Infant Nutritional Guidelines

Infant nutritional guidelines recommend exclusive breastfeeding or formula feeding for the first six months to ensure optimal growth and development. After six months, introduce solid foods gradually while continuing breastfeeding or formula. Offer a variety of nutritious foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins, to meet growing needs. Avoid added sugars, salt, and honey. Ensure proper hydration with clean water as the baby starts eating solids. Regular check-ups help monitor growth and address any nutritional concerns. Adequate nutrition supports healthy brain development, immune function, and physical growth during this critical stage.
