Reposting this month's F1KD postings which highlights the fifth topic of the 10 Building Blocks of Nutrition in the First 1000 Day: The right foods introduced to babies at the right times.

Breast milk is the perfect first food for babies from 0-6 months old. It gives them all the energy and nutrients they need during this time. For the best growth, development, and health, babies should only have breast milk for their first six months.

After this period, babies need more than just breast milk to stay healthy as they grow. They should start eating right and nutritious solid foods alongside breast milk until they're at least two years old or even older. The transition from exclusive breastfeeding to family foods, referred to as "complementary feeding", typically occurs between 6-23 months of age.

For more information about nutrition in the first 1000 days, like and follow National Nutrition Council Region X page.

Always remember to take your supplements mommies! ☺️

Prenatal vitamins are supplements made for those who are pregnant to give their bodies the vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy pregnancy. Your doctor may suggest that you take them when you begin to plan for pregnancy as well as while you’re pregnant.

When choosing pregnancy vitamins, make sure they aren't expired or will expire soon. If you have food allergies or sensitivities, make sure those aren't on the ingredient list. Some vitamins can include things like corn, eggs, or wheat. If you are concerned about the quality of your prenatal vitamins, ask your doctor to see if there are brands they recommend.
