Infant Feeding

Healthy infant feeding tools for parents and caregivers.

The first years of life are an important time for the development of feeding skills. These years lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating habits. General Mills Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition recognizes the importance of these stages of development. That's why we've created a practical resource for health professionals to use with parents of young children. Based on Nutrition for Healthy Term Infants (a document jointly developed by the Canadian Paediatric Society, Dietitians of Canada and Health Canada), the resource is an effective way to teach parents how to best foster the development of their child's feeding skills.
