Breastfeeding and Infant Nutrition

Infant feeding practices and preferences vary from family to family. While human milk offers ideal nutrition for babies, not everyone chooses or is able to breastfeed their infant. It is important for every Head Start family to feel supported in their infant feeding choice and for every baby to receive proper age-appropriate nutrition. These resources will help Head Start staff promote evidence-based feeding practices for infants and support families in nourishing their babies with human milk or formula.
