Optimization of Infant Nutrition: Exploring Feeding Practices Among Indian Mothers
Our study revealed that most parents adhered to recommended guidelines by exclusively breastfeeding their children, which holds crucial significance in a developing country like India. Parents resorted to formula feeding only when necessary for optimal nutrition. Nestle NanPro was the preferred choice. While most parents demonstrated commendable awareness through growth monitoring and supplementation, there's a crucial need for campaigns to dispel misconceptions and promote proper feeding practices.
