Infant and child nutrition is vital for the healthy growth and development of young children. Dr. Anshul Gupta emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet tailored to each stage of a child's growth. In infancy, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months provides essential nutrients and immunity. As the child grows, a gradual introduction of complementary foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins is crucial. Dr. Gupta also stresses the importance of monitoring for potential deficiencies like iron and vitamin D, ensuring optimal development and preventing common health issues through timely, nutritious dietary interventions.
