Teaching our child HEALTHY EATING HABITS is the best way para maging maayos ang kanilang pag kain.
Here are 9 tips para maging magana sa pag kain ang inyong bulilit!
1. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT EVERY CHILD HAS DIFFERENT BODY TYPE.
Don't worry kung payat ang anak mo dahil hindi porket payat sakitin at di porket malaman ang bata healthy na. It doesn't work that way!
Kadalasan kaya payat ang bata sila yung type na sobrang active. They enjoy physical activities a lot. Sila yung sobrang liksi. In short, body types depend on how much physical activities they are doing.
2. NEVER FORCE A CHILD TO EAT
Yes! Wag pilitin. It doesn't mean na gugutumin natin sila. If sinabi ng bata busog na siya,busog na siya. Let your child listen to their body.As long as sinabi ni Pedia na weight is normal, you don't have anything to worry about kung gaano kadami ang kakain, as long as you give them balance meals everyday. Studies shows that when you force a child to eat most likely they will develop eating disorder later in life.
So let your child listen to their body so that they will also have healthy relationship with food.
3. Less milk, MORE FOOD.
Ask yourself if how many cups of milk does your child drink for day. As they age, dapat they are slowly weaning off milk. Dahil nakakabusog talaga ang gatas but they don't get all the nutritions they need as they grow sa gatas lang. 2-3 cups of milk for ages 12-24 months and 2- 2 1/2 cups of milk for ages 2-5
4. LET THEM BE INVOLVED
Whether it's preparing their meals or grocery shopping. Let them be involved. Sometimes I asked my daughter to help me prepare our food lalo na pag di niya masyadong type ang ulam and the reason why is when they are involved they feel a sense of accomplishment. They are so proud it. ( don't forget to give positive reinforcements like " you are such a good helper" "you are the best chef!")
5. EAT RAINBOW
Make their plate colorful using vegetables,fruits, meat and carbs. If sinisipag do a little plating dahil nakakaattract to ng attention nila
6. 3 BITES AND WE'RE DONE
May mga pag kain na ayaw nila talaga at hindi to maiiwasan pero I always say JUST TAKE 3 BITES AND WE'RE DONE. Sabi nila it takes approximately 15 times of trying bago mo magustuhan ang isang pagkain
7. HAVE A ROUTINE
Yes pati po sa meal time may routine dahil para hindi mahirapan mag transition ang bata. A thing I always do is say "5 minutes left and then we're going to eat" opo di pa sila marunong tumingin ng oras but it gives them enough time to transition ( remember to stick on the time you said) also have a place for them to eat. PAG HINAHABOL SILA PARA SUBUAN, THEY THINK IT'S A GAME. Stop and have them sit down also THIS IS TO PREVENT CHOWKING
8. NO SCREEN DURING MEALS
To avoid distractions, turn off the screen. Let your child and the whole family enjoy meal time. Talk to one another and savior each bite!
9. 30 MINUTES RULE
Good time for meal time is 30 minutes. Again this will also help them to understand na busog na ba sila or hindi pa. Finish or not after 30 minutes meal time is over
Sana makatulong tong 9 tips na ito para maging healthy at malakas ang inyong mga anak.

Parents, are you looking for healthy and nutritious meal options for your kids? Try incorporating lean proteins such as poultry, fish, beans, and tofu into their diet! These sources of protein are not only rich in essential nutrients but also low in unhealthy fats. Poultry, such as chicken and turkey, is a good source of B vitamins and minerals like phosphorus and selenium. Fish, like salmon and cod, is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that support brain health. Beans and lentils are a great plant-based protein option and are high in fiber, iron, and other essential vitamins and minerals. Tofu is another great option for vegetarians and is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. Incorporating lean proteins into your child's diet can help them stay full, focused and energized throughout the day.

Introduction
Nutrition for kids is based on the same ideas as nutrition for adults. Everyone needs the same types of things, such as vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat. These are called nutrients. Children need different amounts of specific nutrients at different ages.

The best eating pattern for a child's growth and development considers the child's age, activity level and other characteristics. Check out these nutrition basics for kids, based on the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Food packed with nutrients — with no or limited sugar, saturated fat, or salt added to it — is considered nutrient dense. Focusing on nutrient-dense foods helps kids get the nutrients they need while limiting overall calories.

Consider these nutrient-dense foods:

Protein. Choose seafood, lean meat and poultry, eggs, beans, peas, soy products, and unsalted nuts and seeds.
Fruits. Encourage your child to eat a variety of fresh, canned, frozen or dried fruits. Look for canned fruit that says it's light or packed in its own juice. This means it's low in added sugar. Keep in mind that 1/4 cup of dried fruit counts as one serving of fruit.
Vegetables. Serve a variety of fresh, canned, frozen or dried vegetables. Choose peas or beans, along with colorful vegetables each week. When selecting canned or frozen vegetables, look for ones that are lower in sodium.
Grains. Choose whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread or pasta, oatmeal, popcorn, quinoa, or brown or wild rice.
Dairy. Encourage your child to eat and drink fat-free or low-fat dairy products, such as milk, yogurt and cheese. Fortified soy beverages also count as dairy.
Aim to limit your child's calories from:

Added sugar. Naturally occurring sugars, such as those in fruit and milk, aren't added sugars. Examples of added sugars include brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup and honey. To avoid added sugar, check nutrition labels. Choose cereals with minimal added sugars. Avoid sodas and other drinks with added sugars. Limit juice servings. If your child drinks juice, make sure it's 100% juice without added sugars.
Saturated fats. Saturated fats mainly come from animal sources of food, such as red meat, hot dogs, poultry, butter and other full-fat dairy products. Pizza, sandwiches, burgers and burritos are a common source of saturated fat. Desserts such as cakes and ice cream are another common source of saturated fat. When cooking, look for ways to replace saturated fats with vegetable and nut oils, which provide essential fatty acids and vitamin E.
Salt. Most children in the United States have too much salt in their daily diets. Another name for salt is sodium. Salt can hide in sandwiches, where the sodium in bread, meat, condiments and toppings adds up. Processed foods, such as pizza, pasta dishes and soup, often have high amounts of salt. Encourage snacking on fruits and vegetables instead of chips and cookies. Check nutrition labels and look for products low in sodium.

The Many Colors of Baby P**p:

Long after adjusting to parenthood and your role as principal p**p watcher and wiper, you may still find yourself fretting over changes in the color of your baby's p**p.
In reality, once your baby has p**ped enough to get rid of the tarry meconium, all the varying shades of yellow, brown, and even green that may follow are considered perfectly acceptable. Mustardy yellow is the color of choice for most breastfed babies.
For those who are formula fed, it's yellow-tan with hints of green.
Being presented with a changing palette of colors in your baby's diaper is not uncommon—particularly later on when your baby is introduced to solid foods and snotty nose colds, both of which can add new shades and substance to the mix.

Red:
Seeing red can mean blood, especially in the newborn period when your baby isn't eating or drinking anything red colored that could be mistaken for blood when it comes out the other end.
Blood should not signal you to panic immediately, but you should bring it to the attention of your pediatrician, who will be able to help you sort out the cause. It is not uncommon for babies to swallow some blood during delivery that presents itself shortly thereafter—in either the baby's spit-up or p**p.
Additionally, in the case of blood-streaked spit-up, remember to consider whether your own sore, cracked ni***es might be the source. In any case, any amount of bloody p**p should be evaluated because it can be a sign of a problem.

Black:
Black-colored p**p is worth paying attention to because blood typically turns from red to black over time in the intestinal tract.
Remember that this black color alert does not apply to your baby's first few meconium bowel movements, which you can fully expect to be black and tarry looking without having to be concerned about blood.

White:
White p**p is quite rare but needs to be brought to the attention of a doctor as soon as possible.
Pale p**p that's lacking in color can be caused by an underlying liver problem.
The earlier it is assessed, the better, for peace of mind or for important medical management.

Sample Menu for a 1-Year-Old Child

Babies and young toddlers should get about half of their calories from fat. Healthy fats are very important for normal growth and devel­opment at this stage of their development.

All fats are not created equal, though. Healthy fats like those found in avocado, olive oil, fish, nut butters, and dairy are good for your child (and you). Unhealthy fats such as those found in fried foods, fast foods and many packaged foods are not healthy at any age.
If you keep your child's daily caloric intake at about 1,000 calories, you needn't worry about overfeeding and risk of weight gain

Here is a sample menu for a one-year-old child who weighs about 21 pounds (9.5 kg):
1 cup = 8 ounces = 240 ml
1 ounce = 2 tablespoons = 30 ml
½ ounce = 1 tablespoon = 15 ml = 3 teaspoons
1 teaspoon = ¹⁄³ tablespoon = 5 ml

BREAKFAST:
½ cup iron-fortified breakfast cereal or 1 cooked egg
½ cup whole or 2% milk
½ banana, sliced
2 to 3 large sliced strawberries

SNACK:
1 slice toast or whole-wheat muffin with 1–2 tablespoons cream cheese or peanut butter, or ½ cup yogurt with cut-up fruit
Water or ½ cup whole or 2% milk

LUNCH:
½ sandwich: sliced turkey or chicken, tuna, egg salad or peanut butter
½ cup cooked green vegetables
½ cup whole or 2% milk

SNACK:
1 to 2 ounces cubed or string cheese, or
2 to 3 tablespoons fruit or berries
Water or ½ cup whole or 2% milk

DINNER:
2 to 3 ounces cooked meat, ground or diced
½ cup cooked yellow or orange vegetables
½ cup whole-grain pasta or potato
½ cup whole or 2% milk

Signs of Feeding Difficulties in a 1 Month Old

Too Much Feeding:
If bottle-fed, the baby is consuming more than 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 mL) per feeding.
She vomits most or all the food after a complete feeding.
Her stools are loose and very watery, eight or more times a day. (Keep in mind that breastfed babies normally tend to have much more frequent and looser stools.)

Too Little Feeding:
If breastfed, the baby stops feeding after ten minutes or less.
She wets fewer than four diapers per day; particularly if she has begun sleeping through the night, she may be feeding inadequately (since most babies feed at least once during the night), and may urinate less often and become mildly dehydrated.
She has infrequent or very hard stools in the first month.
She appears hungry, searching for something to suck shortly after feedings.
She becomes more yellow, instead of less, during the first week.

Feeding Allergy or Digestive Disturbance:
Your baby vomits most or all food after a complete feeding.
She produces loose and very watery stools eight or more times a day or has blood in the stools.
She has a severe skin rash

What Nutrients Do Children Need?
Wondering exactly what to put on your family's plates? Below, we'll introduce you to some of the most important nutrients kids should have on a daily basis (keeping in mind that every child has different needs based on their age, weight, height, and other factors).

Protein:
Protein helps a child's body build cells, break down food into energy, fight infection, and carry oxygen. According to the Cleveland Clinic, kids between the ages of 4 and 9 need about 19 grams (g) of protein daily. Those ages 9 to 13 need 34 g each day.

Carbohydrates:
Carbohydrates are the most important source of energy. They help a child's body use fat and protein for building and repairing tissue. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that kids over the age of 1 consume about 130 g of carbohydrates each day. That's usually pretty easy because carbohydrates come in several different forms, like sugars, starches, and fiber. (Kids should be eating more of the starches and fibers and less of the sugar, since consuming high amounts of "bad" carbs like soda, candy, and processed foods is associated with obesity, diabetes, and other health problems.)

Healthy Fats:
A great source of energy for kids, fats are easily stored in the body, and they allow for proper usage of other important nutrients. The American Heart Association says to "keep total fat intake between 30 to 35% of calories for children 2 to 3 years of age and between 25 to 35% of calories for children and adolescents 4 to 18 years of age, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and vegetable oils."

Calcium:
Calcium is essential for building a child's healthy bones and teeth. It's also important for blood clotting and nerve, muscle, and heart function. The FDA recommends that children ages 1 to 3 get 700 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day, while those over 4 years old should strive for 1,300 mg daily

Iron:
Iron is necessary to build healthy blood that carries oxygen to cells all over the body. It's also vital for "growth and development, immune function, reproduction, and wound healing," says the FDA. What's more, having sufficient iron stores reduces the risk of anemia. Kids ages 1 to 3 should get about 7 mg of iron daily, while older kids should get increasingly more; check out the recommended amounts from the National Institutes of Health. Adolescent girls who have started menstruating may want to pay closer attention to iron intake.

Folate:
Vital for soon-to-be parents, folate (one of the B vitamins) is also crucial for healthy growth and development of a child's cells. Lack of this vitamin can cause folate-deficiency anemia. The amount of folate kids need varies by age; for example, those under 6 months need 65 micrograms (mcg) daily, children ages 4 through 8 years old need 200 mcg daily, and teens 14 to 18 years old need 400 mcg daily.

Fiber:
Fiber promotes bowel regularity in a child, and it may also reduce the chances of cardiovascular disease and cancer later in life. Fiber also lowers "bad" cholesterol and controls blood sugar. For kids up to age 3, the FDA recommends 14 g of dietary fiber per day; those ages 4 and older need about 28 g.

Vitamin A:
Vitamin A serves a variety of purposes in kids and adults. It promotes growth, assists the eyes in adjusting to dim and bright lights, keeps skin healthy, works to prevent infection, and more. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) lists the recommended amounts of two sources of vitamin A (preformed vitamin A and provitamin A carotenoids) as micrograms of retinol activity equivalents (RAE). There's a wide range of acceptable levels based on age and s*x; for example, babies under 6 months should get 400 mcg RAE of vitamin A daily, while kids ages 9 to 13 should get 600 mcg RAE

Vitamin C:
Vitamin C does more than just fight off the common cold. It also holds the body's cells together, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, heals wounds, and promotes strong bones and teeth. From ages 4 to 8, kids need about 25 mg of vitamin C daily; that's approximately the amount in half of a small orange. From ages 9 to 13, the recommended daily intake increases to 45 mg, and by the teen years, your child will need to consume between 65 and 75 mg of Vitamin C daily.

Vitamin D:
Not only does vitamin D assist with calcium absorption, it also builds strong bones and teeth. What's more, vitamin D is necessary for "many body processes, such as blood pressure regulation, hormone production, and immune and nervous system function," says the FDA. From ages 1 to 3, kids should get about 15 mcg (600 IU) of vitamin D each day. People need about 20 mcg (800 IU) daily after that.

Potassium:
Potassium regulates several body functions including heart rhythm, the nervous system, and muscle contraction. Low levels of potassium can lead to muscle weakness and abnormal heart rate. The recommended daily intake is 3,000 mg through age 3 and 4,700 mg for older children and adults, says the FDA.

Anorexia in Children

Definition:
Anorexia is an eating disorder marked by very low food intake and/or excess physical activity.
It is often driven by fears of weight gain and distorted body image.
Anorexia can lead to severe symptoms, such as stunted growth, bone loss, damage to major organs such as the heart, and even death
