Recommended Daily Allowance for Infants and Toddlers

* Although ICMR has not made any specific recommendations for the consumption of fats for babies, it is essential in moderation for the healthy growth and development of your baby.
* * Breast milk is a poor source of iron. However, babies are born with adequate iron stores which suffice their requirement for the first 6 months. Therefore, the requirement for this nutrient begins only after the age of 6 months.
