For a newborn baby<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is possible to have your child looked after, provided that you explain the diet and its importance to the people who are going to look after him. If you opt for this solution, it is preferable to use a nanny who comes to your home or who has only a few children to look after, so as to limit possible infections that could lead to “decompensation”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is essential that the person(s) looking after your child is\/are fully available and supportive, and that they trust you. In the beginning, before diversification, you will usually prepare the bottles for the day yourself. Make it clear that it is important that your child takes his or her own bottles and only his or her own. You can also suggest that the childminder who looks after your child accompany you to a few visits so that she can learn about your baby’s strict diet and treatment from the start. This will allow her to assess whether or not she can take on this responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your baby may be at risk of decompensation<\/strong>, with a rise in blood levels if there is a mistake with the bottle or if he or she is not eating enough, the nurse should be aware of these situations and should be able to contact you without difficulty in case of hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

For a small child<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diversification begins at around 4-6 months of age, just like any other child. Fruits and vegetables will be introduced at the same age, in the same quantities, but the leucine intake they represent will be accounted for by you, respecting the total daily quantity prescribed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with any child, introduce 1 new food at a time, every 2-3 days (a new vegetable or fruit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your child likes to be spoon-fed, he or she may no longer want the whole amino acid mixture in the bottle. However, the prescribed amounts should be taken in full, every day. This does not mean that you have to “force” the child to take the whole amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask your dietician if it is possible to offer it in a more concentrated form or in another form: in a porridge, in fruit, etc. or by changing the mix of amino acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
