Food Chart for Infants - I

Infants - When we talk about Infants - we split this age into three stages. After birth of the baby we have to feed every 2 Hours or 3 Hours gap according to the baby. Don't put the baby in bed after feeding. Hold the baby in your shoulder upto when you hear a 'burp' sound from your baby. Don't feed your baby on bed. Everytime when you feed your kid Please Sit and hold your baby's head and body in your both hands.

Upto 6 months:-

Compulsorily we give breast milk to the infant. It is the best food for the child and it contains all the Vitamins, Proteins, Carbohydrates and fats. Leukocytes that are living cells only found in breastmilk which help the baby to fight against infection. It is not only best for infants, but also very useful for the Mom to recover after delivery. It avoids breast cancer for the Mom. The baby become stronger and stronger, howlong they drink Mother's breastmilk.

"BreastMilk is the God's Gift given by God to every Child" - whether they are poor or rich. So please feed it howlong it is possible. If the mother feel the baby is not fulfill with the Mother milk of Breast milk then we go for the alternate food only after 3 months.

After 3 months:-(alternative food)
