|Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial ''' on '''essential nutrition actions'''

|-
|Collage: Steps

| In this tutorial we will learn about the best ways to prevent malnutrition.

|-

|'''Essential nutrition actions''' are a preventive approach to tackle malnutrition.

They are required during the first 1,000 days.

First 1,000 days start from conception to the second birthday of the baby.

|-
|| Image: ENA

|'''Essential nutrition actions'''are also known as '''ENA'''.
|-
|| collage: Actions

Image: Delayed cord clamping

IMage: Additional iron

Image: feeling the pulse

IMage: Stop pulsating

Image: Delayed cord clamping

|For a newborn, the first '''ENA'''to be done is delaying the clamping of the cord.

The umbilical cord should not be cut immediately after delivery.

The nurse should first feel the pulsation of the cord.

The cord should be cut when it stops pulsating.
|-
|| IMage: improves baby's stores

Image: Prevention of anemia

IMage: Complementary food and iron rich food

|| Delayed cord clamping allows blood flow between placenta and the baby.

This may improve the iron store in the baby for the first 6 months.

Doing so prevents anemia in babies during these months.

After 6 months, iron rich food should be given through complementary food.

Along with complementary food, the baby should be breastfed until 2 years of age.
|-
|| Image: Breastfeeding

Image: Place baby on abdomen

Image: babies finding mothers breast

Image: Breast crawl

|| After clamping the cord, the baby should be breastfed.

To do so, the baby should be placed on the mother's bare abdomen.

A baby is born with an instinctive feeding behavior.

With this behavior it can find the mother's breast and initiate breastfeeding.

This entire process is called breast crawl.

More about breast crawl has been explained in another tutorial.

Please visit our website for this tutorial.
|-

Image: Good fats

|| It is important to start breastfeeding within one hour of birth.

The first milk is called the colostrum.

It is the primary source of nutrients for a newborn.

Colostrum has infection-fighting elements and good fat.

|-

.

|| Breast milk is also the first source of vitamin A for the baby.

Vitamin A is vital for healthy eyes and immunity.

Breastmilk is enough to meet the vitamin A requirements for the first 6 months.

After 6 months, vitamin A rich complementary food should be given.
|-
|Image: correct latching

Image: Poor attachment

Image: very little milk

Image: baby getting sufficient milk

Image: Areola

|| For effective breastfeeding, correct latching is most important.

Poor attachment of the baby’s mouth to the breast will result in nipple feeding.

This will give very little milk to the baby.

Baby's mouth should attach to the lower part of the areola.

This way the baby will get sufficient milk.

Areola is the dark area around the nipple.
|-
|Image: correct technique

| Breastfeeding techniques are discussed in other tutorials.
|-

Collage: Breastfeeding

Collage: Breastfeeding and complementary feeding
|| On completion of 6 months, the baby's nutrient requirement increases rapidly.

At this stageexclusive breastfeeding is not enough.

Complementary food should be introduced, along with breastfeeding.
|-
|| Image: 6 month old baby

Collage: Puree, khichdi, finger foods
|| It should start as soon as the baby completes 6 months of age.

6 months of age does not mean the start of the 6th month of a baby’s life.

It means she has completed 6 months and has started the 7th month of her life.

Also, the quantity and consistency of the food should be changed as per the age.
|-
|| Collage: cereals, millets, seeds, vegetables and fruits

Collage: Grains, roots, tubers

Collage: legumes, seeds, nuts

Collage: milk products

Collage: Non veg
|| A baby’s diet must include different food groups.

The first food group is grains, roots, and tubers.

Legumes, seeds, and nuts are the second group.

The third group is milk products. Meat, fish, and chicken are the fourth group.
|-

|| Egg is the fifth group.

Vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables are the sixth group.

The seventh group is other fruits and vegetables.

Lastly, breastfeeding is the eighth group but the most important one.

Ideally, a baby’s diet must include all 8 food groups.
|-
|| Image: Growth

Collage: Complementary feeding
||

All these foods provide nutrients that help in the growth of the baby.

The details of complementary feeding have been discussed in another tutorial.

|-
| Collage: supplements
| Let us now look at the supplements that should be given to the babies.
|-

|From 6 months to 5 years, iron-folic acid supplements should be given.

It has to be given to babies twice a week by healthcare workers.

Vitamin A supplement should be given twice a year.

This supplement is given from 9 months to 5 years of age.

The supplements should be given under the guidance of a health care provider.
|-
|| Collage: Diarrhea

Collage: Diarrhea management

||

We will now see '''ENA'''to treat a baby having diarrhea.

Diarrhea is a major cause of malnutrition.

It causes water loss and imbalance of '''sodium'''and '''potassium'''in the body.

In severe cases, infant deaths may also happen.

Hence, it is very important to treat diarrhea.
|-

Image: '''ORS'''sachet

Image: Zinc supplementation

|'''ORS'''and zinc supplements help in treating diarrhea.

'''ORS'''is '''Oral rehydration salts'''.

Itreplenishes the water and Sodium and potassium in the body.
|-
|Image: '''ORS'''sachet

Image: Boiled and cooled water
|| It is easily available in the market as powder form in packets.

To use it, mix one packet of '''ORS '''in 1 litre of boiled and cooled water.
|-

|Along with '''ORS''', '''Zinc '''supplement is necessary too.

'''Zinc '''reduces the duration, frequency, and severity of diarrhea in children.

It improves the immunity of the baby.

It should be given once a day for 14 days.

10 milligrams of zinc per day should be given to babies below 6 months.

20 milligrams of '''zinc'''per day should be given to 6 months old and above.

|In a small spoon, dissolve '''Zinc'''tablets in breast milk or '''ORS'''.

You may also use boiled and cooled water.

'''ORS'''and '''zinc'''tablets should be given after consulting a healthcare provider.

Along with '''ORS'''and '''zinc, '''less than 6 month old babies should be breastfed.

6 to 24 month old babies should be breastfed and given complementary food.

|| Remember a baby during sickness should be breastfed often.

It helps in faster recovery and weight gain.

It also comforts the sick baby.

With breastfeeding, kangaroo mother care should be provided to every baby.

Collage: type 1 and type2

|| If the baby is older than 6 months, increase the food to one and a half times.

Do this when the baby’s appetite comes back during the recovery period.

Encourage the baby to eat by offering a variety of foods.

Give her type 1 and type 2 nutrient-rich food as per her hunger cues.

More about type 1 and type 2 nutrients has been discussed in another tutorial.
