Nui nā mākua e mālama ana i kaʻai pono o nā keiki, e like me keʻano o kaʻaiʻana. ʻOi aku kekahi mau keiki i kaʻaiʻole a ua paʻakikī e hānai, akāʻo nā mea e aʻe,ʻaʻole paha lākou eʻike i nā meaʻai. Ma kēiaʻano, ponoʻoe e noʻonoʻo pono i ka meaʻai o ke keiki, a me ka hoʻoholoʻana i kekahi mau lapaʻau no ka hānaiʻana i ka pēpē, pono e mālamaʻia.
ʻO ka hua'ōlelo "ʻai" keʻano o ka manawa wale nō i waena o nā meaʻai a iʻole nā hola kikowaena o ka meaʻai, akā,ʻo ka nui o nā meaʻai, a me ka hoʻopili ponoʻana i ka mālama o ka la i nā calories.
ʻO ka mea maʻalahi he 4 mauʻai i ka lā. ʻO kēia ke kumu o kaʻikeʻana o ka'ōpena'ōpala i ka halihali kau, a laila ka lawelaweʻana i kaʻai me nā enzymes digestive ka mea piha loa. A no ka mea,ʻo kaʻaiʻana i kekahi mau hola e kōkua ia i ka hoʻomohalaʻana i kahi palekana, i loko o ka hoʻoili pihaʻana o nā wai'ōpiopio i kekahi manawa.
Me ka makahiki, hana ke keiki i kekahi mea hana lole maʻalo, a hoʻonuiʻia kaʻike. I ka hopena o ka makahiki 1 o ke ola, ua hoʻonele ke pēpē, a ua kānana maikaʻi i kaʻai. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai ke hoʻololi i ka meaʻai o kahi keiki a hoʻoneʻeneʻe pinepine aku ia i ka hoʻokomo a me kaʻono a me keʻano o kēlā mea no nā mākua. E mālama i ka hoʻololiʻana mai ka hānaiʻana i ka meaʻai makuaʻole. Pono e hoʻolālāʻia ka meaʻai o ke keiki, hoʻokaʻawale a kūpono i kaʻelemakule. Ke mālamaʻia nā keiki i lalo o nā makahiki he 1.5 me 5 manawa i ke ao, a ma hope o 1.5 mau makahiki - 4 manawa i ka lā. ʻO ka nui o ka meaʻai e like me ka nui o ka'ōpū.
Hoʻopaʻaʻia he mau hola 4 ka lōʻihi o ka manawa ma waena o nā meaʻai no nā pēpē. ʻO kēia mahele o ka hānai he mea maikaʻi loa ia, no laila i loko o 4 mau manawa eʻimi ai ka'ōpū o ka'ōpū a hoʻokuʻuʻia mai kaʻai. Pono e hāʻawi ponoʻia nāʻai o kēlā me kēia lā. E hoʻomaopopo pono i ka hapa mua o ka lā eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hāʻawiʻana i ka pī, ka iʻa a me nā meaʻai meaʻai, no kaʻaina awakea e'ōleloʻia e lawelawe i ka liʻakai a me nā meaʻai. I kaʻaiʻana o nā keiki i kēlā me kēia lā,ʻelua kīʻaha o nā meaʻai a me hoʻokahi - porridge. No ka makahiki a me ka hapalua, ua hānaiʻia nā pēpē me nā mea puree, a ma ka makahiki e hoʻomaka ai lākou e mālama i nā keiki a me nā meaʻai ma nāʻano liʻiliʻi.
Aia nā keiki i 1-3 mau makahiki i nā meaʻai: dietary - 1/3 o ka palena o ka ike o ka lā; 'aina awakea - 1/3; i ka'a'ā ahiahi - 1/5,ʻaina - 1/5. Hōʻikeʻia ke kakahiaka kakahiaka ma ka 8.00 i ke kakahiaka, kaʻaina awakea ma 12.00, kaʻaina awakea i ka 4 pm, kaʻaina ahiahi i ka 20.00.
He mea nui kaʻaiʻana o nā keiki i 4 mau manawa i ka lā i kahiʻai likeʻole. Pono kēlā me kēia lā i ka manawa like. Inā hoʻokaʻawaleʻia mai kaʻai,ʻaʻole e lōʻihi ka manawa ma mua o 15-30 mau minuke. A he mea nui kēia, no ka mālamaʻana i kekahi mau wāwae ma waena o nā meaʻai i nā manawa a pau, makemake ka keiki no ka manawa kūpono, aia kahi manaʻo o ka pōloli, e ulu ana nā enzymes digestive.
ʻAʻole i'ōleloʻia e hāʻawi i nā keiki i ka hua'ōlelo ma waena o ka pōpō kakahiaka a me kaʻaina awakea. E waiho i kahi'āʻuku'āʻona maikaʻi e like me ke kumu, nā kuki, a me ka meaʻai. Ināʻai malū ke keiki i kaʻaina awakea a me ka pōpōpō,ʻo ka pēpē, pono nā mākua e hōʻike i ka makemake, a no ka pono o ke keiki e lawe i nā meaʻai a pau mai ka papaʻaina aʻaʻole hoʻi e hōʻoluʻolu iā ia ma mua o kaʻai hou. ʻO iaʻano pōloli pōkole e hānai i ke keiki i kahiʻahaʻaina aʻaiʻana i ka papaʻaina.
Inā koho maikaʻiʻia kaʻai o nā keiki,ʻai lākou me ka makemake nui, eʻai ana i ka māhele a pau a me ka hoʻohanaʻiaʻana i nā puʻupuʻu o ka meaʻai, ka mea e hiki ai iā lākou ke loaʻa ke kaumaha, e ulu a ulu. Me kaʻaiʻole i kohoʻia aiʻole kaʻaiʻole o nā meaʻaiʻole, nā keiki, ma keʻano he kūlana, kaumahaʻole ka waiwai, hiki ke loli i ka kaumaha,ʻo ia ke kumu o nā pilikia o kaʻaiʻana o ka meaʻai. A nui aku ka paʻaʻana o ka pēpē, hiki ke alakaʻi i kaʻaiʻana, a laila i ka momona, a he mea ia e alakaʻi ai i nā pilikia o ka ola kino. E hoʻomanaʻo i kahi keiki i maʻa mua i kaʻaiʻana i nā meaʻai nāʻaleʻa, pono, a me nā meaʻai i kekahi manawa ma mua o ka wā o ka makahiki hoʻokahi i ke kekona ola pono i loko o ke kino, kahi wale nō ka hopena o kona uluʻana.
