In the “battle of the bulge”, scientists have found protein-rich soyfoods may help individuals lose weight and fat when replacing other sources of protein in the diet.

Introduce your baby to drinking from a cup or beaker from around 6 months and offer sips of water with meals.
Babies under six months should only drink tap water that has been boiled and cooled down. Water straight from the tap is not sterile so is not suitable for younger babies. Once your baby is six months old, you can offer them water straight from the tap in a beaker or cup.
From 6 months of age, you can give your baby small amounts of water, if needed, in addition to their breastmilk or formula feeds. From around 6 months old, you can offer small amounts of cooled boiled tap water but not replace their breastmilk or formula feeds.
Water for babies over 6 months doesn't need to be boiled. Bottled water isn't recommended for making up infant formula feeds as it may contain too much salt (sodium) or sulphate. Like tap water, bottled water isn't sterile, so it will need to be boiled before you use it to prepare a feed.
You don't need to give your baby or newborn water until she's about four months old or when she starts solid foods. Cold water can be a fun way to introduce a sippy cup when baby's around six months old, and it can be soothing on teething gums.
A: According to the Institute of Medicine's Dietary Reference Intakes for Electrolytes and Water, the Adequate Intake (AI) for water for children aged 1 to 3 is 1.3 liters per day; that's about 44 fluid ounces, or the equivalent of 5-1/2 8 ounce cups of water.
Water for babies over 6 months doesn't need to be boiled. Like tap water, bottled water isn't sterile, so it will need to be boiled before you use it to prepare a feed. Always use boiled water at a temperature of at least 70C when you prepare a feed. Remember to let the feed cool before you give it to your baby.
Offer milk, juice or water after a meal in a cup. Never allow your child to keep a bottle in bed. The sugar in milk or juice will stick to your child's teeth, and won't be washed away by saliva during sleep.
From 6 to 12 months, babies don't actually need water, but a few sips here and there will help them get accustomed to drinking water. Older infants, between 9 and 12 months, can and should drink more—a few ounces a day, Altmann says.
