What are the nutritional requirements for infants?
Infants have unique nutritional needs essential for their rapid growth and development. During the first six months, it is recommended that babies are exclusively breastfed, as breast milk contains the perfect balance of nutrients, including proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. If breastfeeding is not possible, iron-fortified infant formula is the best alternative. After six months, complementary foods should be introduced while continuing to breastfeed.
