Topic 1: Prenatal or Breastfeeding:
Nutrition during pregnancy plays a role in the development of the unborn child. And, there is a lot of information and ongoing research looking at benefits associated with breastfeeding, proven, disproven, hypothesized or otherwise. This website has several topics about pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pick one and then discuss your thoughts about it (or respond to another student's comments after reading the same topic). Compare the information to what you have learned in the book or elsewhere.
Or, if you can't find something new and you want to look further into the subject, explore the position statement of the AAP in regards to breastfeeding. It is long but has updated information about benefits and other consideration and was just published recently.
Answer the following questions based on one article from one of the sources above:
Question 1: What are the benefits of breast feeding for both the baby and the mother?
Question 2: How does the information you reviewed here compare to the information in the book (please give specific examples to compare and contrast)
Question 3: Is there any misconception you had on this topic prior to reviewing this section that has changed your view? Please explain.
Topic 2: Nutrition During the Growing Years
This week we are exploring more about feeding infants and children. For those of you who have had the experience of being responsible for what a child eats, you know just how challenging this can be. Ellyn Satter is one of the top presenters in the field of childhood nutrition. I invite you to her website if you are interested in getting more information but please watch the video below that talks about many of her concepts of childhood feeding.
This webinar (part 1 of a two part series) considers competent eating and issues that might alter that.
Question 1: After listening to this lecture, what are three new ideas that you took away with this talk?
Question 2: How does this compare to what you thought before taking this class?
Question 4: How does this information compare to the information presented in the book? How might you apply this information, either now or in the future?
