Child Nutrition

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months provides optimal nutrition
Introduce solid foods at 6 months while continuing to breastfeed up to 2 years
A stunted child is short for their age — caused by chronic undernutrition
Wasting (low weight-for-height) indicates acute, recent undernutrition
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in children
Regular growth monitoring detects problems early — attend well-child visits
In Nigeria, the under-5 mortality rate has improved significantly — good nutrition is key
