Nutrition Throughout Growth and Development

Infant

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for the first 6
months of life and breastfeeding with additional foods from age 6 to 12
months.
Introduce new foods one at a time, 4-7 days apart, to identify allergies.
Infants should not have cow’s milk before the age of 1 year.
Children under 1 year of age should not ingest honey or corn syrup products
due to the risk of botulism toxin.
