Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 2 (Reporters Gu Tiancheng and Li Heng) The average intake of breast milk for exclusively breastfed infants aged 0 to 5 months in my country is 800.1 grams per day, and the protein source of complementary food for infants aged 6 to 23 months is partial. High, iron and zinc deficiency...Recently, the Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported for the first time on the "13th Five-Year Plan" Ministry of Science and Technology's Basic Resources Survey "Investigation and Application of China's Children's Nutrition and Health System for Children Aged 0 to 18" Infants and young children Dietary survey data.
