It is believed than 1 in 50 children suffer from the severest types of allergies that on occasions can kill, and that those who die from allergic reactions have not necessarily had severe reactions before to warn them clearly of the danger.  \nTherefore Smisby Day Nursery has a policy regarding the weaning of all children in the baby room.  \nPolicy wording  \nFor the majority of infants weaning should commence around 6 months of age. We have used guidelines from the NHS and would recommend all parents visit [http://www.nhs.uk/start4life](http://www.nhs.uk/start4life which)[ which](http://www.nhs.uk/start4life which) contains valuable information on weaning children.  \nWhile the origins of food intolerances often remain unclear, it would appear prudent to delay introduction of the foods most commonly associated with atopic reactions. The usually accepted list of allergenic foods are gluten containing cereals (wheat, barley, rye, and oats), cows’milk, egg, fish, soybean, and nuts.  \nThe introduction of new foods in a gradual process, using a few pureed semi-solid foods followed by an increasing familiarisation with a greater range of tastes and textures right through to the beginning of selffeeding.  \nGood nutritional practice followed by the Nursery, incorporating all of the above, is compatible with guidelines that include:  \n􀀁 The initial use of vegetables or baby rice mixed with the infant’s normal milk  \n􀀁 The gradual introduction of vegetables and fruits in puree form  \n􀀁 Baby cereals or normal cereals made with either boiled water or cow’s milk for breakfast  \n􀀁 Pureed vegetables, finger foods or jarred / tinned baby foods at Tea time from 6 months  \n􀀁 After the introduction of fruit and vegetables we progress on to cheese, yoghurt or fromage frais, and lean meat, all in pureed form from 6 months  \n􀀁 Nut products would not be included in the diet by the Nursery but food containing nut traces cannot be ruled out UNLESS a child is at risk of anaphylaxis  \n􀀁 Salt (sodium chloride) and sugar is not added to any infant foods or the cooking medium  \n􀀁 Meat, including Beef and Beef products, or iron fortified weaning foods are introduced early to increase iron intake  \n􀀁 From 8-9 months children will move towards eating 3 meals a day  \n􀀁 Meat, pulses, dairy products, wheat, and rice are included as appropriate to increase zinc intake  \n􀀁 The change from breast milk/formula to cows’milk for drinking is delayed until after 1 year of age  \n􀀁 Drinks, other than breast milk, formula, cow’s milk and water, are discouraged  \n􀀁 Cool boiled water is only used for children under 6 months of age to make up drinks  \n􀀁 Nursery staff use a “Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep”machine to sterilise and formulate bottles  \nInfant Formula  \nThe Department of Health in January 2013 re-issued guidance on the preparation of infant formulae. Their advice on best practice means that water SHOULD be at 70 degrees C or above to kill bacteria in formula milk powder. In order to follow this guidance we have the following procedure that we follow in the Nursery:  \nReleased 08/03/2018 Page 1 Version: 1.4  \n© Copyright Smisby Day Nursery 2004-2018 Review: March 2021  \n1) Parents must supply an adequate number of sterilised bottles for the whole of the child’s session in Nursery  \n2) Parents must supply enough formula for each bottle in pre measured amounts supplied in an appropriate Formula dispenser showing the amount of water to add to each measure  \n3) Nursery staff will use a “Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Perfect Prep”machine to both sterilise and add the right amount of water to each bottle. The staff will add the formula at the appropriate time, shake the bottle to ensure even mixing, and","cbCaiaOWfv1qWwKF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaOWfv1qWwKF","pdf",394174,"English","# Policy wording\n## Infant introduction and nutritional practice\n## Infant formula preparation procedure\n## Parent agreements and allergy communication","[{\"question\":\"When should weaning begin for most infants?\",\"answer\":\"Weaning should generally commence around 6 months of age.\"},{\"question\":\"Which allergenic foods does the nursery approach with caution?\",\"answer\":\"The nursery recommends delaying foods commonly associated with atopic reactions, including gluten-containing cereals, cows’ milk, egg, fish, soybean, and nuts.\"},{\"question\":\"How is infant formula prepared and what temperature is required?\",\"answer\":\"Water should be at 70°C or above.
