5 Tanda Anak Mommies Sudah Bersedia Untuk Makan

-

 

Pemberian makanan kepada si kecil perlu diberi perhatian yang mendalam supaya ia tepat pada masa, mencukupi, selamat dan sesuai untuk dimakan. Bayi terutamanya yang berusia bawah 6 bulan digalakkan untuk minum susu ibu kerana ia berperanan penting untuk tumbesaran bayi.

Namun, apabila sudah menjangkau usia enam bulan ke atas, bayi sudah boleh diperkenalkan dengan makanan tambahan. Hal ini kerana, susu ibu sudah tidak cukup untuk menampung keperluan nutrisi yang diperlukan bayi untuk terus berkembang.

Haa...mesti Mommies dah teruja nak bagi anak-anak makan kan? Sebelum itu, kenali dahulu tanda-tanda yang menunjukkan anak Mommies sudah bersedia untuk makan.

Tanda-tanda Bayi Sudah Bersedia Untuk Makan

Menurut pakar, terdapat dua faktor yang membuktikan kesediaan anak untuk menerima makanan baru untuknya iaitu:

  • Pematangan sistem saraf dan otak kanak-kanak.
  • Kesediaan saluran gastrousus (GIT) bayi.

Mommies boleh mula bersedia untuk memperkenalkan makanan tambahan kepada bayi apabila kedua-dua faktor itu bertepatan dengan masa.

Disarankan untuk memberi makanan yang mempunyai tekstur yang cair, lembut atau saring, seperti bubur buah, bubur susu atau bubur nasi sayuran yang dihaluskan. 

Bayi mungkin akan menunjukkan petanda seperti:

Mampu mengawal gerakan kepala: Bayi mampu mengawal gerakan kepada dengan sendiri tanpa bantuan

Peningkatan berat badan: berat badan bayi meningkat 2x ganda selepas kelahirannya. Sekiranya bayi dilahirkan secara pramatang, berat badannya harus melebihi berat kelahiran 2.5 kali

Mampu mengunyah: Mulut dan lidah bayi akan berkembang selari dengan perubahan usia. Sebelum memperkenalkan makanan pepejal kepada bayi, mereka perlu tahu cara menggerakkan makanan ke dalam mulut sebelum menelan. Mommies akan mendapati bahawa air liur bayi tidak lagi meleleh apabila bayi sudah terbiasa dengan makanan pepejal.

Berminat untuk makan: Bayi menunjukkan minat untuk mula makan apabila mereka memasukkan tangan ke dalam mulut dan mengunyahnya, memberi respon dan membuka mulut apabila disuap makanan dan sentiasa menginginkan sesuatu untuk dimakan walaupun sudah diberikan lapan atau sepuluh penyusuan ibu atau susu formula dalam sehari.

Tertarik dengan makanan Mommies: Keadaan ini boleh dikenalpasti apabila bayi mula menarik atau meminta makanan tambahan. Selain itu, apabila mereka mula menjangkau tangan untuk mengambil makanan di pinggan Mommies.

Dalam usaha memperkenalkan makanan pepejal kepada bayi, terdapat banyak aspek yang perlu dititikberatkan. Ia bergantung kepada keperluan bayi dan juga Mommies sendiri. Jika bayi terlalu muda dari usia yang sepatutnya, disarankan untuk membuat rundingan dengan pakar pediatrik supaya dapat merancang menu masa depannya dengan betul.
