Pediatric Nutrition

There is no other time in life where proper and balanced nutritional provision is more important than infancy and childhood. The decisions parents make about feeding and nourishing their babies have short-term and long-term effects on the subsequent growth and development of the baby. Choosing the right nutrition, such as breastfeeding, can reduce infections and chronic gastrointestinal disorders. Breast-fed babies are in good overall health, so nutritional choices for children are an important consideration.
