First year feeding problems
Underfeeding
Underfeeding Is suggested by restlessness
and crying and by failure to gain weight
adequately.
In these cases, the frequency of feedings, the
mechanics of feeding, the size of the holes in the
nipple, the adequacy of eructation of air, the
possibility of abnormal mother-infant “bonding”
and possible systemic disease in the baby
should be investigated.

Overfeeding
Regurgitation and vomiting are frequent
symptoms.
Diets too high in fat delay gastric emptying,
cause distention and abdominal discomfort, and
may cause excessive gain in weight.
Diets too high in carbohydrate are likely to
cause resulting in too rapid a gain in weight.

Regurgitation and vomiting
The return of small amounts of swallowed
food during or shortly after eating is called
regurgitation. more complete emptying of the
stomach, especially the occurring some time
after feeding, is called vomiting.
Regurgitation can be reduced to a negligible
amount by adequate eructation of swallowed air
and after eating, by gentle handling, by avoiding
emotional conflicts, and by placing the infant on
the right side for a nap immediately after eating.
The cause of vomiting should always be
investigated

Constipation
Constipation in the artificially fed infant
may be caused by an insufficient amount
of food or fluid
May result from diets too high in fat or
protein or deficient in bulk.
Simply increasing the amount of fluid or
sugar in the formula may be corrective in
the first few months of life

Feeding during the second year of life
Reduced caloric intake:
During the second year, because of the constantly
decelerating rate of growth, there is a gradual
reduction in the infant’s caloric intake per unit of
body weight.
Self-selection of diet:
Children’s strong likes or dislikes of particular
foods should be respected whenever possible
and practicable.
Self-feeding by infants:
Before 1yr of age, the infant should be
permitted to participate in the act of feeding.

Daily basic diet:
parents should be given a daily basic diet for the
child from which the family menu can be
prepared. Daily selection provides a balanced
diet with sufficient macronutrients and
micronutrients.
Eating habits:
Eating habits formed in the 1st yr or 2yrs of life
distinctly affect those of the subsequent years.
Snacks between meals:
Orange juice or fruit, together with a cracker,
may be given in either or both of the between-
meal periods.

Preventive pediatrics
Definition: prevention of illness in children at
five levels:
Promotion of general health
Prevention of specific diseases
Early diagnosis of asymtomatic disease, so
as to permit early therapy and prevent
sequelae
Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy of
symptomatic disease to prevent sequelae
Prevention of unnecessary disability due to
established symptomatic disease

Scope:
preventive services must be related
to the health problem. Health problems
include those that cause death, acute
or chronic diseases, functional
disabilities of emotional or social
nature, or other kinds of distress and
dissatisfaction.

Development: each well-child visit
should determine a child’s
developmental achievements, such
as by the widely used Denver
Developmental Screening Test.
Questions in the gross motor,
personal-social, language, and fine
motor adaptive realms can be
presented and responses scored.

Topics of frequent concern
during health supervision
Feeding and diet:
many changes occur in the dietary intake
of those in the pediatric age group, and these
should be reviewed with the parents and
children.
During the first 12 months of life, breast
milk or infant formulas is the major source of
calories and nutrients. The introduction of
infant cereals, strained food, the junior foods,
and finally table foods are issues of daily
concern for parents.

For older children, the intake of
excessive salt, carbohydrates, or
cholesterol can adversely affect health.

Accident prevention: at each well-child
care visit, accident prevention should be
reviewed. e.g. when a child have ability to
crawl, grasp and place objects in the
mouth, issue of poison prevention is
critical.

Growth:
at each well-child visit, the weight ,
height, and the head circumference are
measured. These are plotted on
standard graphs.
if abnormalities in the rate of growth
are noted, the clinical evaluation can
focus on possible causes.

Diaper dermatitis:
Diaper dermatitis peak at age 9-12mo
Wearing diapers is the cause of most cases.
Diaper rashes are self-limited and respond to
frequent diaper changes.
More absorbent diapers have helped to
prevent diaper rashes
Diarrheal disease is a major exacerbating
factor

Teething:
most infants have their first teeth erupt at
age 6(4-10)months and may have associated
mild symptoms of gingival swelling and
sensitivity, increased salivation, and
irritability related to gum discomfort.
No evidence shows that diarrhea,
rhinorrhea, rashes, or fever is related to
teething.

Screening tests:
the recording of height and weight on a
growth chart constitutes the most important
screening procedure.
Screening for visual acuity can be done from
approximately 3 years of age. Between 5 and
10 percent of preschool children have some
visual impaired.
Screening for hearing are difficult.It is better
to use audiometer for screening of hearing loss
in neonate period.

Urinalysis is a traditional screening test, the
dip stick tests for protein and glucose are
simple and adequate.
Tuberculin tests give increasingly fewer
positive reactions, so that a positive test is
likely to identify significantly infected
children; the early detection and
identification of their contacts are important
both for therapy and prophylaxis.

urinalysis
Test approach: the mantoux test is
performed by injecting 5 tuberculin units of
purified protein derivative (PPD)
intracutaneously. The response is measured
as the amount of induration at 48-72 hours.
The size of induration, rather than erythema,
is diagnostic. Interpretation of skin test
depends on the size of induration, patient’s
age and risk factors. The size of induration is
less than 5mm, the result is negative. When
the patient have immune deficiency, PPD is
often negative in patient with primary or
miliary TB.

Negative response:
1)May not suffer from tuberculosis
2)Within 4-8 weeks after primary infection of
tuberculosis
3)False negative response due to decreased
or inhibited immune function, e.g. some
severe tuberculosis, acute infectious
diseases such as measles, whooping
cough, extremely weak patients with severe
malnutrition, severe dehydration, or severe
edema, treatment with corticosteroids or
immune inhibitors, primary or secondary
immune defects,

The only biochemical abnormality that is
presently tested for routinely is phenylketonuria,
through examination of blood of the newborn
infant after milk feedings are begun. (plasma
phenylalanine level above 20mg/dl)
Screening for thyroid function: hypothyroidism
can be found by measuring thyroxin.
Screening for lead poisoning is recommended
for children of 18 months to 5 years of age.
Serum lead normal value:﹤0.1mg/L

Principle and main points of health
care at different age periods
Prenatal and neonatal periods:
During pregnancy the maintenance of good
maternal nutrition, the early diagnosis and
adequate management of maternal infections,
the cautious use of drugs and minimal use of
radiation
A careful physical examination of the
newborn infant within 24 hours of delivery
should be carried out. Such examination aim
at early detection of anomalies, such as
congenital heart disease, hip dysplasia, and
neurologic disorders.

Habits:
the daily practices which promote good
health, usually referred to as personal
hygiene, are facilitated by the
development of habits.
Habits are considered to be good.
Praise, encouragement, attention and
personal satisfaction strengthen them.

Sleep:
There is considerable variation in the amount of
sleep required by different children.
Early establishment of regularity of bedtime is most
important.
The presleep period should be free of excitement,
rushing, scolding and physical activity.
At bedtime a quiet interaction between parents and
child should start, like reading a bedtime story,
transitional objects such as teddy bears, it facilitates
falling asleep

Elimination:
Control of the anal and bladder sphincters is
naturally acquired by most children during
the second or third year of life.
About 18 months of age most toddler have
acquired enough bladder control to retain
urine for 2 hours or so.
The average age of successful toilet training
is 27 months, with a range of up to 3-4 years
in US.

principle of additional foods
Any new food should be offered initially once a
day in small amounts (1 to 2 teaspoonfuls). New
foods are generally best accepted if fairly thin or
dilute. It is usually wise to offer the same food
daily until the baby becomes accustomed to it and
not to introduce new foods more often than every
week or two.
