Using the recommendations of the Committe on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics for infant formulas as a scientific base, practical guidelines for feeding infants are given. Breast feeding or the use of a prepared formula meets these recommendations while evaporated milk, fresh cow's milk, and skimmed milk, despite widespread use for many years, do not. The feeding of strained foods and infants cereals should be begun when the infant has reached the stage of development appropriate for feeding from a spoon and swallowing nonliquid foods, usually between 3 and 6 months of age. Lifelong eating patterns begin during this period. Adjusting caloric intake to needs and learning to enjoy a variety of foods are major objectives of feeding practices.
以美国儿科学会营养委员会关于婴儿配方奶粉的建议为科学依据，给出了喂养婴儿的实用指南。母乳喂养或使用配方奶粉符合这些建议，而炼乳、新鲜牛奶和脱脂牛奶，尽管多年来广泛使用，但并不符合。当婴儿达到适合用勺子喂食和吞咽非流质食物的发育阶段时，通常在3至6个月大时，应开始喂食辅食和婴儿谷物。终身的饮食模式在此期间开始形成。根据需求调整热量摄入并学会享受各种食物是喂养实践的主要目标。
