During the first year of life, infants triple their birth-weight and double their surface area, making this a period of very rapid growth which is never repeated during the life cycle.
This report on infant feeding provides information on nutrition and nutrition-related topics for children during the first year of life. It has been developed in response to increasing awareness of the importance of infant nutrition and in the knowledge that no comprehensive source of information on infant feeding was available in Ireland.
