    The determination of children’s health outcomes and their precursors such as healthy eating, is a difficult process in which individuals must consider various academic resources to develop an appropriate perspective. However, it is in determining the value of these resources, regarding their impact on our understanding of early childhood health, where the problem lies.

The current recommendations from the World Health Organisation (WHO) are that infants should start receiving foods in addition to breast milk from 6 months onwards. At this age, infants are developmentally ready to manage whole foods, they can sit upright, pick up and chew foods.…
