Nutrition of the Newborn

Exclusive Breastfeeding Until 6 Months

During these first 1,000 days, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends, if possible, exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months to provide infants with the antibodies they need to protect them against many childhood diseases.

After 6 months, breast milk alone is no longer sufficient to meet the child’s nutritional needs. It is then recommended to introduce complementary foods: soft, semi-soft, and solid, into the child’s diet.

Between 6 and 23 months, meals should be balanced and diverse, including fruits, vegetables, eggs, dairy products, fish, and meat.
