RE: Infant calorie intake?

[Guest guest]

http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/nutrition/calorie_requirements.html

try this web site for calorie requirements. Keep in mind the

following:

Children with CF are expected to consume at least 20% more calories

and protein than their non-CF peers. Ensuring an adequate intake of

calories and essential fatty acids is critical. Lung infections also

increase the metabolic need for calories, driving up the required

calorie intake as much as 50% above the usual daily requirements.

(this infomation came from http://www.cfcare.com/nutrnsts.htm, if

you would like to read it in detail)

Your clinic may have 'samples' to give you for free, otherwise your

clinic can give you a Pari contact to order neb cups.

Kari,

I think it is either 35 or 50 calories per pound of weight. Your

nutritionist should be able to tell you.

Infant calorie intake?

Hi- I was wondering if anyone knows what the daily calorie intake of

a 10mo. old should be and what it should be of a child with cf should

be? Im just not sure how many caloies I should be aiming for. My

second ? is, is there a place online where i can order more reuseable

nebulizers for our Pari Proneb ultra? Thanks, Kari
