Infant nutrition mainly refers to the nutrition of children in the first year after birth. The key to infant nutrition lies in promoting breastfeeding and adding complementary foods at appropriate times to meet the needs of infant growth and development.

From the perspective of nutritional classification, the main nutrients required by infants include carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats, proteins, fiber, and water. These nutrients play important roles in the growth and development of infants.
