Infant Nutrition

When my babies were newborns (and even before they were born) I spent a ton of time researching everything from how they were developing to what I should be feeding them. I was recently introduced to a website that I wish had existed a few years ago- The Visual MD. Part of this site is an Infant Nutrition site that helps moms with that crucial "what to feed the baby" question.

Here is a brief description of the website...

Developed as a resource for Moms, the website brings together information from leading health centers and researchers across the country to explain how nutrition is crucial to infant development. How can you make sure that your newborn gets the nutrients she needs to ensure healthy growth through her first birthday? How do you keep her stomach from getting upset? What should you, as an expectant Mom, eat to ensure that you stay healthy as your infant grows? What vitamins do you need if you’re breastfeeding to ensure that you’re passing along the right nutrients to your infant?

Showcasing new data and 3-D images, the site lets you explore and learn the latest research findings through video, pictures, and graphics, in depth questions like why infant eyesight depends on getting enough DHA and what key nutrients contribute to the healthy growth of your child’s brain.

The site is sponsored by Enfamil and I was a little worried it would be one giant advertisement for their formula... but I was pleasantly surprised. There is a lot of pro-breastfeeding information and the advertising is kept to a minimum.

The best part of the site is the 3-D videos and pictures. WOW. They are amazing. My youngest is almost 3 and I learned a lot! I would definitely encourage you to take a look if for no other reason than they are cool to watch :)

If you are pregnant or a new mom than www.InfantNutritionCenter.com might be a site you would really enjoy!
