INFANT AND YOUNG CHILD

FEEDING (IYCF)
EXERCISE 4. HNF 22. GROUP 2

The growth and development of the infant highly depends

on his or her intake. Studies suggest that exclusive
breastfeeding should be done for the first 6 months as it
provides nutrients needed for this early stage. However for
the succeeding months, it goes down to providing half of
the nutritional requirement of the baby. This is where the
importance of complementary feeding comes in.
