Track 06. Pediatric Nutrition: From Infancy to Adolescence

Nurturing Healthy Growth from Infancy to Adolescence : Pediatric nutrition is a specialized branch of nutrition focused on the dietary needs of children, from the moment they are born through their adolescent years. This critical period of growth and development lays the foundation for a child's lifelong health and well-being. Here's a comprehensive overview of pediatric nutrition at different stages of childhood:

Breastfeeding vs. Formula Feeding: Breast milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition, providing essential nutrients, antibodies, and promoting a strong immune system. However, when breastfeeding is not possible, formula feeding can be a suitable alternative, designed to mimic the nutritional profile of breast milk.

Solid Foods: Around 6 months of age, infants begin to transition to solid foods. This process, called weaning, typically starts with iron-fortified rice cereal and pureed fruits and vegetables. Parents should introduce new foods one at a time to monitor for allergies and sensitivities.

Nutrient-Rich Diet: Infants require adequate amounts of protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals for healthy growth. Iron is particularly important as it supports cognitive development.
