Healthy eating for infants, toddlers and preschoolers
Breastfeeding gives your baby the best start for optimal growth and is recommended to two years and beyond. At around six months of age, your baby will be ready to start solid foods.
How you feed your baby and young child is just as important as what you feed them. Start family meals early, role model healthy eating, and support your child as they learn to eat and accept new foods.
