Nutrition in the early years is crucial for growth, brain development, and overall health. Infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months if possible. Breast milk provides essential nutrients and antibodies. If breastfeeding is not an option, iron-fortified infant formula is recommended.
At around six months, solid foods should be introduced, starting with iron-rich foods. Toddlers need a balanced diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins. Proper nutrition supports their rapid growth and helps build a strong immune system.
