Mother’s Milk is very important for infant nutrition for the first year. Although busy with her job, she must continue to give milk to their babies by providing dairy milk. Dairy milk is squeezed from the breast milk, stored and given to infants when mother worked and separated from their infants. Do not worry about the quality of breast milk given or not still have the same quality. Most importantly Mother must know how to store and presentation.
Things that should be the Mother of note in providing dairy milk to her baby:
- Breast milk stored at room temperature can stand 4-6 hours. For breast milk stored in the refrigerator can last about 2-3 days. If you travel long enough, the Mother can take advantage of the freezer so that milk can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 months.
- If you find any signs such as a different odor (sour), seemed clotted and darker color, indicating that breast milk is damaged. Segara throw away and replace it with breast milk is still good. If it was accidentally given the effects that arise can baby diarrhea.
- When finished flushing and storing it in a plastic sugar, mark the date of milking. So Mother knew where the mother’s milk should be used first.
- Do not heat the milk over the fire that could make dead heat absorption of the enzyme. Simply put the milk into a bowl of warm water (± 82 degrees celcius) so temperatures approaching body temperature Mother breastfeeding.
- Suggested to provide dairy milk with a spoon, not bottle. This is to avoid nipple confusion baby. Nipple confusion is a condition in which infants feel confused because before he was through breast feeding and suddenly have to breastfeed with a bottle of milk. In addition, because the milk that comes out of the bottle easier than breast, little can be lazy sucking breast while feeding back on the Mother.
Now your baby needs breast milk are met, and Mother can still work. Let the spirit of feeding your baby again!

Nutrients have an important role to encourage the process of developing a child’s brain grows. Good nutrition is like fuel for the brain. The development of brain circuits rely heavily on the quality of nutrition and stimulation given to infants in the womb to the age since the first three years, or so called golden period of growth (the golden age period).
Rapid growth in human brain cells taken place since the age of the baby until the age of three years. And reached perfection at the age of five years. This makes the fulfillment of nutritional factors as a vital factor in sufficient nutrients for brain development.
Until the age of one year, 60% of energy from breast milk and foods consumed by infants used for brain growth. Therefore, infants and toddlers need lots of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
In addition babies and toddlers need vitamin B1, B6, folic acid, iodine, iron, zinc, AA, DHA, sphyngomyelin (complex lipid content of fat in the brain), sialic acid, and amino acids like tyrosine and tryptophan.
Breast milk contains all these nutrients.
With balanced nutrition, it will add to growth and development of cells and branches on the baby’s brain. And the more the number of branching of brain cells, then the better is also a function of synapses (nerve cell edge) between brain cells. And finally the child is also more intelligent.

All parents want their children to grow up smartly. What nutrients for brain development are needed? Certainly, parents have realized that the brain DHA in infants is needed to help intelligence. In addition to dietary DHA, the children also need other nutrients to improve their small brain. Nutrition is the arachidonic acid or AA
AA, or Arachidonic Acid is not saturated fatty acids with the chemical name C20H32O2 which are found in the Mother’s Milk. Arachidonic Acid is very important for child nutrition and is a precursor in the biosynthesis partly prostaglandis. AA is part of Omega-6 fatty acids, and AA contained in the phospholipids of cell membranes of the body, especially in the brain.
AA is an important component of brain cells and in addition to AA may also help blood clotting. The addition of a combination of DHA without AA or DHA and AA in the proportion of inadequate does not give any results for growth and brain development.
AA and DHA content of high and said that the milk. Therefore, if mothers have enough milk, do not forget to give your child. Provided that certain conditions in which a mother can not give milk to children under five years children should have to replace the milk with the content of these two important substances, at least 0.2-0.5% of total fatty acids to ensure optimal development of the eye and the brain.

A comprehensive intelligence acquired in childhood, the first time of conception. Nutrition holds an important role in the development of intelligence. Other factors such as environment, meaning, attention and affection from their parents’ education.
The brain is composed of 60% fat by weight and a fatty acid DHA is more numerous in the brain. Most fat in the brain is located in the membrane of nerve cells and the protective layer of myelin. The type and amount of fat in the cell membrane to determine how brain cells communicate more effectively.
If an adult lacks the right fats, his brain is not functioning optimally, and when a child has the right fats, his brain did not function or develop optimally. Scientists have shown that a variety of mental disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, depression, Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia associated with a deficiency of essential fatty acids, and the imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3. For example, have sick children suffering from hyperactivity disorder attention deficit (ADHD), the disease is difficult to concentrate and hyperactivity, showed that low DHA blood.
Babies of DHA in breast milk sources. Providing breast milk for infants is scientifically proven to improve children’s intelligence because he is one of the most important nutrients that are useful for improving the intelligence contained in breast milk DHA. Once the child is not getting enough milk, DHA is important for optimal brain development in children. Why do babies need DHA in their diet.

During the last trimester of life of infants and the first two years of infancy, the brain is experiencing a rapid growth period is called the “brain growth spurt” or the golden period of brain growth. Lack of nutrition in this period can damage brain function. DHA is one of the nutrition that is needed for the development of sensory, perceptual, cognitive and motor nervous system during brain growth gold.
The importance of DHA for brain development has been proven. Continuous nerve axons and extensions to form cell membranes dendritis with the accompanying. Growing membrane must have a liquid, and DHA are elements in the cell membrane of the most able to give fluids. Even the synapse which is the main functional unit of brain circuits made of membrane that should be enriched by DHA.
Retina, which is functionally an extension of the brain, containing rods and cone with the membrane of the most liquid of all types of body cells; all of this is also highly enriched with DHA. Experiments with animals in the laboratory (with rats and monkeys), where they reduced the Omega-3nya, showed a decrease in the structure of the retina, the development of visual acuity and cognitive performance.
Tyrosine and tryptophan (TT) is the key to opening the potential for child nutrition, Sphingomyelin that supports the ability to send messages and prevent children from developmental delay, AA is also an essential fatty acid for brain growth and the golden period of Sialic Acid or SA which helps the memory function of the brain.

A natural immunity from mother to child through breast milk. However, there are several sources of nutrients can be a source of immune booster for children.
Children are often the disease is to take care of all parents. This is done by the child’s immune system or low immunity, therefore, showed little sensitivity to interference or degradation. These diseases can be caused, in part because of the lack of a balanced diet in the daily diet of the child.
Food and immune system are closely linked. If the gastrointestinal tract is immune, immunity is generally good. Among the sources of food nutrients that children need to find a way among others is the source of strengthening the role of immunity of the child.
- Flavonoids
According to research in general soy milk contains proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and small amounts are very high, and that the body needs to accelerate or metabolism and growth, repair damaged cells, energy resources, or increase immunity. Association of amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients are flavonoids in soybean seed. It is a type of flavonoid pigments such as chlorophyll in the leaves of plants that are green contain. Scientifically proven, flavonoids for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. And one of the many types of flavonoids in soybeans contains isoflavones. One of isoflavones function is to improve the immune system.
- Spirulina
Spirulina, a blue micro-alga, a source of protein is very high. Spirulina Blue plays an important role in the immune system. Spirulina is rich in B vitamins, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, selenium, iron and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Phycocyanin is a protein associated with spirulina, which has the greatest health benefits, among other things to work in the bone to stimulate bone marrow stem cells plays a role in the production of white blood cells to increase the immunity of the body works. And the red blood cells distribute oxygen throughout the body function. Spirulina is also rich in selenium, which is important for the immune system. Spirulina is widely consumed as a garnish.
- Zinc
The zinc or zinc is one of the most important elements of life. In the human body, zinc is a trace element essential for the more widely used, even in cells richest in micronutrients. diffusion of zinc in the nervous system, immunity, blood and digestive system of man, and participate in the Union, and hundreds of species of the enzyme activity in the body. The role of zinc, among others, to improve the body’s development, intelligence, strengthen the immune system, improve eye health, growth, cell division and regeneration, and others. Zinc is an essential trace element in the brain, there are plenty of fish, meat, eggs and other animal products, the kernel of the apricot seeds and fruit tree. Zinc is now widely consumed in supplement form.
- Honey
The protein is one of the essential nutrients immune system. And honey is a food source of protein that is capable of maintaining the resistance when they meet regularly every day. Honey can help the energy shortage experienced by many proteins that children and babies. Honey contains an antibiotic effective against attacks by pathogens causing various diseases. Some infectious diseases of different pathogens “can be cured” and honey checked regularly, including disorders of the stomach and the channel penpencernaanan, skin diseases, acute respiratory infections (ARI), cough and fever, diseases of the heart, liver, lung and disease, eye involved, ears and nerves. (Peter C. Molan, 1992).
- Omega 3
Fish oil is one of the nutrients for the health beneficial fatty acid-rich because it contains about 25% of saturated fatty acids and 75% of unsaturated fatty acids. The polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish oil are the growth process of brain development (intelligence) and vision development and the immune system of infants and young children. Contains fish oil DHA and EPA, and Omega-3 combines known. The species of fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including salmon, tuna (bluefin, albacore and especially white) tuna, sardines, herring, mackerel and shellfish.
- Prebiotic
Probiotic bacteria can grow well in penpencernaanan system and prevent allergies in the body of the child. According to Dr. Zakiudin, eating very well in the prebiotic enhanced immunity, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. For if the unit of a good digestive immune system, the immune system is normally also be good. Outside his office the good bacteria, prebiotics can indirectly maintain a balanced body’s immune system while reducing the risk of allergies. Source prebiotics can be won, onions, bananas, garlic, honey and nuts in natural foods such as wheat. Some are in other forms or in the formula.
- Meniran
Meniran leaf extract or Phyllanthus niruri L, is an herb that a drug that has the active immune system immunodulator maximum performance of their duties or calls causes. This herb has become immune supplements for children.
- Calcium
Established by law on immunity against microbes and swallow many foreign objects into the body. In the process of killing an enemy from outside, the signal for the immune system was to capture the enemy is a calcium ion. Animal sources of calcium include shrimp, beef, egg yolk, fish and milk. Meanwhile, the plant sources of calcium include green vegetables such as broccoli, cassava, papaya and spinach. In addition, excess calcium in beans nuts, sesame seeds, almonds, soy and red.
- Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a very important role in the body, what can the resistance of the body against infections and speed up healing of wounds. Lead changes, the environment for health is not always in ideal conditions, so that the body has always been a good immune system. It is in the adequate intake of vitamin C.

There are few nutrients, known for eye development to promote and maintain optimal health of the eyes, namely:
Vitamin A
- Need to change light into electrical signals for processing in the brain and the lining of the cornea and conjunctiva to maintain growth.
- Vitamin A deficiency blindness begins at dusk, Bitot’s spots and can lead to blindness.
- Included in the milk, dairy products, eggs, green vegetables like spinach and orange fruits such as carrots.
Taurine
- Necessary for early development of the retina.
- Taurine deficiency can lead to retinitis pigmentosa.
- Found in meat, milk, but not on fruits and vegetables.
DHA and AA
- Required for visual acuity and visual perception in children aged 4-7 years.
- Lots contained in breast milk. Good sources of DHA are also found in fish oils and animal fats contain AA.

Our children are now living under the most pressure. Preparation and eager to interact with other children, undated, after school activities, more programming. It’s a whole has increased. And just like their parents, the children of today will release yoga help create it relaxed.
Yoga for Kids
Learn Yoga for children, because I, like yoga helps develop a better understanding of the body discovered, self-control, flexibility and coordination. I also saw how you take these skills outside the classroom and in their daily lives.
These children want movement and sensory stimulation / engine. Yoga helps channel these impulses in a positive way. Yoga postures that seem particularly well are the warrior pose and tree pose. They help instill calm, confidence and balance. The trick is to go beyond the simple “do” attitude. I try to help you think about what this means, the attitudes that have become such attitudes. strong and confident like a warrior. I’m using is a partner to develop trust. Working with each of old attitudes, children develop a team. It also encourages the EU. When it comes to relaxation, some children have difficulty closing their eyes while others are not doing enough. I once had a 10-year-old wonder if we extra-long session of relaxation Arthur Arthur Ashe wanted more time to relax. A technique that promotes relaxation is visualization. At first, you have focused on abdominal breathing, and listen to soft music. I ask you to imagine the beach, enjoy your favorite sport or other activities, they said. At the end of relaxation exercises to encourage children to share their own experiences. Another approach is a guided visualization or story with a calming theme of creating a kind. In this case you can ask them to imagine walking in a green pasture. “Note the beautiful trees and butterflies fly,” I can say.
“Can you feel the fresh air. Listen to the Blue Jays to ask their colleagues.” The idea is to convey a sense of peace and a sense of oneness with nature. In class, I also try to encourage the participation of children. In particular, integrate their ideas and issues simple approach to learning Setit My hope is that most teachers choose to offer Yoga Yoga classes for children. It is our dharma to teach children the meaning of the union of mind, body and spirit. There is a wealth of knowledge, we can offer our children the practice of yoga. The song is simple OM light their faces and smile.

child’s growth can be seen from the child’s growth and can also be viewed from the food provided. the food given to children should have the nutrients that balance.
As for compliance with food and child nutrition at an early age are necessary to support the development of the child, including physical growth, brain development, development of intelligence and social maturity.
The diet is very important for growth and optimal development of children in order to examine the quantity and quality sufficient nutrients are macro-nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins and fats other than those of other micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that help chip for a child as DHA, choline and prebiotics. Therefore, in this case, the role of the mother is very important in providing adequate nutrition for your baby.
The mother must be smart, to regulate the supply of nutrients for your child can move your child, even if to drive the food. The age of one year was the first time that children become familiar with a variety of foods, because children of this age tend to passively accept, food, as it has always been his most varied .
After 6 months breast milk (breastfeeding) mothers should exclusively introduce other solid foods, mothers need to be patient when I was a bit difficult to eat, try to find the cause. Mothers also need to be creative, to try foods more tasty and attractive, and not used to get baby food with taste.
Some of the causes of eating disorder in childrean are eating lots of snacks for children lazy or a snack before eating the rice can be presented with the menu, bored, or may have worms or other diseases. It could also be caused by the consumption of healthy parents, who get used to not eating and outside for children, food outside the home or restaurant.
To solve this problem is not with multivitamins, but a varied diet, reducing sweets, and you immediately to sick or ask your pediatrician suspect.
