Umntwana owondliwe ngokungalunganga akahlali nje engenampilo, akonwabanga, kwaye oku kuyinkxalabo kuye nawuphi na umzali omtsha. Ukutya okunesondlo okufanelekileyo (ukutya okudingekayo ukukugcina usempilweni), kubalulekile kakade kwimpilo entle. Ngokusekelwe ngamava obuqu, nantsi into ekhe yasebenza. Inikezelwa njengenqaku eliluncedo kubazali abafuna iindlela ezingcono zokukhulisa abantwana abasempilweni.

Ezinye izibhedlele noogqirha kubonaka beye bamkela intetho ethi “umntwana otyebileyo namhlanje uthetha isigulana ngomso.”

Okunye ukutya okunikezwa ezibhedlele nangogqirha babantwana—umgubo ocekeceke ofanele unyibilikise emanzini ukondla umntwana—kufunyenwe ukuba kucaphukisa umntwana. Ukuba ubukhe wayingcamla, uyakuvumelana nomntwana. Yinto embi.

Ngaphezulu koko, yi khabohydrate yonke. I khabohydrate zizinto ezifana nesonka, i pasta, iitapile, ubusi, iswekile, njl. Ukutya komntwana akunayo iprotheni eyimfuneko yokwenza izicubu kunye nethambo. I protein leliphi naliphi na iqela elikhulu leekhemikhali eliyinxalenye eziyimfuneko yazo zonke izinto eziphilayo. iProtheyini zifumaneka ekutyeni okufana nenyama, itshizi, intlanzi okanye amaqanda kwaye ziyimfuneko ukuze umzimba ukhule kwaye womelele. Ukutya okulungiselelwe okusetyenziselwa iintsana namhlanje kwenza amanqatha kuphela. Xa ubona umntwana ekhangeleka ethe kratya kwaye edumbile, uyazi ukuba umntwana wondliwa nje ukutya komgubo wobisi oxubileyo, iglucose (uhlobo lweswekile efumaneka kwiziqhamo, ubusi, isityalo kunye nezicubu zezilwanyana) namanzi—zonke zi khabhohayidrethi.

Esona sizathu sikhulu sibangela ukuphazamiseka ebomini bomntwana kukutya nje. Umntwana unokutyiswa, ewe. Kodwa ngantoni? Ukunambitha eyoyikisayo, izisombululo eziphezulu ze carbohydare okanye ubisi lwebele olusuka kumama osebenze kakhulu? Inxalenye yokutya kufuneka ibe nepesenti enzima yeprotheyini. I protein yibhlokhi yokwakha imithambo-luvo kunye namathambo. Ijoni elingxwelerhekileyo aliyi kuphila ngaphandle kokutya kakhulu i protein. Izilonda (isilonda eluswini okanye ngaphakathi kwilungu lomzimba, njengesisu) aziyi kuphola ngaphandle kokuba unikwe ukutya okunzima kwe protein.

Ukwenza ingqondo, ithambo kunye nezicubu, umntwana kufuneka anikwe i protein—ukusukela xa eneentsuku ezimbini ezelwe ukuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka emithathu ubudala. Oko kwenza abantwana abomelele, abahle, abalumkile abantwana abalela kakuhle kwaye benze kakuhle.

Le ngxaki yaqala yaqwalaselwa njengomcimbi wobuqu. Njengotata onomntwana oyinkwenkwe omncinci owaye ngazukuphila, kuye kwafuneka kuthathwe inyathelo ngokukhawuleza ukumhlangula. (1) Kwafuneka akhutshwe esibhedlele, (2) ingxaki kwafuneka ifunyanwe kwaye (3) kwafuneka apholiswe. Ixesha elipheleleyo elalikhoyo lalingaphantsi kweeyure ezingamashumi amabini anesine. Wayesifa.

Ke (1) wakhitshwa esibhedlele. Kwaye (2) kwafunyanwa engavumi okanye engakwazi ukutya. Kwaye (3) ifomyula eyamnika isondlo awayeyifuna yaphuhliswa kwaye yanikwa yena. Ifomyula yindlela yokupheka okanye iseti yemiyalelo yokudibanisa izithako ukulungiselela ukulungiswa kwento, efana nokudityaniswa kweevithamini, ukutya komntwana, njl.

Le fomyula isetyenziselwe irhasi (iinkozo ezivela kuhlobo lwesityalo esineenkozo). Imikhosi yaseRoma yayihambile yaze yalwa amadabi ngelixa iphila ngokutya kwerhasi, ukutya okuziinkozo okuneyona protein iphakamileyo. Le fomyula ikufutshane kubisi lomntu olunokudityaniswa ngokulula. Yindlela endala yaseRoma ukusuka kwiminyaka engama-2,200 eyadlulayo.

Yinto encinci yengxaki ukwenza. Kuya kufuneka usebenzise imbiza okanye iketile encinci ukupheka irhasi ngaphakathi (kuyichaphazela ngokwenene embizeni, ke uya kuyidinga imbiza esetyenziswa kuphela kwaye uhlala upheka irhasi). Kwaye kuya kufuneka upheke irhasi ixesha elide ukufumana amanzi erhasi, ke ngamanye amaxesha kulula ukuyilibala isesitofini ize itshise. Kodwa nangona kunjalo, kufanelekile ngokwemeko yendlu ezolileyo kunye nomntwana osempilweni.

Uxuba isibonelelo esipheleleyo seeyure ezingamashumi amabini anesine sale ndlela yokubhalwa kwerhasi yonke imihla, siyigalela ngebhotile enesitayile kwaye siyibeka apho iya kuhlala ibanda khona. Ngalo lonke ixesha fudumeza ibhotile ukuya kuthi ga kwi 98.6°F okanye i 37°C (uyivavanye ngokugungqa ezinye ngasemva kwesandla sakho ukuze ubone ukuba kufudumele kakhulu okanye kupholile kakhulu) ngaphambi kokuba uyinike umntwana.

Kwaye, nangona uzama ukugcina umntwana kwishedyuli, usisidenge ukuba ungamondli umntwana xa elambile.

Usana, xa sele litye isahlulo esigcweleyo sokutya, lihlala lilele iiyure nokuba kunjalo. Ukuba akenzi njalo, kuhlala kukho isizathu, njl. Xa umntwana ongafanele ukulila esenza oko, zizingele de ufumane ukuba kutheni. Sukulandela iingcinga eziphosakeleyo zokuba (1) umntwana ulukhuni nje okanye (2) sisigulo esiqatha esifuna ukwenziwa ngokukhawuleza. Kwenye indawo phakathi kwakho uya kufumana esona sizathu.
