Annabelle's having urinary tract infection

Mummy sent Annabelle's urine to DSH yesterday, doctor Vasathan said just to make sure everything's ok, there's no infection on the urine, we better do a test for her. Cos we told doctor Annabelle was having fever on last Sunday & her private part got rashes on last Sat too. Managed to get her urine, mummy rushed to hospital to send it for checking. Results will be released tomorrow.

This morning daddy called up doctor Vasathan, unfortunately Annabelle is having urinary tract infection. So she has to take antibiotic now (from now up to 1 week), once she consumed the antibiotic, then have to resend her urine for examine again. Just hope that she will be recovery soon la... If not, she will be admitted to hospital.

Annabelle, you need to be strong... daddy & mummy love u!!!

Holding legs up



Just wonder why Babies in deep sleep can hold up their legs & let go with "bang bang" sound but still can get back to sleep...

I thought it's only happened to Annabelle, but it seems like Kristy's friend daughter also experienced the same.

So I think Annabelle is normal to do that... hehe

Baby - Additional food

小兒添加副食品的幾個原則
眾所週知,小嬰兒在吃奶粉或母乳一段時間後。即要添加「副食品」。不過,目前有很多民間流傳的副食品添加方式,實在不大正確。下面就介紹幾個原則:

副食品的添加從第四個月大開始即可
目前較新的嬰兒營養學理論都指出,在出生三個月內的小兒,除了母乳或奶粉之外,無需任何額外的補充食品,例如果汁、開水、葡萄糖水,都是不必要的。食慾及發育正常之嬰兒,更毋須添加任何維他命,因為在奶水中都已足夠了。
「錦上添花」的餵食方式,往往造成浪費、影響正常的胃口,更增加污染機會。事實上,國外有些專家根本就主張六個月才可開使添加副食品。

添加副食品之目的,在於作「斷奶」之準備,並供給較多不同的營養來源
在出生六個月內,由於種種條件限制,小嬰兒只能適應母乳或已經「母乳化」的配方奶粉(不是真正的牛奶)。隨著年齡的增加,這些嬰兒期「唯一」的食品,慢慢趕不上生長的需求(特別是鐵質、蛋白質、維生素方面),因此才有必要開始添加副食品來補充奶水之不足。而副食品從四|六個月大開始,份量由少而多,種類由簡而繁,逐次增加。到了周歲後,即可漸成為「正食品」,奶粉或牛奶反而變為「副食品」,當然母奶必須完全停止。
「斷奶」有許多意義,包括從母奶變為嬰兒奶粉或牛奶;從液體食物變成半固體食品:從奶瓶變成杯子或盤子、碗碟餵食;從吸允變成咀嚼吞嚥或就嘴喝下:從單一奶水變成各式各樣食物:從配方奶粉改為成人吃的全脂奶粉或一般牛奶等,並非只是「斷了母奶(或牛奶)」而已。

餵副食品,除了滿足口慾、飽慾之外,還要讓小嬰兒慢慢學習兒童及大人的飲食習慣方式,並適應各種不同的食物。因此,必須要在半年內,讓小寶寶懂得咬嚼吞嚥並嚐試各種食品,以免來有偏食習慣。

很多人把麥粉泡在奶瓶中與奶水一起吃,就是一種錯誤的方法。麥粉(或米粉)固然是副食品的首選,但如放在奶瓶中,一來無法讓小寶寶練習咬嚼,二來量太少,無法變換花樣(例如可添加奶水、肉湯、蛋黃一齊吃),二來無法在一段時間後使小寶寶戒除吸吭的飲食習慣。

果汁也是一樣,盡量要用杯子或湯匙練習餵食,不要放入奶瓶中。其實一段時間後,應該多練習吃果泥或果肉,不要一味以奶瓶吸允。

每一年齡層副食品所占熱量比例不同
在出生三個月內,嬰兒每天所需熱量百分之百該由母奶或奶粉供應,喝奶次數由一個月時的每天七次,到三個月可減為五 ~六次(但每次奶量可增加)。

到了四 ~六個月時,奶水之營養變成全日熱量的百分之八○ ~九○,剩下之百分之一○ ~二○可開始由副食品來取代,部分的母奶更可改為奶粉,使母親可以分身。

從七個月開始,奶水之熱量再減為全日營養的百分之五○ ~七○。過了周歲,則奶水只占熱量之百分之二○ ~三○,每天只要兩次奶水(每次三五○c.c.),其他都必須由固體或半固體食物供給。

母奶之餵食,原則上必須從三個月之每日六次,減少為八、九個月時之每日四次,到周歲前變成每日一次,過了周歲則必須完全不吃母奶(但要吃兩次牛奶)。

由此可知,奶水從第七個月開始,份量就要漸次減少,各式副食品則要漸次增加。故過了周歲,奶水不要超過三次,且不再用奶瓶,如每天還是緊抱奶瓶吃五、六次奶,或是仍把麥粉(或米粉)加在奶瓶中讓小寶寶允吸,都是不正確的方法。

每一階段之副食品添加原則
1. 三個月內:如前所述,不必任何補充食品,奶水一種已足夠各種需求,喝開水、葡萄糖水、果汁都是晝蛇添足。

2. 四 ~六個月:最適當的食物有果汁、菜湯、米麥糊,而且最好配合每個嬰兒之神經肌肉反射發育,開始使用湯匙練習餵食。

如怕小寶寶對食物過敏,可選擇米粉,不要馬上用麥粉,因為前者是單一穀類,後者成份較複雜。目前市售之米、麥粉。不但方便沖調,且都已流入適量之鐵劑或維他命,比大費周章用米去磨碎成之粉狀「米麩」要來得營養且快速簡單。米、麥粉可用開水或奶水直接泡成糊狀(先以一匙開始),慢慢餵食。最好選在小寶寶肚子餓時才吃。

另一簡便方法,即是先泡好奶,然後把一匙米粉放在乾淨碗中,加入適量已泡好之奶水攪成糊狀,先讓小寶寶吃吃看,米糊吃完可再把剩下之奶水以奶瓶餵食。如喜歡吃或很順利,則過兩天可增加米粉量,仿似泡好之奶水沖調,一段時間後吃到一小碗米糊時,就可減少一次的奶瓶餵食。一般嬰兒每天可吃米(麥)粉三○ ~五○公克,三匙之米、麥粉如再配合奶粉,即可補充七毫克之鐵劑。

米、麥粉可說是小兒最佳之第一個副食品。
果汁可以新鮮、應時、多汁之水果,如橘子、柳丁、番茄、西瓜、水梨等,以乾淨方式榨汁後加入等量開水即可餵食。菜汁可選新鮮綠葉蔬菜,去莖切碎後放入沸水煮熟,俟冷即可用湯匙餵食。果汁或菜汁每天給五 ~一○c.c.左右。

3. 七 ~九個月:果汁、菜汁每天可增加到三○c.c.,米、麥糊可吃到八○公克。此外,可用湯匙挖出香蕉、蘋果、木瓜等果肉成泥狀(果泥),把蔬菜煮爛取出壓碎(菜泥),取出煮熟之蛋黃加水調成糊狀(蛋黃泥)來餵小寶寶,肝泥(刮下泥狀再蒸熱)、馬鈴薯泥(煮熟壓成泥狀)也可配合吃。原則上,果泥、菜泥每日約三○公克,肝泥可吃到五○公克左右。肉類(裡脊肉刮成肉泥再煮熟)、肉鬆、魚鬆、魚肉、豆腐、豆漿可隨方便及嬰兒喜好,逐漸給予。蛋黃可從四分之一個吃起,增加到每天兩次,有時也可混在米、麥糊中一起吃,全蛋要十個月後方可吃。稀飯、麵條、麵線、麵包吐司、鰻頭都可適量開始練習吃,亦可數種混著吃,例如碎菜肉稀飯。

4. 十 ~十二個月:除原來吃的食物應增量外,可開始吃乾飯、全蛋(用蒸的最好),蔬菜亦可剁碎後食用。

另外有幾點要注意的是
1. 添加食物要由少量開始:剛開始吃新的副食品時須從少量試起,無任何不適再漸漸加量,且每次只單獨選擇一種吃,適應後再吃另一種。如很順利時,則可混合吃,或以各類食物輪流餵食。不要因為任何小理由而放棄嚐試副食品,例如大便稍微稀一點並無關係,沒有必要一點稀便即大為緊張。

2. 水果要選果皮容易處理,且農業污染及病原感染機會少者

3. 蛋、魚、肉、肝要新鮮且煮熟,注意清潔

4. 對食器消毒及食物之保存要多加小心。準備食物時要勤洗手。

5. 儘量以天然食物為主,少加調味料,以免造成過早拒吃原來之奶水或偏食,甚至造成成人後之病痛潛因。

6. 如真的沒有時間調製副食品,可使用罐裝嬰兒食品,但要注意保存時效。成人之罐頭食品口味太重,不可給嬰兒吃。菠菜、甜菜、蘿蔔含多量硝酸鹽,也不適合一歲內嬰兒。

7. 六個月後副食品吃得很好者,原有嬰兒奶粉可不必馬上改為所謂高蛋白(較大嬰兒)奶粉,吃母奶之嬰兒必須注意蛋白質(肉、蛋)之補充。全脂奶(即一般牛奶)至少要周歲方可開始吃。其實較大嬰兒奶粉可吃到二歲左右。過了周歲由於營養來源有多種,吃奶主要是補充鈣質及一些維生素,並非熱量之重要來源,吃什麼奶已無關緊要。

8. 最好先請教醫護人員才開始添加副食品,婆婆、媽媽、親友同事、雜貨店老闆之意見不一定正確。

Baby - solid food

嬰兒的問題-副食品
在寶寶六個月前,母乳是最完美的食品,沒有需要添加任何食物或飲料(包括開水)。這樣的作法可以使媽媽的奶水充足,同時減少過敏的可能。
即使在頭一年後,母乳仍可持續提供相當量的重要營養素,尤其是蛋白質、脂肪及維生素。寶寶六個月大時,神經發展也讓他適合嚐試他種餵食方式。
他的頭控制較好,眼睛可以直視前方,稍加扶持可以坐得穩,並且會用手抓東西放至嘴裡。我們可以觀察寶寶的情形,如果有五、六天在沒有什麼不舒服的情況下,而他每次伸手抓東西就往自己嘴巴送,而且不停的想吃奶時,就可試著讓他吃一點熟香蕉或馬鈴薯,如果他吃得很高興而且不會用舌頭把食物推出來,那麼我們可以確定他已經準備要吃其他食物了。每個寶寶都是獨特的個體,幾個月的差別是正常的。
添加副食品10大原則原則1. 持續哺乳 持續在寶寶需求時就哺餵母乳,避免因為過多的副食品取代母乳所提供的營養素及免疫方面的好處。
原則2. 漸進添加 一開始先讓寶寶吃一兩湯匙以母奶或是開水泡成糊狀的米粉,如果寶寶吃得不錯,幾天後可以另外再餵一餐。通常約在開始進食兩個月後左右,可以一天吃到三餐的副食品。一旦寶寶熟悉適應不同的進食方式時,可以慢慢改變食物的性狀,增加食物的黏稠度,並且添加其他的食物。一般建議先是水果泥、及青菜泥,最後是肉類。
原則3. 多樣化內容 每天提供多樣化的食物,母奶、米麥粉、水果、蔬菜及動物性食物。添加鐵的穀類米麥粉及肉可以提供適當的鐵。豆類、小魚、起司、優格等可以提供鈣。(一歲之前不建議喝鮮奶。)避免給太多的果汁,(一歲前不要超過每天120cc,之後不要超過每天240cc),因為它們只有提供少量的能量,但是卻取代了更營養的食物。為避免寶寶習慣高膽固醇的食物,有人建議蛋黃一週不要超過三個。
原則4. 準備一些可以用手抓的食物 當寶寶的咀嚼吞嚥功能越來越熟練時,約在八個月大左右,可以嘗試讓他以手抓東西吃,例如:撕碎的土司、小塊雞肉、熟的香蕉切片、煮熟的紅蘿蔔、地瓜或是麵條。不同的味道和質感,會讓他有興趣抓來吃。要注意不要讓他嗆到。不宜給他花生,爆米花,翠果子,瓜子、硬糖果或其他硬而圓的食物,以免造成異物吸入。
原則5. 天然為主 製作副食品時,以天然食品為主,無需添加調味品。製作之前,除了用具要乾淨外也記得要洗手。
原則6.避免容易引起過敏的食物 牛奶、蛋白、花生、帶殼的海鮮類、酸性的水果,如:草莓、柑橘、蕃茄,都是比較容易引起過敏的食物,一歲之前不要食用。不要給一歲以下的寶寶食用蜂蜜, 以免引起肉毒桿菌中毒。一歲之前不要給寶寶一般成人吃的牛奶,兩歲之前不要給寶寶脫脂牛奶,已免缺乏必需脂肪酸,並造成不必要的腎臟負荷。
原則7. 注意反應 一次從少量開始添加一種食物,注意是否有不良反應──如氣喘、皮膚紅疹、腹瀉等。如果適應不錯,可逐漸增加量,一週之後再添加另外一種新的食物。
原則8. 愉快的用餐氣氛 選擇大人最輕鬆的時間開始嘗試餵寶寶副食品,可以是中午或是晚上。一開始寶寶可能不太習慣不同的進食方式及食物,需要有耐心。可以一邊餵食,一邊鼓勵他:「好好吃喔!」用餐時讓寶寶坐在固定的椅子上,培養他良好的進食習慣。可以在餵食前讓寶寶先喝些母奶,以避免他太餓。維持用餐時的氣氛。每個人的胃口及對食物的偏好不同要勉強寶寶,當他不想吃時,就抱離椅子。儘量給他多種食物去選擇。
原則9.不要怕髒當他習慣於吞嚥食物後,可試著讓他自己拿湯匙。當他湯匙拿得不錯時,讓他穿圍兜,地上舖報紙或塑膠布,會讓妳比較容易清理。通常在一歲以後,他可以做得較好。
原則10.不需要用奶瓶副食品不要放在奶瓶中,以免過度餵食,或是讓寶寶嗆到。 試著讓他用杯子喝飲料,而不需使用奶瓶。市面上很多寶寶用的杯子,有兩個把手,杯子有蓋子使裡面的液體不易溢出。可先放一些開水在裡面,讓寶寶知道怎麼使用它。剛開始他可能會拿來當玩具玩,不要著急,他慢慢會學會使用杯子,等他使用得順手時,可以放些果汁或奶水讓他飲用。

注意: 當寶寶開始進食副食品時,寶寶大便的形狀、顏色、或味道有可能會改變。有時你會看到食物原封不動的排出來,例如:紅蘿蔔絲、蔬菜葉,這是很常見而正常的。有時米粉、米飯、蘋果泥、或是香蕉會讓寶寶的大便較硬不好排出,可以嘗試換別種食物看看。 藉由使用適量的糖、鹽、及油,不以食物當作鼓勵,提供均衡的食物,你可以培養寶寶正確的飲食習慣。總而言之,當寶寶開始表現出對大人食物有興趣,或是他的神經發展到可以控制頭部及手的動作時即可嚐試讓他吃副食品。不要著急,不要怕髒或麻煩,維持進餐時的愉快氣氛,和他一起享受用餐的樂趣!

理想的離乳   隨著寶寶的成長,固體食物攝取量的增加,寶寶吸母乳的次數逐漸減少。有一天,他的心理滿足了,他長大了,他自然就不再吸媽媽的奶了。這可能是一歲,可能是兩歲,也可能是六七歲。

寶寶吃奶的次數減少時,你可以試著告訴他,他已經長大了,可以開始準備不吃奶了。如果寶寶並沒有減少吃奶的跡象時,離乳可能還太早。要有耐心,因為對寶寶而言,吃母乳不僅是獲取營養,更是他心理得到慰藉的一個方式。 不同的媽媽可能有不同的離乳方式,你可以試著:

方法一、一天減一次餵奶的次數。 如果在你餵奶的時候,寶寶並不專心,或是吃一下子就不吸了,你可以試看看減掉一餐。那一餐可以用杯子或是奶瓶餵食,或是以其他的食物替代。可以每三四天,或是每一兩週減一餐,逐次遞減。 通常我們建議開始離乳的時間是在一歲左右,所以不一定要經過奶瓶這個階段,如此可以避免日後還要再一次戒掉奶瓶。

方法二、逐漸縮短每次餵食的時間。 例如他本來每一次是吸十分鐘,改成讓他吸五分鐘。然後給他一些營養的點心,或用杯子再餵他果汁或牛奶,內容要視他的年齡而定(請參考副食品一章)。

方法三、拖延他吃奶的時間,並且用其他的方式讓他分心。 如果他不是以母奶為主食時,如果他在不適當的時間,例如宴會的時候,要求要吃奶,你可以試著告訴他,這個時機不適合,等到回到家或睡覺前再吃奶(通常適用於較大的孩子);或者用其他好玩的東西或食物吸引他的注意力。

方法四、改變睡覺前的儀式。 通常睡覺前的一餐是最後被停止的一餐。有的媽媽會試著在睡覺前讓寶寶吃或喝一些點心。刷過牙之後,摟著他和他一起看故事書或是聽音樂,然後再睡覺。 這可能需要幾週的時間,寶寶才會學會。 如果你嘗試了好幾個禮拜,寶寶還是沒有辦法停止吃母乳,可能表示寶寶還沒有準備好。有的時候是寶寶的年齡還太小,有的時候是因為家裡環境的改變, 或是他的身體不舒服,讓他更想吸奶。不要急,隔幾週再試看看;早晚他自然就會不想吃奶了。然而,在我們現在的環境下,周圍的親朋好友或是我們的工作環境可能並不允許我們這麼做。周圍的人可能無法接受漸進式的離乳的方式,而要求我們狠下心來,幾天完全不讓寶寶吃母乳,甚至幾天都不要讓寶寶見到媽媽。對於後者的方式對寶寶到底有沒有影響,沒有絕對的答案。到底好不好,也是見仁見智。(我個人是比較不贊同。)重要的是,不論媽媽決定何時不再餵寶寶,或是如何讓寶寶不再吃母乳,不要忘了寶寶還是需要我們的愛,當我們不再哺餵寶寶母乳時,我們需要用其他的方式讓他感覺到我們仍是愛他的。 (Source From http://www.bhp.doh.gov.tw/breastfeeding/index02-4-9.htm)
