1 HILDEBRANDT LEARNING CENTERS, LLC FAMILY INFANT FEEDING PACKET PACKET TO BE COMPLETED UPON ENROLLMENT TO THE INFANT CLASSROOM The nutritional status of your infant is of great importance to Hildebrandt Learning Centers and we strive to maintain the practices that you and your infant s physician have made while still meeting the best practice standards set forth for early learning programs. Below are guidelines to ensure that your child s nutritional needs are met. Breast Milk Families who have chosen to provide breast milk to their infant are always welcome to provide such to the center. If you have decided to nurse in the center, please communicate this to your Center Director so that a comfortable place is available for you and your baby during this special time. The following will help to guide you when providing the breast milk to the center. Bottles of breast milk should be transported to the center in a cooler with an ice pack to keep the milk at a cold temperature. Transportation time should not exceed 2 hours. Bottles are to be refrigerated immediately upon arrival to the center. All breast milk is to be provided to the center in a ready to feed container. This means that the breast milk will be provided to the center in a bottle or cup that does not require the teaching staff to pour from one container to another. This will protect the quality of the breast milk and prevent spilling. o The ready to feed container is to be labeled with the child s full name and the date the milk was expressed or defrosted. o Freshly expressed breast milk may be maintained in a refrigerator for 48 hours before being discarded. Defrosted breast milk may be maintained in a refrigerator for 24 hours before being discarded (NAEYC 5.B.09). A back up of 1-2 bags or bottles of frozen breast milk may be maintained in the center freezer to have in the event of great hunger or spills. This back-up supply is to be labeled with the child s full name and the date the milk was expressed. Frozen breast milk may only be maintained in the center freezer for no more than 3 months from the time the breast milk was expressed. Breast milk can be warmed at the center prior to feeding. Please ensure that teaching staff are aware of how your infant prefers to drink his/her bottle to allow for an enjoyable feeding time. Breast milk will be gently swirled, not shaken at the time of feeding. Any breast milk remaining in the bottle after one hour from the start of feeding will be discarded due to growth of bacteria that can occur beyond this period of time. 1 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC

2 Expressed human milk will be discarded if it presents a threat to a baby such as: Human milk in an unsanitary bottle. Human milk that has been un-refrigerated for an hour or more. A bottle of human milk that has been fed over a period that exceeds an hour from the beginning of the feeding. Human milk that had been stored for periods greater than those specified above. If your infant has been exclusively breast fed prior to enrolling in child care, it is strongly recommended that you begin practicing with a bottle at home to allow for an easier transition from breast to bottle at the early learning center. Tips on how to make this process easier for both of you can be provided from your child s pediatrician, a lactation consultant, or the American Academy of Pediatrics parent resource; HealthyChildren.org. Choosing a Selecting an infant formula is based on your discussions with the infant s physician. is available in ready-to-feed, powdered, or concentrated form. Iron-fortified infant formula is the best food for the baby when he or she is not being breastfed or when a supplement to breast feeding is needed. Iron-fortified infant formula is specially formulated to have the right balance of nutrients and to be easily digested by the baby. In choosing an iron-fortified formula, make sure the formula label says "with iron" or "iron-fortified". If your baby s physician indicates that the baby should be fed a special formula or a low iron formula, a written statement from the child s physician must be provided to the center if the formula is not listed on the corresponding Approved Infant pages. This list is furnished by the Child and Adult Food Program, which is utilized to guide early learning centers to ensure the nutritional well-being of infant and children. If the center you are enrolled in provides infant formula and baby foods, the formula that will be included in your center tuition will be Gerber Good Start Gentle. If your center does not provide formula and baby foods or you have chosen to not use Gerber Good Start, the family will be responsible for providing the formula and baby foods or formula chosen in lieu of Gerber Good Start to the center. provided to the center must be provided in its original factory sealed container and labeled with the child s full name. Opened cans of formula will not be accepted, nor will cans with dents, bulges or rust spots. Expired formula may not be used. Preparation It is critical that the proper amount of water is added to powdered or concentrated formulas. Too much formula (too little water) is very hard on the baby's kidneys and digestive system and can lead to dehydration. Adding too much water means the baby isn't getting enough nutrients and calories to grow 2 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC

3 well. All formula is prepared according to the manufacturer s instructions on site at the center. Any deviation from the manufacturer s instructions must be provided by the infant s physician in writing. Storing Once powdered formula is opened it will be labeled with the date that the factory sealed lid has been broken. All formula will be covered tightly with a lid and stored in a cool/dry place (not in refrigerator). The formula must be used within 4 weeks of opening to assure freshness. Concentrate & Ready to Feed will be labeled with the date opened and refrigerated for a maximum of 48 hours before being discarded. Water for Preparation The decision to use tap water, bottled water or boiled water is a decision that can be made between your family and your infant s physician. We ask that you document this decision on the form provided for the center to prevent any confusion upon completion of the Infant Feeding Packet. If tap water is your preferred choice for formula preparation, please be aware that the HLC center you have enrolled in may have fluoride in their tap water. Please see your Center Director for this information. If you should decide to provide bottled or boiled water to the center, please ensure that the container is closed and labeled with the child s full name. Please ensure that teaching staff are aware of how you prefer the bottled water to be stored (room temperature or refrigerated). In the event that the center you have enrolled in only has a small refrigerator available and your family prefers to refrigerate the water, please provide the center with small containers rather than large jugs or pitchers. Please inform your pediatrician of the presence or absence of fluoride in the water used to prepare your child's formula. Bottles Families are required to provide to the center with all bottles necessary for daily infant feedings. Typically the minimum amount of bottles needed per day is three (3) but more may be required depending on your infant s feeding schedule. Bottles and all bottle parts are to be cleaned and appropriately sanitized before providing to the center. Glass bottles are not accepted due to the risk of breakage in the classrooms and the amount of time that the children spend on the floor in these spaces. 3 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC

4 If families have decided to use bottles with drop in liners, a new liner and clean nipple will be needed for each feeding. The plastic body of the bottle may be reused at each feeding. Bottle nipples that are cracked, torn or gummy will not be used. The family will be contacted for a replacement to prevent further breakage that may be accidentally consumed or cause choking. Each bottle is to be labeled with the child s full name to prevent confusion at feedings times should other children have the same bottle in use. o Bottles can be labeled with permanent marker, dishwasher safe labels or bands. After use for formula or breast milk, all bottles will be rinsed and returned to your child s cubbie or bag for transporting home. Feeding a Bottle Please ensure that your child s teacher is aware of how your infant prefers to consume his or her bottle. Some infants prefer to have their bottles at room temperature; some do not mind a cold bottle, while others may truly enjoy a warm bottle of breast milk or formula. Bottles may be warmed in a bowl of warm water or a bottle warmer at the center. Microwave ovens will not be used for infant formula, breast milk or baby foods. Bottles may not be warmed for more than 5 minutes and all contents will be tested prior to offering to the infant (NAEYC 5.B.10). Once a bottle of formula or breast milk has been prepared and offered to the infant, the bottle may only be offered for one full hour before being discarded. Bottles that have been prepared and are unrefrigerated for one hour or greater will also be discarded (NAEYC 5.B.10). Infants are fed on demand (when the infant is showing signs of hunger) unless the parent and the infant's health care provider give written instructions otherwise. o An infant will not be forced to finish what is in the bottle. Babies are the best judges of how much they need. Infants will be held for bottle feeding. Bottle propping will not be permitted as this can cause ear infections or choking and deprives the infant of important cuddling and human contact. o Infants over the age of six months who are able to hold their bottle independently will be able to do so with proper supervision, yet teachers will make all attempts to hold infants, even those who are able to perform this task independently. Infants may not have bottles or sippy cups at naptime or while in their crib to prevent baby bottle tooth decay and choking. Bottles and sippy cups may not be carried by the infant through the classroom. This is to prevent other children from consuming the contents which was not intended for them as well as prevent injury should an infant fall with a bottle in their mouth. 4 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC

5 Teaching staff offer children fluids from a cup once the family decides that a child is developmentally ready to use a cup. Sweetened beverages will not be offered in a bottle - only breast milk, formula, water or whole milk (for children over the age of 12 months) will be offered. Infants are never forced to consume foods, formula or breast milk. Foods are never used in lieu of other forms of comfort. Infant Menus The Infant Menus provided by the center are approved by the USDA Child and Adult Food Program. Please review them and note that there are three distinct menus based on the age of the infant. The component on the menu required from birth through 12 months of age is formula or breast milk. The center is required to provide the stated minimum amount of formula or breast milk unless otherwise indicated by the infant s physician in writing, stating the need to omit a bottle or reduce the amount of formula or breast milk to be provided. Juice or water may not be used as a replacement for formula or breast milk unless indicated by the infant s physician. If indicated, the amount of water or juice, in ounces, number of times per day to be offered and the length of time to be offered must be stated in the physician s note. Solid Foods and Juices Introduction of solid foods will only begin after receiving approval from the infant s family through the use of the Introduction of Solid Foods Consent Form. When adding solids, add only one at a time and wait several days (at least a week) before adding another to be sure there is no reaction to the new food. Introduce a small amount, about 1 to 2 teaspoons of a new food at first. This allows a baby to adapt to a food's flavor and texture. Use singleingredient foods at first to easily see how the baby reacts to each new food. A new food should be offered to the infant a minimum of three times (over the course of 2 days) and tolerance established at home before the food is approved for feeding at the child care center. Solid foods for infants include; Iron-Fortified rice cereal, Iron-Fortified oatmeal cereal, single fruit and vegetable purees (banana, pear, apple, peaches, prunes, peas, green beans, squash and carrots) Solid foods may only begin after the age of 4 months unless otherwise indicated in writing by the infant s physician. This statement from the infant s physician must define the type of food and quantity to be served. 5 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC

6 Solid foods do not need to begin in an infant s diet until 8 months of age. If a family chooses not to include solid foods by 8 months of age, then a written statement from the infant s physician is required to document what foods are being omitted from the infant s diet and until what age. o See the attached infant menus for information regarding the meal patterns approved for early learning programs from the USDA Child and Adult Food Program. See your Center Director or refer to your family handbook to determine if the center you have chosen provides infant foods. Homemade baby foods are accepted for infants up to 12 months of age. We ask that families that make this choice document this decision on the Introduction to Solid Foods Consent Form. o Homemade baby foods must be labeled with the infant s full name, contents and the date prepared / defrosted. o Homemade foods must be provided daily and are to arrive defrosted to prevent delay in feeding your infant. Families who choose to provide their own commercially purchased infant foods to the center must provide foods in the factory sealed container. Solid foods will not be added to a child s bottle (i.e. adding cereal to an infant bottle). If your infant s physician recommends this practice, a written medical statement must be provided to the center stating the measured amount of cereal to the fluid ounces of formula or breast milk that is to be provided to the infant. The medical reason for this action must also be stated in the physician s note. Juice will not be offered to infants unless indicated by the infant s physician on a medical statement. A specific quantity of juice in ounces, the number of times per day to be offered and how long the practice is to be continued must be listed on the physician s note. o Juice will not be mixed with infant cereal unless a medical statement is provided by the infant s physician. Microwave ovens will not be used to heat foods. Foods may be warmed in a bowl of warm water or in a bottle warmer (if the container is able to fit). In the event that adaptive feeding equipment is needed, families are asked to provide any special equipment to the center in addition to the Special Care Plan completed by the infant s physician or therapist. Infants are never forced to consume foods, formula or breast milk. Foods are never used in lieu of other forms of comfort. Table Foods and the Center Menu If the infant is ready to receive table food before the age of 12 months, the family must provide documentation of this request on the Introduction to Solid Foods Consent Form. The infant may not be 6 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC

7 offered finely chopped table food before the age of 8 months unless indicated in writing by the infant s physician. When families choose to offer table food from the center, families will be provided with the center menus. (If you are in need of these, please ask your Center Director.) o Food items that MAY be offered to the infant are to be circled on the menu by the family. o The menus are to be signed and dated by the family and returned to the center. The menus will be placed in the infant s file with the other Infant Feeding paperwork to allow caregivers to know what foods may or may not be offered. o Table food will not be offered from the center menus until these signed and dated menus have been returned to the center. Teaching staff cut foods into pieces no larger than ¼ inch square for infants and ½ inch square for toddlers / twos, according to each child's chewing and swallowing capability. Honey or foods flavored with honey will not be offered to infants less than 12 months of age. Cow s milk will not be offered to children less than 12 months of age unless a medical statement from the infant s physician is provided stating the type of milk to be offered, amount of milk to be offered, and how often (breakfast, lunch and snack) it is to be offered. Teaching staff will not offer hot dog rounds, whole grapes, nuts, popcorn, raw peas, raw carrots, hard pretzels, large chunks of meat or peanut butter. (Peanut products are not permitted in HLC early learning centers.). If the infant should begin eating the foods from the center menu, please note the following due to requirements from the USDA Child and Adult Food Program for children less than 12 months of age: o There is no replacement for infant cereal at breakfast, so the minimum amount of cereal (2 tablespoons) must be offered and then the center breakfast may follow. o Adult cereals (Cheerios, Rice Krispies, etc.) may not be offered to children under 12 o o months of age due to the concern for choking. Sausage, meatless sausage, and fish may not be offered as the protein component to infants. On days when these items are listed on the center menu, an alternate protein can be provided by the family or infant cereal (rice or oatmeal) can be provided by the center. Acceptable snack options for an infant 8 to 11 months are 0 to 2 saltines, 0 to 2 graham crackers without honey, ½ slice of bread, ½ dinner roll, per the USDA Child and Adult Food Program. Families may provide commercial infant snacks (i.e. puffs) that can be offered in addition to the stated infant menu items. Families must sign the Introduction to Solid Food Consent Form to allow the center to provide these items from home. Microwave ovens will not be used to heat foods. 7 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC

8 Reminders: Written statements from your child s physician must be provided on physician letterhead or the physician s prescription pad. If your infant has started consuming foods from the center menu, please note that meal times are defined to allow for meals to be provided per CACFP requirements. Therefore, if you wish for your infant to have the center menu breakfast, please ensure that they have arrived at the center within an hour of the stated meal time as many kitchens are unable to hold meals beyond this time frame due to the upcoming meal preparation and concerns for food safety. 8 Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC
