeding is best achieved with the use of breast milk. Breast milk also significantly reduces the incidence of a life-threatening bowel disease: necrotizing enterocolitis. However, breast milk has inadequate calories and minerals for the rapidly growing preterm infant, and fortification is necessary to curtail growth restriction development. This book presents unique, real-life scenarios in discussing commonly encountered feeding problems and suggests strategies to enhance nutritional intervention to optimize growth of the preterm infant.

This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improved conditions of care for premature infants have led to markedly increased survival rates over the last few decades, particularly in very low and extremely low birth weight infants. Nutritional measures play a central role in the long-term outcome, health and quality of life of these premature infants. In this publication, leading experts from all 5 continents present the most recent evidence and critical analyses of nutrient requirements and the practice of nutritional care (with the focus on very low birth weight infants) to provide guidance for clinical application. After the introductory chapters, covering nutritional needs and research evidence in a more general manner, topics such as amino acids and proteins, lipids, microminerals and vitamins, parenteral and enteral nutrition as well as approaches to various disease conditions are addressed. Due to its focus on critical appraisals and recommendations, this book is of interest not only for the researcher who wants to keep up to date, but also for the clinician faced with premature infants in his practice.
