Keywords:
rational nutrition, children under two years, infant and young child feeding (IYCF)Abstract
Children's physical development slows somewhat starting in their second year of life, but remains quite rapid. During the second and third years, children gain approximately 5 kg in weight and grow 16–20 cm. Active growth during this period is associated with intensive development of the skeletal and muscular systems.
