SOME RESULTS OF STUDYING FEATURES OF NUTRITION OF CHILDREN OF EARLY AGE
Nutrition of the child is an important factor and plays a fundamental role in its normal physical and psychomotor development. In order to study the feeding habits of infants who are breastfed, a random sample was conducted by questioning 285 mothers who had children between the ages of one and a year and a half and 115 district pediatricians in St. Petersburg. The study showed that most mothers receive individual recommendations from their district pediatrician on the nutrition of the child. Most mothers start luring at the recommended time, listening to the advice of doctors. However, some mothers are not sufficiently aware of the timing of the introduction of individual foods in their child's diet and introduces them to previously recommended terms. When choosing products that are used to feed children, most mothers are primarily guided by the advice of the doctor and the quality of the products.
