Ukuqala izinto eziqinile kungase kubonakale kunzima kumzali omusha (noma ngisho umzali wesibili noma wesithathu!), ikakhulukazi uma ugcwele ulwazi olungqubuzanayo mayelana nokuthi kwenziwani, nini, futhi kanjani.

Ungase uzibuze izinto ezifana nokuthi:

• Ingabe kufanele ngethule okusanhlamvu kwerayisi okuqiniswe ngensimbi kuqala, NOMA inyama ebomvu njengoba kwenza umngane wami?
• Ingabe ama-purees angcono kakhulu, noma kufanele ngenze “ukulunyulwa okuholwa yingane” (ukudla kweminwe ethambile) esikhundleni salokho?
• Ingabe kufanele ngiqale ukudla okuqinile ezinyangeni ezine, noma izinyanga eziyisithupha?
• Kuthiwani ngamantongomane namaqanda amhlophe? Akumele ngilinde unyaka ukuze ngethule lezo ngoba zingezwani?

Ngiyakuzwa – kuyadida.

Ngenhlanhla, imihlahlandlela yase-Canada yokondliwa kwezinsana ibuyekeziwe muva nje ngezincomo ezisekela ucwaningo olusha nolungcono kakhulu esinalo mayelana nokondliwa kwezinsana kuze kube manje (futhi imihlahlandlela emisha yokondliwa kwezinsana yaseMelika izofakwa kuzinkombandlela zokudla ezibuyekeziwe zango-2020 zabantu baseMelika). Ngenxa yokuthi ungumzali omatasa futhi ungase ungabi naso isikhathi sokufunda yonke isethi yezinkombandlela, ngikugqamise okuyisisekelo, ngokweZiqondiso ezintsha zaseCanada.”

Ukuqala i-Solids 101:

Ukwethulwa nini okuqinile:

Kutuswa ukuthi ukudla kwangempela kwethulwe cishe izinyanga eziyisithupha ubudala, njengoba ubisi lwebele (kanye/noma ifomula) lunganikeza u-100% wokondleka kwengane kuze kube yileso sikhathi. I-WHO (World Health Organization) ilinganisela ukuthi ukudla okuqinile kunikeza cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezinhlanu zezidingo zamandla zomntwana kusukela ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili nangaphansi nje kwengxenye yamandla engane ayidingayo kusukela ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye kuya kwezingu-12. Ubisi lwebele kanye/noma ubisi lwebhodlela luzoqhubeka lunikeza inqwaba yezidingo zomsoco zengane yakho kuze kube unyaka owodwa.

Isikhathi sibalulekile. Awufuni ukuqala kusenesikhathi noma sekwephuze kakhulu. Kukhona ithuba "lendawo emnandi" cishe izinyanga eziyisithupha elibonakala kuyisikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokuqala okuqinile. Ukuze wazi ukuthi uzoqala nini ngempela phakathi kwale minyaka, kubalulekile ukunaka izinkomba zengane yakho futhi wethule okuqinile uma isilungile:

• Angakwazi ukuliphakamisa ikhanda lakhe yedwa: Ingane yakho kufanele ikwazi ukuhlala esihlalweni esiphakeme, isihlalo sokudla, noma isihlalo sosana esikwazi ukulawula ikhanda kahle futhi sikwazi ukuzibamba.
• Uvula umlomo wakhe lapho ukudla kufika ngendlela yakhe: Izingane zingase zilungele uma zikubuka udla, zifinyelela ukudla kwakho, futhi zibonakale zilangazelela ukudla.
• Angakwazi ukulawula ukudla kusuka ngokhezo kuya ngemuva komphimbo wakhe: Uma unikeza isipuni, bese esiphusha siphume emlonyeni bese siconsisela esilevini sakhe (ulimi lwenza i-reflex), angase angalungi okwamanje. Ungazama ukukuhlambulula izikhathi ezimbalwa zokuqala, bese ushubisa kancane kancane ukuthungwa, noma ungase futhi ufune ukulinda isonto elilodwa noma amabili bese uzama futhi.
• Mkhulu ngokwanele: Uma ingane yakho okungenani isiphinde kabili isisindo sayo sokuzalwa futhi inesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-13, ingase ilungele ukuqala okuqinile.

Kungani kungafanele uqale ngaphambi kwesikhathi noma sekwephuze kakhulu:

Ikhono lomntwana lokuphatha nokugwinya ngokuphepha ukudla okuqinile alikhuliswa ngaphambi kwezinyanga eziyisithupha (kodwa-ke, ezinye izingane sezilungile enyangeni yazo yesine neyesihlanu). Lokhu ngokwengxenye kungenxa yeqiniso lokuthi i-gag reflex yakhe ayikakhuli ngokugcwele, okumbeka engcupheni eyengeziwe yokuklinywa. Umgudu wakhe wokugaya ukudla nawo awukakhuli kuze kube seqophelweni lokukwazi ukugaya imisoco esekudleni kwangempela. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuqala ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha (ngaphandle kwalapho kucelwe udokotela wezingane) kungase kwenze ukushintshela ekudleni kwangempela kube inselele kakhulu futhi kudale izinkinga zokudla ezikhethiwe. Iphinde ibeke usana oluncela ibele engozini ye-anemia yokuntuleka kwensimbi. Yingakho ukudla okuqinile kwengane kokuqala kufanele kube nokucebile ngensimbi.

Ingabe ama-purees aseyindlela okufanele ahambe ngayo?

Ezinyangeni eziyisithupha, izingane eziningi sezilungele izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zokudla, kusukela ku-purees emincane kuya ekudleni okuthambile kweminwe. Kukumzali ngempela nezinga lakhe lokunethezeka. Ezinye izingane zincamela ukuphakelwa izipuni ekuqaleni, kuyilapho ezinye zincamela ukumba ukudla kweminwe ethambile khona lapho.

Ngenxa yokuthi izingane ezindadlana zikhula ngokushesha zinyakaze imihlathi ziye phezulu naphansi okuzenza zikwazi “ukumunca” (ngisho kungenamazinyo), akudingekile ukuthi uqale ngokudla okucolile (cabanga ukuthi okusanhlamvu okuncishiswe ubisi lwebele), njengoba kwakucatshangwa ngaphambilini. Eqinisweni, kungase kube nezinzuzo eziningi zokuqala nge-lumpier textures. Ukunikeza ukudla kweminwe ethambile kuzokhuthaza ukuzondleka ngokwakho (ukwelula isandla, ukubamba kanye nokugoqa ukudla), okusiza ekukhuleni kwemisipha yomlomo, futhi kuvumela izingane ukuba zilawule ngokugcwele ukuthi zidla kangakanani futhi ngaliphi izinga, ukusiza ngokuzidlela umthethonqubo kamuva.

Ungakwazi ukuhlola ukwakheka okuhlukahlukene (okunezigaqa, okuphekwe ngokuthambile futhi okugayiwe kahle, okuhlanzekile, okucubuziwe noma okugayiwe) ukuze ubone ukuthi yini ingane yakho encamela kangcono futhi uyiphakele izinhlobonhlobo zokuthungwa nsuku zonke. Ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalolunye, ingane yakho kufanele ibe idla ukudla okunhlobonhlobo kanye nendlela eyenziwe ngayo futhi ihlanganyele ekudleni komndeni! Ukudla komndeni kungase kudingeke ukuthi kushintshwe ukwakheka kwengane yakho (kudingeka kuthambe ngokwanele) futhi kungabi nezinongo ezingeziwe njengosawoti.

Phakathi kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili neziyi-12 ubudala, izingane ziba nokunyakaza kolimi eceleni, okuzenza zikwazi ukudla ukudla okuqinile nokudinga ukuhlafunwa.

Ukudla okuphephile kweminwe kuhlanganisa: izingcezu zemifino nezithelo eziphekwe ngokuthambile; izithelo ezithambile, ezivuthiwe njengobhanana; inyama egayiwe kahle, egayiwe noma egayiwe, inhlanzi ekhishwe amathambo nezinkukhu; ushizi ogayiwe; kanye namapheshana ethosi okusanhlamvu agcwele ungqimba oluncane lwebhotela noma ibhotela lamantongomane.

Izingozi zokuminyanisa:

Ukudla okuqinile, okuncane, okuyindilinga, kanye nokudla okuqinile okubushelelezi nokunamathelayo kungavimba indlela yokuphefumula yengane yakho. Kutuswa ukuthi ukudla okufana namaswidi aqinile, amaconsi okukhwehlela, inhlaka, amagilebhisi aphelele, uphophukhoni, ama-marshmallows, amantongomane, inhlanzi enamathambo, ama-hotdog namasoseji akunikezwe izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka emine. Qinisekisa ukuthi imifino eqinile efana nezaqathi igayiwe noma iyashiswa, imigodi iyasuswa ezithelweni, amagilebhisi anqunywa phakathi, ama-nut butters asakazwa kancane, futhi ukudla okunezintambo okunjengophayinaphu noma isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi kuqotshwa kahle.

Vumela ingane yakho ihole indlela:

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi ukuthungwa oqala ngakho, kubalulekile ukuvumela ingane yakho ihole. Lokhu kusho ukuthi, ukumvumela ukuthi aziphendle futhi adle ukuthi ufuna kangakanani (ngaphandle kokumncenga ukuba adle kakhulu noma athathe ukudla lapho engakuqedi), noma ukulalelisisa lokho akushoyo ngenkathi udla isipuni. Ingane yakho izokuvumela ukuba udle. yazi uma eqeda ukudla ngokuswayitha isipuni, afulathele ikhanda, avale uziphu ezindebeni zakhe, akhiphe ukudla, alahle ukudla, akhwince noma akhale. Ungamenzi adle ngaphezu kwalokho akufunayo. Izingane zizodla lapho zilambile futhi ziyeke lapho sezisuthi. Ukuhlonipha lezo zimo kungase kuzisize zigweme ukudla ngokweqile manje naphansi komgwaqo.

Kufanele ngiqale ngani?

Ukudla okunothe nge-ayoni kufanele kwethulwe zisuka nje, njengoba izidingo ze-ayoni zengane yakho zikhula ngalesi sikhathi. Izingane eziphakathi kwezinyanga eziyisithupha neziyi-12 ubudala kufanele zinikezwe ukudla okune-iron okungenani kabili ngosuku. Izingcezu ezithambile nezithambile zenyama noma egayiwe, inyama egayiwe noma egayiwe, inhlanzi ekhishwe amathambo, inyama yenkukhu, iqanda eliphekwe kahle, ubhontshisi, namalentili kuwukudla okuhle kokuqala. Ngokwesiko, okusanhlamvu okuqinile okuqiniswe ngensimbi okuncishiswe ngobisi lwebele noma ifomula kwakuwukudla okusagolide okujwayelekile kwengane. Nakuba kuseyinketho enhle, akuseyona inketho yokuqala yokudla.

Imifino nezithelo kungalandela, ngokungahleleki, kanye nokudla okusanhlamvu okuphelele, amantongomane emvelo namabhotela embewu kanye nemikhiqizo yobisi ehlutshiwe (ngaphandle kobisi lwenkomo oluwuketshezi). Phakathi kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye neziyi-12, kuphephile ukwethula ubisi lwenkomo olune-homogenized (olunesilinganiso esiphezulu esingu-750 mL ngosuku).

Kuthiwani ngokwethula izinto ezivamile ezingezwani nokudla?

Manje sesiyazi ukuthi ukubambezeleka kokwethulwa kwezifo ezivamile ezifana namaqanda, amantongomane nenhlanzi, akudingekile futhi kuphephile ukuzethula kusenezinyanga eziyisithupha, ngisho nasezinganeni ezisengozini enkulu yokungezwani nokudla. Eqinisweni, ukuchayeka kusenesikhathi ezintweni ezingezwani nezivamile kungase kuvimbele ukungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile!

Kufanele ngabe ngiyondla kangaki ingane yami?

Kusukela ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili, abazali kufanele kancane kancane basebenzele ukunikeza ukudla okuqinile kabili noma kathathu ngosuku (ngezikhathi zokudla), kanye nokudla okulula okukodwa kuya kwezimbili ngosuku, kuye ngokuthi ingane ithanda ukudla. Isifiso somntwana wakho sokudla sizohluka usuku nosuku kuye ngezici eziningana ezifana nalezi:

• ukuthi bazizwa kanjani
• ngabe kukhona iziphazamiso ezikhona
• isikhathi sosuku
• ubisi lwebele/ifomula yabo
• noma ngabe badlula ekukhuleni kwabo noma cha
• izinhlobo zokudla ezikudlayo

Yehlisa ingcindezi:

Amasonto nezinyanga zokuqala zokudla okuqinile kufanele kube mnandi—kuyinkathi yokuhlola lapho ingane yakho yethulwa ukudla okunhlobonhlobo okuhlukahlukene, okunambithekayo kanye nokwakheka ukuze izamukele ngokushesha kamuva. Ukuthinta, ukukhotha, ukugoqa, ukudlala ngakho, ngisho nokukhafula ukudla kuyingxenye yenqubo yokufunda ukuthanda ukudla okusha—kuyinto evamile ngokuphelele. Zama ukungadangali uma ingane yakho ingadli njengoshampeni ekuqaleni. Yiba nesineke futhi uqhubeke wethula ukudla ngendlela engacindezelwanga–uzofunda ukudla kahle ngesikhathi sakhe nangejubane lakhe. Ukudla okujabulisayo!
