Infant and toddler nutrition guidance

Importance of nutrition in the first two years

Good nutrition during the first two years of life is essential for healthy growth and development. Starting healthy eating practices early helps children build long-term dietary patterns that support their overall well-being. Resources and guidance can help caregivers provide appropriate nutrition for infants and toddlers. This includes breastfeeding support, tips for infant formula feeding, bottle-feeding basics, and ideas for introducing foods and drinks for children from about 6 to 24 months. Additional information on mealtime routines and the role of vitamins and minerals can further support healthy feeding.
