infant feeding guidelines

Infant feeding guidelines recommend exclusive breastfeeding for about the first six months, providing all necessary nutrients and immune support. If breastfeeding isn't possible, infant formula is a suitable alternative. After six months, solid foods can be introduced gradually while continuing breastfeeding or formula feeding. It’s important to ensure the baby’s diet is balanced, safe, and developmentally appropriate. Avoid giving honey, cow's milk, or foods that could pose choking risks until the baby is older. Regular pediatric check-ups help monitor growth and nutrition. These guidelines support healthy growth, development, and immune function, tailored to each baby’s needs.
