Kids Under The Age Of 5 Should Drink Milk And Water For Proper Nutrition

Sometimes in our daily life we all may have experienced a strange sensation in our stomach before a big event or if something curious going to happen next in our life. And as parents, we are also entirely recognizable with our child's stomach pain denounce when their stress levels are at high peak, like before a big test or a match. It naturally puts a lot of parents in an overdrive, without knowing that it may actually be a sign of anxiety.
A Seattle based children's gastroenterologist, Dr. Nicole Sawangpont Pattamanuch, discusses red flags that every parent should need to watch out for to discriminate tangible ache from stress or anxiety. He also shares grappling tricks for children to get rid of from that distress.

In starting ages Infants and kids need the right kind of nutrition to support their overall growth and development. If you thought feeding your kids fancy products or keeping them away from traditional foods was going to help them grow taller, stronger, sharper, think again. According to fresh guidelines, kids aged 5 and below mostly just need to drink milk and water.
According to guidelines issued by the Healthy Eating Research, a nutrition research group developed by the American Heart Association, Pediatric dentistry, and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics specified in detail the dos and don'ts to be followed while adopting a diet for kids.


Here are some specific instructions or guidelines for the kids aged under five, the research academy said that babies aged six months and below should completely be with breast feed milk or formula and water should be added to their diet only after seven months.

For those who are picked up on formula in their early months, cow's milk can be added to their diet once they turn into one.

Importance of these guidelines
While non-dairy milk products are declared as protected and rich in protein, the nutrient penetration rate is fairly low and the kids stand at losing requisite calcium and minerals. At the same time, a lot of formulas and milk powders contain a percentage of added sugar and preservatives, which are not good for growing kids and their appetites.
