💊 ND Word of the Day: Maintenance Medications
These are prescribed drugs taken regularly to help manage chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

🚫 Contrary to common myths, maintenance meds do NOT harm your body—they help control your condition, prevent complications, and support a better quality of life.

🧠 Always verify health information. Claims that these medications are harmful or just for profit are often misleading. Doctors and health professionals prescribe them based on science and medical necessity, not for personal gain.

🥗 When combined with proper nutrition and a healthy diet, maintenance medications can be a powerful duo for long-term health and wellness.

Enjoy your carbs!

👶🏽 CHILD FEEDING: What Comes After Birth?

Here’s how feeding is done in early childhood:

🍼 1. Exclusive Breastfeeding or Bottle Feeding (0–6 months)

During the first 6 months, babies are fed either only breast milk or formula. This means no water or solid food is introduced yet—just milk, which provides everything the baby needs.

🥣 2. Complementary Feeding (6–24 months)

From 6 months, babies are introduced to solid foods while continuing with milk feeds. This stage involves gradually adding soft, mashed, and later solid foods to meet growing nutritional needs.

👉🏽 These stages are the next steps in the 1,000-day journey, where every feeding decision helps shape a healthier future.
