Feeding Guidelines for Infants.

Infants require proper nutrition for healthy growth and development. Here are some general guidelines for good feeding practices for infants:

Breast milk or formula: Infants should be fed breast milk or formula exclusively for the first six months of life. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for infants, but if it's not an option, formula can also provide the necessary nutrients.

Frequency of feedings: Infants need to be fed frequently, about every 2-3 hours in the first few months of life, and then gradually decrease to about 4-5 feedings per day by the time they are 6 months old.

Solid foods introduction: Around 6 months of age, infants can start to be introduced to solid foods, such as iron-fortified cereals, pureed vegetables, and fruits. Start with small amounts and gradually increase the quantity and variety.

Introduction of new foods: Introduce new foods one at a time, and wait a few days before introducing another new food. This helps to identify any allergies or sensitivities.

Avoid choking hazards: Avoid feeding infants small, hard, or round foods that can be choking hazards, such as nuts, popcorn, grapes, and hot dogs.

Water: Infants do not need water until they start eating solid foods, but after that, they may be offered water in a cup or a bottle.

Responsive feeding: Infants should be fed when they are hungry and stopped when they show signs of fullness. Pay attention to your infant's cues, such as turning away, spitting out food, or becoming fussy.

Avoid sugary or high-fat foods: Avoid giving infants sugary or high-fat foods, such as candy, soda, and fried foods, as these can contribute to obesity and dental caries.

Remember that every infant is different, and feeding practices may need to be adjusted based on their individual needs and preferences. Consult with a healthcare professional for specific advice on feeding your infant.
