Genesis 2 NIV - Thus the heavens and the earth were 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Adam and Eve 4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. 5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. 23 The man said, 25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Your baby's first solid foods - Pregnancy and baby guide When to start introducing solid foods Introducing your baby to solid foods – sometimes called weaning or complementary feeding – should start when your baby is around six months old. It's a really important step in their development, and it can be great fun to explore new flavours and textures together. To begin with, how much your baby takes is less important than getting them used to the idea of eating. Babies don't need three meals a day to start with, so you can begin by offering foods at a time that suits you both. Gradually, you'll be able to increase the amount and variety of food your baby eats, until they can eventually eat the same as the rest of the family, in smaller portions. Why it pays to wait until they're ready Research shows babies can get all the nutrients they need from breast milk or infant formula until they are around six months old. If you are breastfeeding, having breast milk alone up to the age of six months will protect your baby against infections. 1. 2. 3. Cups

Foods to avoid giving your baby - Pregnancy and baby guide Salt Babies shouldn’t eat much salt, as it isn't good for their kidneys. Don't add salt to your baby’s food and don't use stock cubes or gravy, as they're often high in salt. Sugar Your baby doesn’t need sugar. Honey Occasionally, honey contains bacteria that can produce toxins in a baby’s intestines, leading to infant botulism, which is a very serious illness. Nuts Whole nuts, including peanuts, shouldn't be given to children under five, as they can choke on them. Raw jelly cubes Raw jelly cubes can be a choking hazard for babies and young children. 'Low-fat' foods Fat is an important source of calories and some vitamins for babies and young children. Saturated fat Don't give your child too many foods that are high in saturated fat, such as crisps, biscuits and cakes. Shark, swordfish and marlin Don't give your baby shark, swordfish or marlin.

How to help a choking child - Pregnancy and baby guide Children, particularly those aged from one to five, often put objects in their mouth. This is a normal part of how they explore the world. Some small objects, such as marbles, beads and button batteries, are just the right size to get stuck in a child’s airway and cause choking. The best way to avoid this is to make sure that small objects like these are kept out of your child’s reach. No matter how careful you are, your child may choke on something. There can be other reasons why your child starts coughing. If you can see the object, try to remove it. Back blows for babies under one year Sit down and lay your baby face down along your thighs, supporting their head with your hand. Back blows for children over one year Lay a small child face down on your lap as you would a baby. If back blows don't relieve the choking and your baby or child is still conscious, give chest thrusts (see below) to infants under one year or abdominal thrusts (see below) to children over one year.
food safety nutdition scheme 3 colors The Five Food Groups | Eat For Health The key to eating well is to enjoy a variety of nutritious foods from each of the Five Food Groups. These Five Food Groups make up the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating (see right). Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of the key nutrients of that food group. For example, the key nutrients of the milk, yogurt, cheese and alternatives food group include calcium and protein, while the fruit group is a good source of vitamins, especially vitamin C. To meet the nutrient requirements essential for good health, you need to eat a variety from each of the five food groups daily, in the recommended amounts. It is not necessary to eat from each food group at every meal. It is also important to enjoy a variety of foods within each of the Five Food Groups because different foods vary in the amount of the key nutrients that they provide.
Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adults, Adolescents and Children in Australia (2013) | National Health and Medical Research Council Synopsis In 2010, the Australian Government’s Department of Health and Ageing commissioned the NHMRC to develop Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Overweight and Obesity for Adults, Adolescents and Children in Australia. Intended for use by clinicians including general practitioners, primary health care nurses, primary health care professionals and allied health professionals, the Guidelines follow the primary care ‘5As’ framework: ask and assess, advise, assist, arrange. The Guidelines make recommendations regarding the management of individuals who have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25.0 kg/m2 and are at risk or currently have an obesity related comorbidity. For further information on what Australians should eat to be healthy and prevent diet related diseases, refer to the Australian Dietary Guidelines and the Eat for Health resources available at www.eatforhealth.gov.au (link is external). Note: Minor amendments were made to the Guidelines in September 2013.
