Breastmilk is the best for babies. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding or other food and drinks will have a negative impact on breastfeeding. After six months of age, infants should receive age-appropriate foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. Consult your doctor before deciding to use infant formula or if you have difficulty breastfeeding.
Toddlers grow and develop at an incredible rate, so it's important that they get nutrition that is tailored to their bodies' needs. During this phase, it's normal for their appetites to fluctuate - they may eat lots of food one day and much less the next.
Each day, toddlers need three meals and some snacks made up of foods from the four main food groups, in the right balance and in portion sizes just right for them. With your constant encouragement, following this nutrition guide can help your little one develop healthy eating habits that will last for the years to come.
