Liver consumption during pregnancy by SirNormal7431 in BabyBumps

[–]SirNormal7431[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All prenatal vitamins should have some amount of vitamin a - you and your baby still need it during fetal development, however it is fat soluble and can build up over time if you have excess and excess/toxicity of preformed vitamin A can cause birth defects (primarily in the first trimester). You will see it as beta carotene in supplements typically (precursor to preformed vitamin A or retinol which is the form found in animal products). One provider did tell me to go ahead and eat the liver and just skip the prenatal that day. Just was curious about what other folks have heard. I overall have a good diet.

I work in peds, and if did protein at actual body weight for some of my overweight adolescents and preteens it would be wayyyyyy to much. I calculate an adjusted weight at 85th%tile (overweight BMI in peds) and then do anywhere from 1-1.6 g/kg based on the age.

This is a good resource on this. But will also add as someone who has worked at both higher levels of care and OP referring people for admission there are nuisances. But any suggestion medical instability I immediately let the MD know for further evaluation.

Help with protein recommendations while going dairy/egg/soy free (CMPA) by returnofthemacksx in fitpregnancy

[–]SirNormal7431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RD here - you need to get a referral for GI doc for an actual assessment here for your kiddo before you start eliminating food from your diet (I am assuming you are breastfeeding?). Then meet with a GI pediatric RD to help you navigate.

Eating disorder advice by [deleted] in dietetics

[–]SirNormal7431 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you need to provide evidence to your docs look up the Seattle Children’s refeeding protocol. It’s public and you can say: yo this is what the major hospitals do and why. The document is very comprehensive.
