Feeding practices refer to the methods and routines used to provide food to individuals, particularly infants and young children. These practices can include breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and introducing solid foods. Proper feeding practices are essential for ensuring adequate nutrition and promoting healthy growth and development. Cultural beliefs and family traditions often influence feeding practices. For example, some cultures may prioritize breastfeeding for an extended period, while others may introduce solid foods earlier. Understanding these practices can help caregivers make informed decisions about nutrition and support the well-being of children during their formative years.
