Delaying Solid Feeding Giving Opportunities On Infant Digestive System In Order to Digest The Solid Food Can Growth Better

Delaying solid feeding giving opportunities on infant digestive system in order to digest the solid food can growth better. We often say that one sign that the infant is ready to accept solid food is an infant wants constantly breastfeeding (looks are not satisfied after being given breast milk or formula milk) - although he was not in ill, will grow teeth, changing routines or growth of a sudden. Nevertheless, it is difficult to determine whether the increased need for breast-feeding was associated with infant's readiness to accept solids. Many (even most) 6-month old baby who has grown suddenly, grow teeth and develop a variety of developments at a time, which could eventually lead to increased need for nursing. Assure that you see all the signs of readiness to accept solid food as a whole. Because if your baby just needs to show breastfeeding increased, it is not a sign of readiness to accept solids. Solutions for infants with such cases is, the mother trying to raise her breast milk production as well in quantity and quality.

Baby Signs Ready to Accept Solid Foods

The signs indicating that an infant is ready to accept solid foods include:
1. Baby can sit well without assistance.
2. Baby's tongue reflex was lost and did not automatically push solids out of his mouth with his tongue.
3. The baby is ready and willing to chew.
4. Baby is able to pick, where he was able to hold food or other objects with thumb and forefinger. Using fingers and rub into the palms of the hands of food can not replace the movement picked up.
5. Babies seem eager to participate at mealtime and may try to grab food and put it in his mouth.

Delaying Solid Feeding Giving Opportunities On Infant Digestive System To Be More Mature Growth

Usually an infant is ready to eat solid food, both in growth and psychologically, at the age of 6-9 months. When solid foods already given before baby's digestive system is ready to accept, the consequence may occur is the food isn’t digested properly and can cause unpleasant reactions (digestive upset, the emergence of gas, constipation, etc.). Infant's body has not had complete protein / enzyme digestion. Gastric acid and pepsin removed at birth and only in the next of 3 to 4 months it has increased close to the amount for adults. Amilase enzyme produced by the pancreas has not reached sufficient numbers to digest roughage until about 6 months of age. Carbohydrates digestive enzymes such as maltase, isomaltase, and sukrase has not reached the adult level before 7 months. Infants also have a number of lipase and bile salts in very small amounts, so that the digestion of fat has not reached the adult level before the age of 6-9 months.

Delaying Solid Feeding Provides Better Protection of Infants Against Various Diseases

Although infant continue to receive immunity through breast milk as long as they continue to breastfeed, most received immunity when he was given exclusive breastfeeding. Breast milk has 50+ content of immune factors that are known, and probably many more who are still not known. One study showed that infants given breast milk exclusively for 4+ months suffer of ear infections 40% less than babies fed breast milk plus other food. Probability of occurrence of respiratory illness during childhood is significantly reduced if the baby is given breast milk exclusively for at least 15 weeks and not given solid food during this period. Many more studies that also link the level of exclusivity of breastfeed with the increased health (see Immunity Factors in Human Milk and Risk of Instant Feeding).
