What are the food and nutrient intake recommendations for toddlers with BPD? Give specific food and meal patterns suggestions
Food and nutrient intake recommendations for toddlers with BPD are similar to those for children with weakness. Small, frequent meals with foods that are concentrated energy sources are needed. Easy-to-eat foods may still be recommended so that fatigue from meals is low. If the toddler with breathing problems does not gain weight as a result of nutrition interventions, the next step would be to add homemade or commercially prepared nutritional supplements to meet the higher energy and protein needs. These supplements, such as Pediasure® or KinderCal®, are designed to meet the needs of children ages 1–10.
