Problems due to nutrition during the first year of life
- Pediatrická klinika, FN Brno, gastroenterologická ambulance
The first year of infant’s life is characterised by transition from liquid food, ideally breastfeeding, to solid type of foods. In the early period
the infant nutrition is affected by the prenatal period and complications of its course. Important role may play inborn defects and
metabolic disorders. Nevertheless there is an important role of parent´s approach to pediatrician´s advice. The most common problems
related to nutrition in the early period are vomiting, flatulence, failure to thrive and diarrhea. It is possible to solve these symptoms promoting
good clinical examination of the infant after having asked the detailed history and while respecting expert´s recommendation.
The crucial role of first line healthcare service is to separate the minor difficulties from situations that require intervention of a specialist.
