What are the current guidelines regarding “normal” infant feeding?
Infant feeding is the feeding of a child from birth to one year of age. “Normal” infant feeding is defined as breastfeeding for at least the first year of life and introduction of iron-rich complementary foods around 6 months of age. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that human breast milk is the optimal food for human infants. Normal Infant Feeding, 0-12 months, (PDF)provides guidelines for normal infant feeding.
