At this opportunity, I will explain about how the right way in the provision of nutrition for infants.

In my experience, giving fruits to babies should be done at the time of infants aged 8-10 months. This I do because I want to see the baby in the ability to digest fruits. In what ways do I do? I did it by seeing and examining stools. If there is fruit that are still remaining, meaning the baby's digestive system is still not ready to accept fruit.

• pomelo
• Durian

• Mangosteen
