NutriKids : Baby and Toddler Nutrition
Programs for Parents and Careproviders
Breastfeeding and Breastmilk / Formula milk is still the important food. However, at 6 months of age, with the growth of the baby, the needs of the baby change or increase and hence foods that can complement breastmilk or formula milk need to be introduced. These foods are started based on recommendations and developmental growth of the baby.
When your baby turns into a toddler, many new aspects of development and food patterns are taken into consideration. It’s the time you want to introduce salt, cow's milk and foods right from the family pot. It's also the time that the baby’s activity levels increase so it's important that the baby’s calories are replaced with nutrient dense foods.
