New Research on Health and Medicine from Massey University Summarized (Adherence to Infant Feeding Guidelines in the First Foods New Zealand Study).

A recent study conducted by Massey University in New Zealand aimed to assess adherence to the Ministry of Health's "Healthy Eating Guidelines for New Zealand Babies and Toddlers (0-2 years old)." The study analyzed data from 625 infants aged 7.0-10.0 months and found that while most caregivers followed recommendations for solid food introduction, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding could be improved. The study suggests that New Zealand families may require more support in this area. The research highlights the importance of adherence to infant feeding guidelines for optimal infant health, growth, and development. [Extracted from the article]
