Los tres primeros años de vida se presentan como una etapa de transición entre la fase de crecimiento muy rápido, propia del lactante, y el periodo de crecimiento estable, que se extiende desde los tres años hasta el comienzo de la pubertad. Éste es un periodo madurativo en el cual el niño realiza avances importantes en la adquisición de funciones psicomotoras, al tiempo que sus funciones digestivas y metabólicas van alcanzando un grado de madurez suficiente para aproximar su alimentación a la del niño mayor. Sin embargo, un niño no se convierte de inmediato en un adulto, sus necesidades energéticas y de determinados nutrientes aconsejan ajustar la dieta a sus particularidades fisiológicas, no precisa de normas rígidas y es preciso adaptar e individualizar la dieta ajustándola a la propia constitución y costumbres del niño. Hay que poner especial cuidado en la conducta alimenticia del niño que aún pequeño está sujeta a determinadas aversiones ypreferencias, lo que puede conducir en ocasiones a una dieta carente de algunos nutrientes. Las primeras etapas de la vida son fundamentales para que el individuo forme todo su sistema inmunitario y para evitarle la patología secundaria a una nutrición incorrecta.

1. Asegurar un crecimiento y desarrollo óptimos.

Preguntas y respuestas:

P: ¿Qué alimentos se recomiendan para los niños en sus primeros años de vida?

R: La leche materna es el mejor alimento para que el lactante crezca y se desarrolle con salud. Durante los seis primeros meses de vida se debe alimentar al lactante exclusivamente con leche materna, para que su crecimiento, desarrollo y salud sean óptimos. Pasados esos seis meses, deben introducirse alimentos complementarios adecuados e inocuos, combinados con la lactancia materna hasta los dos años como mínimo.

Los alimentos complementarios deben ser ricos en nutrientes y deben administrarse en cantidades suficientes. Los cuidadores deben empezar a introducir esos alimentos a los seis meses en pequeñas cantidades, aumentando gradualmente la proporción a medida que crezca el niño. Los niños pequeños deben recibir alimentos variados, incluidos productos cárnicos, pescado y huevos, con la mayor frecuencia posible. Los lactantes pueden comer alimentos en forma de puré, triturados y semisólidos a partir de los 6 meses; a partir de los 8 meses se puede dar a la mayoría de los niños diversos alimentos que se pueden comer con la mano, y a partir de los 12 meses pueden comer en general los mismos productos que el resto de la familia. Los alimentos deben tener una consistencia apropiada para la edad del niño. Los alimentos complementarios deben administrarse unas 2-3&nsbps;veces al día entre los 6 y 8 meses, aumentando a 3-4 veces al día entre los 9 meses y los 11 meses. Entre los 12 y los 23 meses se les debe dar de comer unas 3&nsbps;o 4 veces al día. Y dependiendo del apetito que tengan se pueden añadir 1 o 2 refrigerios nutritivos entre comidas.

Además de proporcionar una variedad y cantidad adecuadas de

alimentos con la frecuencia idónea, es importante que los cuidadores demuestren sensibilidad al alimentar al niño. Esto es, deben alimentar a los lactantes directamente y ayudar a los niños más mayores cuando coman por sí solos; darles de comer despacio y con paciencia y alentarles a comer, pero sin forzarlos; cuando se nieguen a comer, se probarán diferentes combinaciones de alimentos. La hora de comer debe ser un momento de aprendizaje y amor: un momento para hablar con los niños y tener contacto visual con ellos.

Estas son las recomendaciones de la Estrategia Mundial para la Alimentación del Lactante y del Niño Pequeño, elaborada conjuntamente por la OMS y el UNICEF Ins.

Questions and answers.

Q: What foods are recommended for children in their early years?

A: Breast milk is the best food for the baby to grow and develop healthy. During the first six months of life the infant should be fed exclusively on breast milk for their growth, development and health are optimal. After those six months, adequate and safe complementary foods should be introduced, combined with breastfeeding for at least two years.

Complementary foods should be rich in nutrients and should be given in sufficient quantities. Caregivers should begin to introduce those foods at six months in small amounts, gradually increasing rate as the child grows. Young children should receive a variety of foods, including meat products, fish and eggs as often as possible. Infants can eat pureed food, mashed and semi-solid from 6 months; from 8 months can be given to most children various foods that can be eaten by hand, and after 12 months can usually eat the same products that the rest of the family. Food should have a consistency suitable for the child's age. Complementary foods should be given about 2-3 & nsbps; twice daily between 6 and 8 months, increasing to 3-4 times daily between 9 & nsbps, and 11 months. Between 12 and 23 months should be given to eat & nsbps about 3, or 4 times a day. And depending on the appetite they have can add 1 or 2 & nsbps, nutritious snacks between meals.

In addition to providing adequate variety and quantity of food at the proper frequency, it is important for caregivers to demonstrate sensitivity to feed the child. That is, should feed infants directly and assist older children when they eat alone; feed them slowly and patiently and encourage them to eat, but not forced; when they refuse to eat different food combinations were tested. Mealtime should be a time of learning and love: a moment to talk with children and make eye contact with them.

These are the recommendations of the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child, jointly developed by WHO and UNICEF ins
