BABY NUTRITION PLAN

Infant Development & Growth
Some children do not develop at the same rate as others; there are children who have special needs,
and take their time in their development. The growth of an infant is truly amazing, this stage is delicate
for them as in this stage they require the best care, most nutrition, and this stage helps shape their
physical abilities for the future. If a child is given enough nutrients, the child will develop a strong
immune system. On the other hand, let us assume there is a child who has not been given enough
nutrition; he/she will most likely suffer from problems such as malnutrition, a weak immune system, and
this can lead to fatal diseases, which can tamper with their physical and mental development.
When an infant is born, it is likely to gain double the weight it had been born with within 4-5 months. Let
us assume the baby was 6 lbs at birth. So this means when the baby is about 5 months old, the weight
should vary between 12-13. The same goes for the height of the child, if the child has been getting
enough supplements, it will be reflected in his or her growth and development. This figure triples as the
child turns 1 year old.
Nutritional Requirements of Infants

Babies do not have many sources of nutrition when they are born; they become dependent on their
mothers for their breast milk which provides them with the supplements which they need in order to fulfill
that need. The requirement of an infant are different from what we adults need and as the baby grows,
the need for their nutrients and nutrition also changes. The first few months the baby is on the mother’s
milk, but after that baby can have baby food, which is a special formula. Insufficient nutrients can create
many problems for the child as it grows older, not just health wise, but also development wise.
The bone structure of the child will not be as strong as compared to a child who has their nutrition
requirements met. The bones will be delicate and since the bones are not completely developed, as the
child grows, chances of acquiring arthritis will also increase.
Mother’s Feed
There are many reasons why the breastfeed from the mother is very beneficial for the baby; these
benefits include:
• Provides nutrition to the new born
• Offers sufficient nutrients, and helps in the development of the immune system
• Is light on the digestive system of the baby as well as the kidneys
• Breast milk protects the baby from life threatening diseases
• Mother can feed child instantly when the child is hungry
• Emotional growth and attachment develops between mother and child through this physical
contact.
Nutrient intake before birth and during the first few years of life greatly affects overall health, growth and
cognitive ability. Undernourishment can stunt growth and cause developmental delays. Cognitive
development is the first to suffer. When the body is not receiving enough nutrients it goes into survival
mode and dedicates available nourishment to survival, then growth, and lastly cognitive development.
Nutrition for growth and development is a complex issue. There are many micronutrients that are
essential to development;
Iodine and iron-Deficiency anemia affect behavioral and cognitive development. Four to nine percent
of toddlers in the United States/India have iron-deficiency anemia. Iron is crucial for brain
development. A deficiency in iron can lead to behavioral and cognitive impairments.
Vitamin D and calcium are essential for bone development. Low levels of

vitamin D and calcium can prevent proper bone formation, cause weak bones and increase the
chances of osteoporosis in later life.
Zinc is plays an important role in cognitive development. Exactly how zinc functions in the brain is not
fully understood. It is found in the brain, bound to proteins and in high concentrations in synaptic
vesicles in neurons in the forebrain. Zinc deficiency can affect attention span and short and long-term
memory.
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of the daily diet. Children who consume very little fruits
and vegetables have an increased risk of certain cancers, such as colon cancer, and cardiovascular
disease in adulthood.
