NNutritionally adequate feeding in the first year of life is critical for satisfactory growth and development of the child. It is proven that Breast Feeding is the best nutrition for an infant,since it provides several benefits to the infant, like building up the defence mechanism & protecting against allergic and respiratory diseases.In case breast feeding cannot be continued, then cow’s milk, goat’s milk or formula milk may be substituted.
At 4-6 months of age, weaning may begin depending on the readiness of the infant. Fluid foods may be introduced, increasing the amount & variety to semi solids very gradually.It is advisable not to use processed baby food. Freshly prepared home made semi solid foods should be introduced.
Inappropriate infant feeding practices, such as early interruption of breast feeding or the unsuitable introduction of CF and excessive consumption of industrialized products high amounts of sugar, fat, and sodium, can lead to feeding inadequacies throughout childhood.
As children grow, their environment plays a big role in their development, effecting both intelligence & behavioral development.Their development is effected by many variables including hygiene, proper nutrition & physical activity. Children in particular need a healthy eating pattern as the habits they learn today will establish their health in future

Why Processed Food should be Avoided
It should be remembered that the concept of processed food was introduced after the First World War when there was a scarcity of supplies. In order to make sufficient food available for the population, it had to be processed in such a way as to enable preservation & transportation. During this process organic methods of food preservation were replaced by chemical preservation. Instead of organic raw material, artificially prepared chemical substitutes were used.
Therefore, the excessive consumption of processed foods by choice & not necessity contributes to the diet in a negative way. It adds preservatives, food colouring, unrestricted amounts of energy, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium to the diet.
Excess sugar
Processed foods are known to include excess sugar. This sugar can have a negative impact on your child’s behaviour. When children have tantrums, it could therefore be a result of their blood insulin levels being unstable.
Sugar can weaken the immune system, making it difficult for children to fight infection and making them more susceptible to different illnesses. It can also be the cause of hyperactivity and low concentration.
Artificial coloring
Artificial coloring is another ingredient that processed foods contain. These synthetic ingredients can be detrimental to a child’s health and the root of allergies & low resistance.tantrums.
MSG
Mono sodium glutamate.( MSG) is a flavor enhancer found in processed foods such as fast food, snack foods, seasonings, and frozen meals. MSG can harm a child’s health and be the root of high sodium levels causing high blood pressure at an early stage in life.
