SCOTT'S EMULSION UNTUK NUTRISI HARIAN NALA

7:44:00 PM



Bicara mengenai perkembangan dan pertumbuhan anak nggak lepas dari soal makan. Kalau dipost sebelumnya saya sedikit cerita mengenai perjalanan menyusui Nala, di Post kali ini saya mau sedikit cerita soal MPASI Nala.


Masuk 6 bulan, saya mulai semangat mempersiapkan bahan-bahan makanan dan peralatan MPASI serta resep-resep MPASI. Saya ingat waktu hari pertama saya berikan puree wortel dan asip, tapi Nala menolak mentah-mentah. Saya shock dan nggak menyangka awal MPASI sudah horor begini. Nala sama sekali nggak mau buka mulut dan menangis jerit-jerit. Saya panik dan sedih, hiks.

Hari-hari selanjutnya pun tidak berbeda. Hampir sama dengan menyusui, tiap kali masuk waktu makan saya keringat dingin dan stress. Karena hampir setiap kali makan, Nala selalu menolak dan menjerit-jerit. Hingga mencapai usia 1 tahun lebih momen makan menjadi momen yang menegangkan, dan berat Nala semakin turun. Sedih, stress, dan panik jadi satu.

Saat itu saya sudah coba segala macam resep MPASI, tapi tidak ada satupun yang nampaknya benar-benar sukses. Hingga, ibu saya menyarankan saya untuk memberi suplemen tambahan supaya Nala nafsu makan atau supaya kebutuhan nutrisinya terpenuhi. Ya Tuhan, iya juga yaa.. Nala butuh nutrisi untuk perkembangan otaknya. Lalu bagaimana kalau Nala sesulit ini bahkan untuk membuka mulutnya?

Akhirnya Mama saya memberikan saran untuk memberikan suplemen tambahan, Scott's Emulsion. Kalau dengar Scott's Emulsion jadi inget jingle khasnya dari dulu ya yang "bajuku dulu.. tak begini, tapi kini tak cukup lagi.." sebenernya ini sih jingle hidup saya juga sekarang hahahahaha. Kata Mama saya, dulu pun saya meminum suplemen ini untuk tambahan nutrisi.Saya jadi ingat kalau dulu pun sejak kecil saya minum suplemen tersebut. Rasanya pun enak, malah saya ingat seringkali menjilati sendoknya karena rasa jeruknya yang segar hihihi.

Setelah menerima saran mama, saya langsung googling mengenai Scott's Emulsion ini. Dan ternyata Scott's Emulsion ini bukan hanya mengandung nutrisi yang dibutuhkan anak-anak saat masa pertumbuhannya tapi bahkan mengandung DHA. Sebagai ibu baru yang awam banget, saya sendiri masih nggak tau tadinya apa itu DHA apalagi mengenai manfaatnya buat anak-anak. Nah menurut sumber yang saya dapatkan, DHA adalah asam lemak Omega 3 tak jenuh ganda yang ditemukan secara alami dalam ikan berminyak dan sebagian buah-buahan.

DHA sendiri dibutuhkan untuk mendukung  penglihatan, perkembangan dan pertumbuhan otak anak. Nah lalu berapa banyak ya DHA yang dibutuhkan bagi anak-anak terutama Nala pada waktu itu? untuk anak usia 6-24 bulan diperlukan 10-12mg/kg berat badan anak. Nah DHA ini sebenarnya banyak bersumber dari makanan terutama dari makanan laut. Tapi ada beberapa anak-anak yang kurang suka makan makanan laut karena amis kan? Apalagi kaya Nala yang waktu itu mah bukan cuma susah makan-makanan laut, tapi segala makanan susah masuknya (huhu). Nah, saat itulah Scott's Emulsion ini sangat baik dikonsumsi karena dalam satu sendoknya saja sejumlah 15ml dapat membantu memenuhi 100% kebutuhan DHA dan EPA harian yang dianjurkan anak-anak. Aigoooo! (ter K-drama), ibarat dapet wahyu yakhaaann.

Selain ituuu, buat anak-anak yang mungkin kurang suka tekstur dari Scott's Emulsion yang kentel-kentel gimana gitu, namanya juga minyak ikan ya kan, bisa loh dicampur pada makanan dan endeeuuss buibuuu. Nih saya kasih salah satu resep yang bisa dicoba kalau anak ibu nggak mau minum mentah-mentah si Scott's ini.

cara membuat :

2. kemudian oleskan saus tersebut pada lembaran roti.

Nah, dengan dimasukkan kedalam resep begini kan anak-anak dijamin suka. Memang sebagai Ibu, kita harus pintar menyiasati hal-hal semacam ini pada anak-anak terutama soal makanan, hihihi. Kan demi perkembangan anak juga toh.
