Breast milk alone can meet nutrient needs during the first 6 months of life, with the possible exception of Vitamin D in certain populations and iron in infants with relatively low birth weight. Complementary foods offered before 6 months of age tend to displace breast milk and do not confer any growth advantage over exclusive breastfeeding. Breast milk continues to provide substantial amounts of key nutrients well beyond the first year of life, especially protein, fat and most vitamins. The nutrients most likely to be limiting in the diets of breastfed infants are minerals such as iron, zinc and calcium. Breastfed infants tend to gain less weight and are usually leaner than formula-fed infants in the second half of infancy, apparently because of infant self-regulation of energy intake. New growth charts based on infants breastfed throughout the first year of life are being developed by the World Health Organization.
