A South African nutrition guide based on the national food-based dietary guidelines. It breaks feeding recommendations down by age — exclusive breastfeeding from 0–6 months, introducing complementary foods from 6 months, and building toward a varied diet by age 3–7 with regular small meals, starchy foods, fruit and vegetables, and plenty of water.

It highlights the most common nutrient deficiencies in young children — iron, calcium, vitamins A, C and D — and provides practical food lists for each nutrient. It also includes a visual plate guide for 1–6 year olds showing recommended daily servings across fruits and vegetables, protein, grains and dairy. Key advice: avoid salty, sugary and fatty snacks until age 3, encourage activity from 12 months, and always wash hands before meals.
