Best-feeding-wholesome-baby-food-recipes

In addition, complementary feeding based on diversity allows forthe optimal development of the infant because it exposes him/her todifferent colours, textures, tastes, smells, and shapes.In the compilation of complementary feeding recipes fromacross Asia, we have tried to combine traditional wisdom with the latestscientific evidence on the nutritional needs of infants and young children.Since these recipes come from the homes of families, I hope overthe years more will be added to these flavours and textures. We hope thatthese recipes will make complementary feeding an exciting experiencefor both parents and children, and guide governments and internationalagencies into developing policies that encourage diversity-based feeding.The book highlights what is best for future generations and willhopefully serve as a guide for the whole world in its fight with thecommercial sector, whose ultra-processed products are competing withnatural family foods.As years pass by, the book, I hope, would be an example to keepup local foods from the family pot!Dr. Arun GuptaRegional CoordinatorIBFAN ASIAStudies from severalAsian countries haveshown thatdependency onpurchased, processedbaby foods increasesthe health costs forthe family as well asfor governmentsPREFACE • 03
