What is the importance of gastrointestinal development?
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for nutrient absorption and digestion. In infants, the GI tract is still maturing, which can sometimes lead to issues like [colic](href) or reflux. Breastfeeding provides the ideal nutrition and supports the development of the GI system. Introducing solid foods at the appropriate age and ensuring a balanced diet are crucial for maintaining a healthy GI tract.
