1. Chapter 15 Nutrition from Infancy to Adolescence

2. Describe how feeding practices and nutritional requirements change from infancy to childhood. During early infancy the main emphasis is on appropriate breast-feeding, while during the latter part of the first year of life, the emphasis is in transitioning the infant to foods that are appropriate and will not cause allergic responses or provide choking hazards. During childhood, the main concern is trying to provide a variety of foods for children and a setting that will encourage appropriate eating behavior. In addition, exercise needs to be emphasized so that obesity does not present a problem`. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

14. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Food Allergies and Food Intolerances Food allergies are more common in infants than adults. Exposure to an allergen for the first time causes the immune system to produce antibodies to that allergen. Allergy symptoms include sneezing, rash, eczema, hives, cramps, aches, vomiting, asthma, diarrhea and many others. Allergy symptoms may be immediate or take up to 24 hours. Allergy symptoms may range from mild to life-threatening. Food intolerances do not cause antibody production. Food intolerances create problems during digestion. Lactose intolerance, an inability to digest milk sugar, is an example.

15. Copyright 2010, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.. Infants are at greater risk for developing food allergies because their small intestine allows larger peptides to enter into the body which will result in their immune systems producing antibodies to these allergens. In the older child, the maturity of the small intestine does not encourage the passage of these partially digested proteins to be passed into the blood.

Food allergies are more common in breastfed babies than formula fed babies. can result when incompletely digested proteins are absorbed from the intestine and enters the lymph and/or bloodstream. tend to be more common in older children than in infants. are not serious unless they occur in children over the age of 6.
