| Important rules in infant feeding |
Learn the general rules of infant feeding, when and how to start feeding? All of these questions will be answered below:
Feeding an infant is an easy and enjoyable task, whether it is breastfeeding or artificial feeding, provided that the following conditions are met:
1. To provide the child with adequate nutritional needs, including the necessary amount of thermal hairs necessary for movement and body temperature and the elements necessary for its growth and development and the work of his body systems.
2. To provide the child with the emotion necessary for his psychological balance by giving him his food ration when he desperately needs it, which develops a sense of security and that he is surrounded by all the care and love necessary for his psychological development and to open his mental faculties such as opening flowers.
In order to feed the child well, it is not enough to learn ready-to-feed methods with specific numbers for each food item the child needs.All these things are now well-studied and known by dietitians, but we must learn to monitor the child, and know that he needs food without asking us This, he can not speak to express his need, and thus meet his desires and do not impose food within specific hours and in quantities may not suffice his need. But on the other hand, nutrition does not become unbalanced, random and tiring for the mother and her baby. Now we explain some simple dietary rules that can help you no matter how you feed (natural or artificial).

Now we explain some simple dietary rules that can help you no matter how you feed (natural or artificial).
General rules of nutrition:
1. Nutrition immediately after birth:
The newborn baby feels hungry immediately after birth as his body does not contain any food stocks, and his blood sugar level drops rapidly in the case of hunger, so the habit that we currently follow to leave the newborn baby immediately after birth without food for a day or a day and a half is usually abnormal and may be Harmful to the child. The newborn must be fed from the start, especially when we feel he is asking for food to look for the nipple. Feeding with milk is not local water, which does not provide enough food for the newborn.
The newborn baby knows instinctive breastfeeding from birth, if placed near the breast can raise his head and feel the nipple with his nose and lips and then put it with his mouth and start sucking to breastfeed. This instinctive reflex is present from the beginning of birth and we must not hinder him, and finally the newborn baby knows his nutritional needs since the first feeding meal let him breastfeed the right amount of milk for him.

2. Nutrition according to the request of the newborn baby:
Every child is a living organism that has its own character and is different from the rest of the children.There are quiet children and others tense as there are obese children and others weigh less, and children cry and ask for food most of the time and others tend to sleep and cry less. We can not impose a single food program with the same dates and the same rations for completely different children, but it is possible to start the feeding program according to the request of the newborn:
Do not wake your baby by giving him a feed and wait for him to wake up and ask for milk (if the baby is not premature and his weight is normal and in good health).
Do not force him to take more milk than he needs by giving him breasts after refusing or forcing him to complete the bottle in case of artificial feeding. Let him take the amount that suits him or her and let him know that sometimes he feeds much less.
After several days, try to find a basic system of meals to be separated between two and a half hours to three hours, which is necessary to digest the meal. Knowing that your baby may cry for something other than hunger may be thirst, fatigue, the heat of the weather, the desire to fondle parents or the need to change sanitary pads. It is also important to know and respect his sleep times.
Meals Night: As we talked before, the newborn does not have any food stocks at the beginning and does not endure long periods of hunger during the night, which lasts from six to eight hours, so do not refuse to breastfeed at night, and in return do not make night and day at night and you have to try to make His sleep corresponds to the system of family sleep during a period of time may be long and up to eight weeks, you must be patient and tenderness with your child to get used to the system of family sleep.

3. How do you know the right nutrition for your child:
The best practical test to know that a meal is adequate and that the child is well fed is to watch it immediately after the meal, where he sleeps quietly and his limbs are completely relaxed and his breath is not disturbed if nutrition is good.
The sleep period lasts from two and a half hours to three hours.
The other way to monitor the nutrition of the child is a weekly weight where the weight increases naturally 150-200 g per week during the first three months of age and then the rate of weight gain decreases in the following months, and there is a scientific chart of the weight of the child, where each period corresponds to the age of the child appropriate weight.
