Which statement made by a parent of a toddler who is not gaining weight indicates the need for education about feeding small children?
a. "He doesn't want to eat, so I put the cereal in his bottle.".
b. "I put him in a high chair for meals and snacks.".
c. "I turn off the television and we eat together for every meal.".
d. "I try to feed him at the same times every day.".
A
Large quantities of cereal or baby food in bottles do not provide sufficient nutritional intake for the small child. The young child should be placed in a high chair for feeding. Distraction during feedings, such as watching television, is identified as a reason for inadequate nutritional intake in young children. Having the parents or others eat with the child makes meals and snacks a pleasant time. A regular pattern or schedule for meals facilitates nutritional intake.
