Tips on eating healthy during pregnancy. Afraid of gaining too much weight. 6 weeks pregnant?

Frontier12

First pregnancy

Answer
Don't worry you're not alone! I'm 7 months pregnant with baby #2 and I've done a lot of research on pregnancy weight gain. First of all, don't buy into the myth of "eating for 2". The reality is that during the first trimester you only need to gain 1-4 pounds TOTAL! And then during the second and third trimester, you only need to gain 2-4 pounds per month. They recommend the healthiest way to do this is to eat only 300 extra calories per day. Yes only 300!
I recommend going to http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramidmoms/index.html They have a lot of great information on how many calories you should be taking in per trimester, how much weight you should gain total depending on your pre-pregnancy weight, and how much of each food category you need.
Just eat healthy and like you would normally since you're in you're first trimester and remember not to think that you need extra calories. Also, start taking prenatal vitamins!! Very important, and rest assure that your doctor will be keeping track of your weight and letting you know if it's getting out of control. You can also exercise if you've been exercising before getting pregnant. If you haven't been then ask your doctor and you should be able to do some brisk walking.
The best advice I can give you overall, is stay aware of how much weight you're gaining and what your eating. When you feel you're gaining too much too fast, just be careful of what you're eating and things will get back on track.
Congratulations and many blessings to you!

healthy eating during pregnancy?

cali

I'm seven weeks pregnant today. I've been trying to eat healthy, but unfortunately any vegetable I look at makes me want to puke (even more than I already am). I take my prenatal vitamins everyday but I know that's not enough. Any hints and/or suggestions???

Answer
I eat what I can keep down. Yes, it's ideal to be eating as healthy as possible, and as long as you can sneak in SOME fruits and veggies at this point, that's fine. It's more important just to stay hydrated and nourished. I'm still really sick and I'm 14.5 weeks pregnant. I do my best to eat fruits and veggies, but if all I can keep down is a bagel or a baked potato, then that's what I'm going to eat. Keep taking your prenatal and do what you can. Once you start to feel better, add more of the fruits and veggies to your diet.

foods for a 1 year old?

.

I reposted this from newborn & baby. My son just turned 11 months old. I have a few questions about what he should & should not be eating. This was his last month on formula & baby food for WIC. He's been doing great on finger foods, I started giving him the Gerber Graduate snacks when he was around 8 months old that dissolved in his mouth after a few seconds. When he was 9 months old he started taking bigger bites and actually chewing so I started breaking up some fruit like bananas and letting him eat it. I've tried eggs, plums, blueberries (the insides of it), sweet potatoes and things just to let him play with it and figure it out. But next month everything changes and I'm really worried. He starts getting cheese, whole milk, bread, and I just don't know what to buy for him to make sure he is getting the right nutrition. I want to try and get him accustomed to more foods before he is on them all together as his main source of nutrition. We have a tight food budget (food stamps plus what we pay for about 130 a month total), but we eat very healthy. I have fresh & frozen fruit & vegetables all the time, chicken, turkey, & salmon, lots of whole grains. Are canned vegetables okay? I buy the 'no salt added' canned vegetables. What should he be eating & how much, and what should I avoid?

Answer
* Your baby loves to learn new tricks and show off. If you make her the same food you are eating, you will probably see a new side of your baby.

* Babies begin to use a cup around one year of age. Some can hold it themselves, and some just need a little help. Either way, once you show them how, they will probably want to do it themselves.

* Don't give your baby juice with sugar late in the day or in the middle of the night. Besides not being good for her teeth, it will wake her up and/or keep her awake. On the flip side, if your baby is grouchy when she wakes up, give her a little bit of orange juice right away. This will help her over the hump. Orange juice is great for preventing colds, too.

* Petroleum jelly is a great barrier cream for your baby's face when you are introducing her to more acidic foods, such as oranges and spaghetti sauce. Just use a small amount and be sure to keep the jelly off your clothes, because it stains. To remedy a stain, douse the area in baby powder and let it stand until the powder dissolves. Do it again and again until the powder remains. This means the wetness is mostly removed. Your item will be ready to wash, or the powder will simply wipe off with little or no stain remaining.

* Don't wait to instill a love of home in your baby. Make family recipes such as grandma's secret spaghetti sauce, mom's cinnamon rolls, or dad's pancakes; or make a tradition of roasting a chicken every Sunday. You'll be glad you did. Long after your baby is grown up, he will come home because he wants to taste mom and dad's home-cooked meals again...so think ahead.

* Some babies eat and eat and gain weight slowly, and some eat less and gain weight rapidly. It's in the genes. I'm certain I got the wrong ones.

* Some foods are very real choking hazards for babies this age. Keep grapes, popcorn, hot dogs, hard candy, long spaghetti, and hard chips away from your baby!

* One of the first signs that baby is ready to wean completely off of the breast or bottle is when he's still hungry after he drinks his milk.

* No soda or caffeine for baby.

* Limit any fried foods and/or spicy sauces. These types of foods can give baby unbearable gas.

* Freezing your leftovers is great, but never refreeze leftovers after they have thawed out.

* It's not good to mix foods that baby strongly dislikes with those he likes. He'll probably just end up disliking both. Notice what your baby likes and expand from there.

* Don't offer too many choices for foods in the beginning. Stick with one thing at a time.

* If baby likes cereals, feel confident moving towards soft crackers, breads, noodles, and other things that she can pick up on her own.

* Try using a little cup, such as the ones from children's medicine bottles, when helping baby make the transition from bottle to cup. They hold just a little fluid and are fun for the baby to hold and learn withâminiatures of things that adults use are usually attractive to babies.

* Children go through growth spurts for years. If your baby normally picks at food and suddenly seems hungry after every meal, get ready to go shopping! She is probably getting ready to grow again.

* Some babies fuss when their hands and face get dirty. Notice if baby acts the same way around messy foods like mashed potatoes or soups. If so, try drier foods like toast.

* Don't forget to introduce pizza! Just be sure to take off the stringy cheese because it is a choking hazard. Just keep in mind that some babies are very particular and don't like certain marinara sauces, especially if it's tangy.

* Remember, babies like to do things themselves, so if she isn't eating well, simply try letting her do it herself.

* A great way to tell if your baby is aware of the new foods in front of him is to put a finger-size piece of pasta (easy to pick up) next to a cookie. If your baby grabs the cookie first, you'll know he is totally aware of your menu selections. If this happens, you have to remember to keep all cookies, juices, and other sweets and delights out of his view until you get him hooked on veggies, fruits, meats, and other healthy alternatives.

* By this time, baby is on the move. Set rules and make sure to teach your little one to eat only at the table in the high chair. This is one of those things that, if taught early, gets easier and easier. Otherwise, baby rules the house, and when that happens, it gets harder and harder...for you.

* If your baby likes blueberries, don't be surprised to find his diaper has turned blue. Red dyes and red juices, which are discouraged because they can rile up your baby, have a similar effect. This can be a scary discovery, but don't worryâwhatever goes in is going to come out.

Please give me idea for breakfast recipes for 9 month old baby??

Kykirei

My baby used to like his breakfast I usually make him oatmeal, cherrios, or porrigde cereal mix with yogurt, fresh banana or papaya but not with other fruits such as any kind of berries, apple, he always reject them and also as we live in Tokyo there very limited fruits selection here so I have no choice what should I feed him to make variation of his breakfast...anyway, since last week seems he gets bored with his breakfast, he often try to vomit the food out and refuses to eat, I kinda like giving up and don't want to force him to eat...is anyone out there can give me idea what is other healthy breakfast recipes that good for my baby?
My baby still has no teeth yet that's way I have no idea what is safe to feed him though, Tokyo has peaches but it only when the season come like once a year not sure when (???) fruit selection here only ; banana, avocado, local apples, mangoes, oranges, kiwies, grapes, papaya & berries that's all...I think waffles is a good idea as it soft!
Thanks everyone for giving me quick answers...I will definitely try your recipes...oh this site is really help!!! so happy!!!!

Answer
My daughter just had her 9 month checkup yesterday and the doctor said that eggs, despite all the hoopla, are fine. She likes waffles and bagels. I was going to try a bagel with cream cheese, just haven't gotten to the store yet. I'm having the same problem. She is bored with her food, but doesn't eat table foods well enough yet to cut out her foods out. She likes nutragrain bars. The other day I put it in her yougurt. I am going to start trying dipping foods like yougurt dips and such. She is very into tactile stilmulation and wants to pick her food up. If I start putting something in her mouth she tries to grab it out of my hands so she can put it in herself.
You could also try pancakes and put the fruit in them so they are more nutritious. Also, banana bread or corn muffins. You can put cream cheese on those. One little boy I used to watch lived on toast with cream cheese and jelly.
