portions to mix many times. Especially, in these days of diarrhea, babies need to
be fed with soft, digestible and nutritious foods.

vitamins, essential minerals to increase resistance to help babies reduce the
risks of infection by feeding the full four groups of foods: starch, proteins,
fat, vitamins and minerals for babies and should not be excessively abstinent. Also,
mothers should pay attention to choosing and processing foods so that they are

not putting pressure on babies in the meals, processing and decorating the
dishes corresponding with baby’s interests. In addition to three main meals a
day, babies need feeding the alternate additional meals with milk and fruit. Mothers
should not feed them to babies near mealtime and should encourage babies in the
physical activities so that babies are rapidly hungry and want to eat.
