Energy:Infants need energy for growth, and normal
development.infant’s energy or caloric requirementdepends:
1.body size and composition.
2. metabolic rate.3. physical activity
4. medical conditions.
5.growth rate.Recommended energy intake is:
108 kcal/kg in first 6 months.
95 kcal/kg from 6-12 months.

Energy Intake and Growth Rate:
A general indicator of whether aninfant is consuming an adequatenumber of kilocalories per day is
the infant’s growth rate inlength,weight, and headcircumference.

Carbohydrates :
Should supply 30-60% of energy intake.
RDA:
0–6 months 60 g/day.
7–12 months 95 g/day.
Sources: The major type of carbohydrate normallyconsumed by young infants is lactose.
Some infants cannot tolerate lactose (dueto lactase enzyme deficiency in the smallintestines) and required a modifiedformula.

Older infants derive CHO from
additionalSources: legums ,cereals, fruits,
vegetables.
( avoid some fruit juices for infants< 6months as: apple, pear, prune).

Protein : The current recommendation for the
infant’s protein requirement are:2.2g/kg for first 6 months.1.7 g/kg form 6-12 months.
The infant needs all the eight essential
amino acids plus histidine.Under certain conditions other amino acidsbecome essential:1.infant has phenylketonuria cannotmetabolize phenylalanine to tyrosine sotyrosine become essential.2.premature infants require an externalsource of tyrosine and cystine.

The amount of protein in breast
milk& infant formula is adequate forthe first 6 months.
In the next 6 months diet of infant
should be supplemented withadditional source of protein such as:meats, egg yolks, yogurt, legums,cereals.

Fat:
During the first 6 months of life, fatshould account for approximately 50% of the infant's total calorie intake.Between months 7-12 this percentage
drops somewhat, but a range of 35-40%is still recommended for fat intake as apercent of total calories.RDA: 30g/dayInfants need essential fatty acids that arerequired for normal brain development,healthy skin and hair, normal eyedevelopment, and resistance to infectionand disease.

Breast milk & infant formula provideabout 50% of their calories from lipids.
Breast milk provides approximately5.6 g/liter of linoleic acid.
Infant formulas currently provide 3.3–
8.6 g/liter.older infants derive lipids from diet as:meat, egg yolks, dairy products, oils
added to home prepared foods.

Water:
The requirements for water are:
0-6 month 0.7L/day7-12 month 0.8L/day
- Infant is vulnerable to water imbalancedue to immature kidney.
- Water deficit lead to hypernatremicdeyhration and neurologicalconsequences.- Water intoxication result in
hyponatremia ,nausea, vomiting,diarrhea, irritabilty this occur if water isfed as a replacement for milk or if theformula is excessively diluted.- Under normal conditions,infants fed
breast milk or infant formula don’t needadditional water.

Fats:•
• The nutritional composition of breast milkbegins with fat. If you take all the waterout of breast milk, half of what's leftbehind is fat. And, there's lots of cholesterol too.
•
infants, and young children need fats forthe development of the nervous system.• In breast milk, there is an enzyme called
lipase. Lipase breaks down fat so thatthe fat is in small globules. This allowsfor better digestion and absorption inBaby’s stomach.
• In contrast, the fat globules in baby-formula are large because they are from
cow’s milk.•

Carbohydrates:• The next big component of breast milk is
carbohydrates (37%).• most of the carbohydrates are in the form
of lactose.
•
Lactose provides Baby with energy.• Lactose is converted to lactic acid by
the Lactobacillus. The lactic acid makesBaby’s stomach acidic. This in turn
prevents the growth of harmful bacteria.• Cow’s milk has less than 10% lactose.
Formulas manufacturers try to matchthe nutritional composition of breast
milk by adding more lactose

Proteins :
• There are high levels of protein in
colostrum and these levels decrease asbaby grows older and older.
• At 6 months of age baby should receivean external source of protein.
• Whey and casein are the two main types:• Whey is smooth , liquidy and easily
digested.it represent about 60-80%of proteins in breast milk.
• Casein is coarse and not easily digested,present in formula so delay hungrysensation.
