disease prevention.

life-stage.
This guidance document off ers practical advice on all aspects of food and nutrition from
conception through the fi rst year of life. All the information in this booklet is based on the
Scientifi c Recommendations for a National Infant Feeding Policy, 2nd Edition, 2011 |
