AAP Policy Statements

AAP Policy Statements are official guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics to promote best practices in child health and wellbeing. They provide evidence-based recommendations for healthcare providers, caregivers, and policymakers on topics such as nutrition, safety, development, and disease prevention. These policies aim to ensure children receive consistent, high-quality care and support healthy growth. While rooted in research, they are designed to be practical and adaptable to various settings, helping everyone involved in children's lives make informed decisions that benefit their physical, emotional, and social development.
