obavezno provjeriti kad integralne zitarice
možeš ti?
nisi ali sam srećom krenula u tom smjeru ionako!apricot prvotno napisa
zar ti nisam na mailu rekla da tražiš korjenasto: mrjve, rotkve, cikle, peršine, celere...
tek sam krenula i ovo su službeno izjavili u 'American Academy of Pediatrics'
da se slažemo i ne. ali to je njihova službena izjava iz neke studije o nitratima u vodi pogotovo u vodi iz bunara.
ananas , kivi , dinja , zob ( tipa pahuljica ) , ječmena kaša , heljda , med .
O medu sam naišla na različita stajališta a totalno suprotna .
apricot imaš pp.
Ako stogod jos stogod treba prevoditi sa/na engleski jezik, ja se dobrovoljno javljam. Nisam prof., ali radim prijevode vec neko vrijeme, pa ako treba...

Cooking
When using carrots as a baby food, it is essential to peel them first, as the immature digestive system that infants possess is unable to digest the peel. Also, another good reason to first peel the carrot is that unless it is organic, the concentration of chemicals used in it's farming is highest in the skin.
Steaming is the best method to cook carrots, as this allows the all important beta carotene to be absorbed to it's highest potential.
[edit] Age for introduction
Due to a high concentration of nitrates present, carrots should only be introduced into an infants diet at 7-8 months of age.

itrate content of carrots in baby formulas (author's transl)]
[Article in German]
Stolley H, Schlage C, Droese W.
The nitrate content of carrots and of commercial processed carrot formulas for infants was examined. Fresh and canned carrots were found to contain between 40 and 850 mg NO3/kg carrot. Processed infant foods made of carrots contained between 55 and 215 mg NO3/kg of the ready-to-serve food. It is suggested not to recommend household preparation of carrots for healthy and diseases infants during their first months of life. It is questioned whether the legal limit of 250 mg NO3/kg is really safe for carrot preparations used in feeding infants during their first months of life.
pa dalje.. o nitratima u hrani
LINK
Commercial baby foods with nitrate levels higher than 45 ppm include mixed vegetables, bananas, carrots, garden vegetables, spinach, green beans, and beets. The amount of nitrate in one 113-g (4 oz) jar of beets, for example, is equivalent to the amount of nitrate in nearly 5.5 L of water at 45 ppm nitrate. CONCLUSIONS: A controlled clinical trial is needed to clarify how consuming high-nitrate foods correlates with methemoglobin levels in infants younger than 6 months
pa nadalje- zašto su nitrati i nitriti štetni djeci
LINK
An ion chromatographic method was developed for the determination of nitrate and nitrite in vegetable and fruit baby foods. The introduction of nitrate or nitrite to food may be natural or artificial as a preservative. Because of the higher pH found in babies' stomachs, nitrate can act as a reservoir for the production of nitrite by nitrate-reducing bacteria that can be harbored in the intestinal tract. This problem does not exist in adults because of the lower pH of the adult stomach. Exposure to nitrite by infants can result in methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome). There are also indications that carcinogenic nitrosamines can be formed from nitrates at the higher pH. These gastric conditions disappear at approximately 6 months of age.
Mrkva sakuplja teške metale iz zemlje tako da je u biti više štetna nego korisna ako nije sigurno iz kojeg je izvora. Tako nekako uče na agronomskom fakultetu. Možete njima poslati upit, i onima na pbf-u. Vjerojatno ne znaju kada se što može jesti, ali imaju potrebne informacije o tome kako se što razgrađuje i koja hrana sadrži ono što bebama treba (ili ne treba). Mogu pitati seku kome se točno trebate obratiti.
A internet kao pouzdan izvor informacija mi je malo :/
da sam nasla dva pouzdana izvora s istom info, ne bi pitala
ok, pitat ćemo
Apricot, sorry tek sam vidjela...trazim...hocu i prevesti?
nadam se da nije kasno
nije kasno, ma kakvi!
imamo dva tjedna da prikupimo što više podataka.
onda ih šaljem na reviziju doktorici koja je stvarno autoritet po pitanju dohrane n ovim prostorima.
i to je najviše što mi sada možemo učiniti.
naravno d ćemo uvijek pronalaziti oprečna mišljenja i savjete, ali negdje se granica mora povući.
uostalom, kako rekosmo nekoliko puta, tablice nisu u kamenu uklesane niti služe da ih se slijepo držimo. One su nekakvi vodiči, pomoć na putu ka raznovrsnim jelovnicima.
može li se znati ime te doktorice?
naravno, pisat će joj ime na popisu recenzenata.
ok, hvala, pričekat ću popis recenzenata
nakon dva dana guglanja samo ovo

tablice koje sam usput nasla kazu da slanutak i druge mahunarke treba davati nakon godinu dana. isto pise i u OKUS LJUBAVI, Brošura o dojenju i dohrani (2005) str. 15 i kod JBP koja ju navodu o odjeljku od 10 do 12 mjProtein is important for maintaining tissue and growth. It is made of amino acids and whilst the body makes much of the needed proteins itself, the rest must come from the food we eat. Vegetarians can get protein from animal products such as dairy and eggs. Vegans must eat plant sources of protein which can be just as good as meat sources. Some such sources include:
• Seeds (eg. pumpkin, sesame, sunflower)
• Pulses and beans (eg. soy, kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils)
• Nuts (eg. almonds, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, peanuts (which are actually legumes)
• Wholegrains (eg. wholemeal bread/pasta, oats, wholegrain rice)

Chickpeas are a helpful source of zinc, folate and protein.[11][12] They are also very high in dietary fiber and hence a healthy source of carbohydrates for persons with insulin sensitivity or diabetes. Chickpeas are low in fat and most of this is polyunsaturated.
One hundred grams of mature boiled chickpeas contains 164 calories, 2.6 grams of fat (of which only 0.27 grams is saturated), 7.6 grams of dietary fiber and 8.9 grams of protein. Chickpeas also provide dietary calcium (49-53 mg/100 g), with some sources citing the garbanzo's calcium content as about the same as yogurt and close to milk.

Fish is an important food with growing evidence of
potential benefit. However, consumers may have difficulty
in distinguishing among several health messages
about fish consumption. Although strong data associate
cardiovascular disease prevention with increased fish
consumption, there are also concerns about potential
polycarbonate phenols (PCBs) and mercury contamination.
21,22 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
AHA stress that seafood is an important part of a healthy
diet and advocate consumption of a wide variety of
fish and shellfish. Current FDA recommendations with
regard to limiting fish intake pertain to women who
may become pregnant or are already pregnant, nursing
mothers, and young children. The FDA recommends
that people in those categories avoid shark, swordfish,
king mackerel, and tilefish because they contain high
levels of mercury. Five of the most commonly eaten
varieties of fish are low in mercury (shrimp, canned light
tuna, salmon, pollack, and catfish). The AHA continues
to recommend 2 servings of fish weekly.23
http://aappolicy.aappublications.org...;117/2/544.pdf
The methylmercury content of fish varies by species
and size of fish and harvest location. The top 10
commercial fish species (canned tuna, shrimp, pollock,
salmon, cod, catfish, clams, flatfish, crabs, and
scallops), which represent about 85% of the seafood
market, contain a mean mercury level of approximately
0.1 mg/g. Methylmercury has been used as a
fungicide on seed grains and is also an industrial
waste. When grain accidentally treated with a mercury
fungicide was eaten by people in Iraq during a
famine in the 1970s, mercury poisoning occurred in
hundreds of people.18

imam i ja problem kao momo. teško je naći informacije kada nešto početi dati djeci prvi put
evo da se i ja malo upetljam za slanutak i lecu kazu da su jaki alergeni narocito kod ljudi u mediteranskom podrucju. evo jedan sazetak, na zalost ne mogu for free doci do cijelog rada
dakle, leca i slanutak po ovome sto kasnijeClinical features of legume allergy in children from a Mediterranean area
BACKGROUND: Lentils, chickpeas, beans, and peas are the most common consumed legumes in the Mediterranean area. However, there is little information about allergy to these legumes. OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinical features of a Spanish pediatric population allergic to legumes (lentils, chickpeas, peas, white beans, and peanuts), to evaluate the clinical allergy to several legumes, and to determine which legume extract is most appropriate to use in the diagnosis of legume allergy by skin tests. METHODS: Fifty-four children with allergic reactions after exposure to legumes were studied. The diagnosis of legume allergy was confirmed by positive skin prick test results with legume extracts and food challenges or a recent convincing history of severe reactions. RESULTS: The onset of allergic reactions was at approximately the age of 2 years (median, 22 months). Skin prick test results were positive for at least 3 legumes in 38 children (70%). Positive results were more frequent to boiled extracts than to raw extracts in children with a positive oral challenge. Allergy to lentil was the most frequently diagnosed legume allergy (43 children [80%]), followed by allergy to chickpea (32 children [59%]). Oral challenges with more than 1 legume (median, 3 legumes) were positive in 37 children (69%). The most frequent induced symptoms on challenge were respiratory (rhinitis and/or asthma) and cutaneous. CONCLUSION: In this population, lentils and chickpeas are the legumes that cause most allergic reactions, clinical allergy to more than 1 legume is common, and boiled legume extracts are most appropriate to discriminate between allergic and tolerant sensitized children.
spajalica zanimljivo - ne bi se tome nadala iskreno receno pogotovo sto u Spanjolskoj jako puno jedu i lecu i slanutak ja sam se tamo naucila jesti slanutak.
Apricot, da prevedemo i ovo kao dodatak vec prevedenim info o slanutku?
Allergy to sesame seed in
infants
Y. Levy*, Y. L. Danon
Key
zakljucak je da ne kopiram cijeli clanak:
Our fndings indicate that allergy to
sesame seed is increasing in infants and
small children; therefore, sesame seed
should be added to the list of allergenic
foods in the frst year of life. Elimination of
sesame seed from the diet should be
considered in infants with atopic dermatitis
or atopic family history.
škampe,kozice, lignje, hobotnica,školjke i sl.
naravno sve friško ulovljeno.one smrznute stvari se ni ja nikada nisam usudila probati.
nadam se da je u pitanju prof.dr.sc.Sanja Kolaček, inače ...može li se znati ime te doktorice?
ako smijem sugerirati,svi podaci koji su stariji od 2008.god. neće biti up to date,zato što su se u siječnju 2008.god.revidirale smjernice
inače, što?nadam se da je u pitanju prof.dr.sc.Sanja Kolaček, inače ...može li se znati ime te doktorice?
doktoricu koju smo odabrale nam je sugeriralo Hrvatsko pedijatrijsko društvo.
inače nije najjači autoritet na tom području,kako si ti negdje napisala da je.inače, što?nadam se da je u pitanju prof.dr.sc.Sanja Kolaček, inače ...može li se znati ime te doktorice?
doktoricu koju smo odabrale nam je sugeriralo Hrvatsko pedijatrijsko društvo.
ne znam.
ako dobijem preporuku i taj "termin" od HPD-a, ne znam tko bi mi drugi bio "referentnija" točka i mjerodavnije mišljenje :?
a te revidirane smjernice na primjer kažu da djetetu možete dati jaje odmah na početku dohrane osim ako u obitelji nema alergičnih na jaje. i kažu još puno toga što se vrlo razlikuje od onoga što možemo pročitati na ovom pdf u.
neki pedijatri, nutricionisti i drugi liječnici nisu skloni ovim novim preporukama pa će ipak savjetovati da se ne požuruje s jajem i drugim potencijalnim alergenima a s druge strane, neke uopće nije briga za ikakve preporuke pa će tako bez problema savjetovati početak dohrane s 4. mjeseca. a i jedni i drugi mogu biti članovi hrvatskog pedijatrijskog društva.
Upravo to me i najvise smeta...Toliko je informacija sa svih strana i toliko se razlikuju...a svi su kao kompetentni i imaju pravo
onda se lijepo uzdaš u svoju logiku i intuiciju i gotovo.
pa svi tako i radimo.

http://myhomemadebabyfood.blogspot.c...s-parsnip.html
Parsnips can be given to your baby during stage 1 or as a first food puree. Parsnips can be steamed, boiled, or roasted. You may need to cook them longer for small babies for easy pureeing, but older babies that can chew can enjoy this vegetable a little crispier by cutting down on cooking time. Shortening the duration of the cooking time also helps preserve vitamin C.
Nutritional Value
The parsnip is richer in many vitamins and minerals than its close relative the carrot. It is particularly rich in potassium with 600 mg per 100 g. Parsnip is also a good source of dietary fiber. 100 g of parsnip contains 55 Calories (230 kJ) energy.
http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/par...oodrecipes.htm
Parsnips (1 cup steamed/boiled)
VITAMINS:
Vitamin A - 0 IU
Vitamin C - 20.3 mg
Niacin - 1.1 mg
Folate - 90 mcg
Thiamine - .12 mg

da se nadovežem sve to korjenasto je riskantno zbog nitrata ali je jako nezgodno započinjati dohranu zimi. moj je jeo mrkvu dosta rano i uveli smo ciklu baš jučer. sve severovo. sve se nadam da nema toliko nitrata.
a ti si se baš navukla!
nećemo toliko ići u detalje, ne može Roda knjigu pisati. 8)
kako rekoh, išli bismo na grupe namirnica, tipa:
koštunjičavo voće, bobičasto voće, bezglutenske žitarice, žitarice s glutenima, arašidi, mahunarke, lisnato povrće, glavičasto povrće, agrumi, gomoljasto povrće, korjenasto povrće...
i tak...
pa dobro, zaključak bi kod korjenastog bio paziti zbog nitrata i onda kad se dječji pH u želucu promijeni i nitrati i nitriti nisu toliko opasni jer se mogu probaviti (uništiti/neutralizitrati??) se mogu jesti. a to bi bilo cca 8 mjeseci. neću više
ma super su mi ta tvoja istraživanja.
na kraju dovedu do zaključka koji stane u jednu rečenicu, a TO nam treba :D
da sažmem ono što sam našla (bome nije lako naći vjerodostojne podatke na netu :/ )
južno voće (kao kategorija) - po mojoj procjeni 10 mjeseci jer:
avokado, banana - 6 mjeseci
nektarine, mango - 8 mjeseci
kivi, papaja - 10 mjeseci
citrusi: 10-12 mjeseci
nisu alergeni ali su kiseli pa mogu uzrokovati kiselu stolicu i tako pelenski osip. isto tako se može javiti i osip na drugim djelovima tijela (koji doduše nije opasan :/ ). e da, i uzrokuju pečenje u želucu. dakle, moja procjena, i dalje godinu dana. IAKO, na više mjesta sam našla da dodavanje malo soka od, npr. naranče u voćnu kašicu nije štetno (ali je to samo MALO i to samo PONEKAD, od 8 mjeseci...)
našla sam i sljedeću tablicu (koja sad doduše više nije tablica) koja bi mogla biti i korisna i zanimljiva. nabraja koji se vitamini, minerali i ostalo nalaze u kojoj namirnici i za što ti isti služe. Na engleskom je, ako treba, prevedem

Ditch the rice cereal and mashed peas, and make way for enchiladas, curry and even - gasp! - hot peppers.
It's time to discard everything you think you know about feeding babies. It turns out most advice parents get about weaning infants onto solid foods, even from pediatricians, is more myth than science.
That's right, rice cereal may not be the best first food. Peanut butter doesn't have to wait until after the first birthday. Offering fruits before vegetables won't breed a sweet tooth. And strong spices? Bring 'em on.
"There's a bunch of mythology out there about this," says Dr. David Bergman, a Stanford University pediatrics professor. "There's not much evidence to support any particular way of doing things."
Word of that has been slow to reach parents and the stacks of baby books they rely on to navigate this often intimidating period of their children's lives. But that may be changing.
As research increasingly suggests a child's first experiences with food shape later eating habits, doctors say battling obesity and improving the American diet may mean debunking the myths and broadening palates.
It's easier, and harder, than it sounds. Easier because experts say 6-month-olds can eat many of the same things their parents do. Harder because it's tough to find detailed guidance for nervous parents.
"Parents have lost touch with the notion that these charts are guides, not rules," says Rachel Brandeis of the American Dietetic Association. "Babies start with a very clean palate and it's your job to mold it."
It's easy to mistake that for a regimented process. Most parents are told to start rice cereal at 6 months, then slowly progress to simple vegetables, mild fruits and finally pasta and meat.
Ethnic foods and spices are mostly ignored by the guidelines and parents are warned of potential allergens such as nuts and seafood for at least a year.
Yet experts say children older than 6 months can handle most anything, with a few caveats: Be cautious if you have a family history of allergies; introduce one food at a time and watch for any problems; and make sure the food isn't a choking hazard.
Parents elsewhere in the world often start babies on heartier, more flavorful fare, from meats in African countries to fish and radishes in Japan and artichokes in France.
The difference is cultural, not scientific, says Dr. Jatinder Bhatia, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' nutrition committee who says the American approach suffers from a Western bias that fails to reflect the nation's ethnic diversity.
How to introduce healthy children to solid food has rarely been studied. Even the federal government has given it little attention; dietary guidelines apply only to children 2 and older.
In a review of the research, Nancy Butte, a pediatrics professor at Baylor College of Medicine, found that many strongly held assumptions - such as the need to offer foods in a particular order or to delay allergenic foods - have little scientific basis.
Take rice cereal, for example. Under conventional American wisdom, it's the best first food. But Butte says iron-rich meat, often one of the last foods American parents introduce, would be a better choice.
Dr. David Ludwig of Children's Hospital Boston, a specialist in pediatric nutrition, says some studies suggest rice and other highly processed grain cereals actually could be among the worst foods for infants.
"These foods are in a certain sense no different from adding sugar to formula" and could contribute to later health problems, including obesity, he says.
And bring on the spices. Science is catching up with the folklore that babies in the womb and those who are breast-fed taste, and develop a taste for, whatever mom eats. So experts say that if mom enjoys loads of oregano, baby might, too.
da dodam. sve što vrijedi za citruse vrijedi i za rajčicu...
i hvala tropical na ovom linku www.wholesomebabyfood.com baš mi je super
jel mozda gotova ta brosurica i ako je gdje bi se mogla nabaviti?
gotova je, ali neće ići zasebno nego u sklupu priručnika Iz Rodina kljuna
bit će za koji dan i na Portalu
super,a gdje se takav prirucnik moze nabaviti za nas koji nismo iz zg?
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I mene zanima gdje se ta knjizica moze naci????
budući da tiskanje priručnika financira Grad Zagreb, dobivaju ga samo rodilje zagrebačkih rodilišta.
dio o dohrani će uskoro biti na Portalu, nadam se da će vam nešto značiti.
