Feeding the Infant and Child

V3.5

(Verse 1) From birth to six months, it’s breast milk or formula, No need for solids, no need for other flora. Exclusive breastfeeding, the gold standard indeed, For nutrition and bonding, it’s all that they need. (Chorus) Feeding the infant, feeding the child, From milk to solids, take it slow, not wild. Introducing new foods, watch for the cues, A balanced diet will give them the right fuse. (Verse 2) Six months in, time to start the weaning, Iron-rich foods, that’s the meaning. Rice cereal, pureed fruits, and veggies green, Introduce one at a time, keep it clean. (Chorus) Feeding the infant, feeding the child, From milk to solids, take it slow, not wild. Introducing new foods, watch for the cues, A balanced diet will give them the right fuse. (Bridge) Finger foods, textures, let them explore, A variety of flavours, they’ll ask for more. Avoid honey and cow’s milk till they’re one, Safe eating habits, make mealtime fun. (Chorus) Feeding the infant, feeding the child, From milk to solids, take it slow, not wild. Introducing new foods, watch for the cues, A balanced diet will give them the right fuse. (Outro) From infants to toddlers, nutrition’s the key, For growth and development, they’ll thrive, you’ll see. Feeding the infant, feeding the child, With love and patience, they’ll grow healthy and mild.
