Who Should Ear A Girdle



I did not choose to breastfeed simple spirit of contraction or provocation of course. I'm rather proud to give my daughter the best, here are the recommendations of WHO

" Q: Until what age the nutritional needs of infants are they covered by breastfeeding?

A: The infant feeding within must be exclusive, that is to say, no other food intake than breast milk until the age of six months for the child has a growth, development and optimum health.
"Breastfeeding within the exclusive "is defined by the fact that one does not give the child only breast milk and no other food or drink, not even water.
However, one can administer drops or syrups (vitamins, minerals or medicines). Breast milk is the ideal food for growth and development of infants.
Breastfeeding is an integral part of reproductive and has important implications for the health of the mother.
WHO recommends the introduction of other foods, in addition to breast milk, from the age of six months (180 days). These foods will be given two to three times per day between 6 and 8 months, increasing three times daily between 9 and 11 months with a nutritious snack. Between 12 and 24 months, children are given three meals and two nutritious snacks offered between meals. These foods should be adequate, meaning that they provide enough calories, protein and micronutrients to meet the nutritional needs of a growing child. Food must be prepared and given in good sanitary conditions for minimizing the risk of contamination. To feed a child, it requires active care and stimulation to encourage eating.
The transition from breastfeeding within the exclusive use of family foods is a very delicate phase for the infant. During this period, many children suffer from poor nutrition and are an important part of the prevalence of malnutrition in children under 5 years worldwide. It is therefore crucial that infants complementary foods safe, adequate and sufficient for the transition between breastfeeding and consumption of family foods is going well. "
