For adults who had normal stools is every day but not for babies. Toilet pattern every baby is different. There’s a Toilet frequency magnitude 5-6 times a day but there is also a once every two days. So, if your child is not in the stools 2-3 days most likely he’s just lack of fiber. But if it exceeded the three day Mother should immediately take him to the doctor.

By the time children grow and develop from infants to toddlers, we often face the dilemma. Their nutritional needs increase, but instead decrease appetite. Obviously this is worrying, because we all know that food is essential for growth and development.
Hard time eating is normal part infancy. At this age, their growth is not as fast as a baby. Added weight also decreased. Plus, they also started to become active. They often can not be silent, let alone to eat. Ways to help them eat can vary but give them a “snack” healthy throughout the day is better than forcing them to eat three times a day on a regular basis with large portions.
Infants and children from ages 1-3 years old require about 1000-1300 calories per day. To meet this need, it’s better if we let them choose their own way of eating. What is important is that we prepare a healthy diet and appropriate for them. They often prefer to eat only one food a lot, and because this is normal, we better have a goal to give them a balanced nutritional meals per-week rather than per-day.
Another way is to give them something to eat at a table and chairs for children, where their feet do not have to rely on a chair hanging like an adult. Maybe sitting at a table and chairs for children are not comfortable for us, but for the small, they would prefer to eat if their feet could hit the floor and they felt they could control their dinner table.
Also, give them food with small portions. At the age of the children, they have not been able to eat normal portions like we are adults. We can also ask his brother, or older friends to eat with them. Toddlers want to imitate the older kids and when he saw a friend or sister to eat, he would be interested in eating well.
They can also be asked to menyicipi at least one or two bites of food. In this way, without forcing, they can try on different types of food so we know what food they prefer. However, make sure the foods that we provide is healthy food, like vegetables and fruits instead of sugary snacks that high can damage their body organ development.
And of course, to ensure adequate nutritional needs of children in times of trouble eat this, complete with giving them two to three glasses of milk a nutritious complete and balanced. With this, we meet nutritional needs but without making them increasingly refusing food because it felt too forced.

Having optimal brain function, especially in terms of memory, is a dream for every parent to their child. More than 40 years ago, research has found a link between brain function and various nutrients in food. This relationship has been happening since the fetus is in mother’s womb. One of the important nutrients is choline.
In the body, choline is important as the main composition of the membrane of normal cells as well as maintains the integrity of cell membranes in biological processes, such as flow / stimulus information, intracellular communication, and bioenergy. Moreover, choline can also help the normal function of the brain through the establishment of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is the form of choline compounds which play an important role in brain function.
Acetylcholine is a chemical compound which acts on the process of storage and recall of memory, attention, or concentration of a person. The more acetylcholine is synthesized, the more that is released into the nerve so that the better memory and attention processes
Brain development in children has been started since the fetus is in the womb. Therefore, adequate choline intake must be considered in pregnant women or nursing mothers. This was due in at the moment is a critical time to get the baby’s brain development is the best memory.
To ensure availability of adequate choline in the newborn, nature has arranged a number of ways including through the placenta and breast milk (breast milk). During pregnancy, the amount of choline in the mother’s body reserves decreased due to be distributed to the fetus through the placenta.
The number of choline in the placenta to reach 14 times higher than the amount of choline in the blood. The purpose of choline accumulation in the placenta is to ensure the availability of choline to the fetus.
During breastfeeding, choline from the mother will also be released into breast milk. The number of choline in breast milk can reach 100 times the amount of choline in maternal blood. Therefore, breast-fed babies will get the amount of choline are sufficient for the development of brain cells function as memory centers. This is in line with the goal of exclusive breastfeeding program announced by the government with the aim to arouse the nation so that more mothers want to breastfeed their babies.
Adequate choline intake on each person differs according to age. On average as much as 550 milligrams of adult male / day, women 425 mg / day, whereas in infants and children are fewer in number again. If choline intake is very excessive (> 3.5 g / day) would be symptoms of low blood pressure, nausea, and diarrhea. Conversely, choline deficiency on the circumstances, there will be disturbances in liver function.
Although choline can be synthesized by the body itself, in certain circumstances the body can also experience choline deficiency. To prevent the occurrence of choline deficiency in pregnant women, nursing mothers, as well as healthy adults, should be given additional food or supplements containing choline high as egg yolks, milk, beans, chicken and beef liver, pork, beef, shrimp, soybean and wheat kernel. Moreover, choline can also be found in potatoes, peas, cauliflower, oats, sesame seeds and flaxseeds and green leafy vegetables.
