Infect the first nutrition of the child is provided by the mother through the breast milk till six months after which the child needs some supplementary food in addition to mother’s milk. If the child does not get the balanced diet, the child becomes the victim of malnutrition. Mother’s milk is a complete balanced diet and even protects the child from various fatal diseases.
