Nutritional Advice for Children
- Protect children under the age of 2 from bacterial or viral infections because their immune functions are not yet fully developed. If they do get infected, avoid the long term use of antibiotics.
- Feed children homemade foods as much as possible especially when they are sick and their digestive functions are weak.
- Avoid feeding children barbecued meat as poorly cooked meat is more likely to induce allergies.
- Start introducing a diverse variety of foods to children as early as 6 months of age to prevent allergic reactions in the future.
