IMFed has Solutions to our Child's Feeding Difficulties

Being a mom is one of the many challenges of a woman especially when it comes to our children's eating habits.  Because their feeding behavior can affect their optimal growth, development and immunity.

Studies show that 6 out of 10 mothers report that their children have feeding difficulties.  

And those feeding difficulties in young children are often overlooked and therefore remain under-diagnosed. We, parents often misdiagnose the problem and simply pass it off as picky eating and / or fussy eating.

Feeding Difficulties is more than just a phase: 

Feeding difficulties effect may last up to 11 years of a child’s life and children with severe and prolonged feeding difficulties may experience impaired growth and low nutrient intake which result in physical and cognitive problems if not reversed.

Dr. Rita Paz Rowena A. De Guzman

"Feeding difficulties can be severe enough to impact on growth and nutrient intake, so it is important not only to address the eating behavior but also to provide adequate calories and nutrients to children as part of their management," said Dr. Rita Paz Rowena A. De Guzman, Fellow and Board Member, Philippine Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

The most common nutrients lacking in a child with feeding difficulties include Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Iron and Zinc. In order for a child to reach their optimum growth potential they require these essential nutrients as well as adequate calories.

Feeding difficulties can have potential risks like Impaired growth, compromised Immune System and lower development scores.

The First Man I Ever Loved!

My sister has been bugging me to start my blog. And now that I’ve finally got the perfect chance, I want to write something about “The First Man I Ever Loved.”

Though I’m all grown up now, and already have a husband and kids. There’s this one man who never left my mind and my heart, a man who occupied a big part of my life, the first man who ever loved me, my father. Sadly, I don’t have his picture with me, but his face is tattooed on my mind, and his memories will be a lifetime treasure.
