Babies are being weaned on junk food

Experts in Australia have been appalled by the research that showed that babies as young as four weeks are being fed with junk food like biscuits, cakes, ice-cream and soft drinks. Six months old babies are fed with the unhealthy y food and it reaches 91.6% by 12 months for biscuits and cakes, 78.6 per cent for chips, 68 per cent for ice-cream and 46 per cent for takeaways which are fat-laden. However, this irrational act is not caused by lack of education or social economic status. In turn, this happens as nowadays mothers seen junk food as the weaning food. The unhealthy phenomenon with the statistics released which showed that 20% of Australian toddlers were obese indicate an urgent need to abridge feeding guidelines, and communicate them to young parents more effectively. Instead, infants should be fed with pureed fruits and vegetables, with baby rice and milk.
