Infant & Child Nutrition

Dr. Ajay Kumar, a distinguished pediatrician, emphasizes the critical role of proper nutrition in infant and child development. In his practice, he underscores the significance of providing infants with breast milk exclusively for the first six months of life, as recommended by leading health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Breast milk not only offers essential nutrients but also provides antibodies that help protect infants against infections and diseases.
As children grow, Dr. Kumar advocates for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products. He educates parents on the importance of introducing a variety of foods to their children to ensure they receive all necessary nutrients for optimal growth and development.
Additionally, Dr. Kumar educates parents on the dangers of excessive sugar, salt, and processed foods in a child's diet, which can contribute to obesity and other health issues later in life. He encourages healthy eating habits from an early age to establish a foundation for lifelong wellness.
Through his expertise and guidance, Dr. Ajay Kumar empowers parents to make informed decisions regarding their children's nutrition, laying the groundwork for a healthy and thriving future.
