After 6 months breast milk alone does not meet the nutritional needs of the growing infant. They require protein, energy, iron, zinc and other vitamins. Also the infant need to progress from an all liquid diet to family foods. So to help in this transition and to give the extra nutrients complementary foods are required.

Calcium and vitamin d play an important role in the growth and development of bones in babies.

Iron is very important for babies as it's deficiency can lead to anaemia which results in poor health and functional impairment. So iron is very much important for cognitive development.

DHA is very important as it helps in improved cognitive function, better visual acuity, and enhanced learning abilities.

Nucleotides are vital for infants as they are essential for the growth and repair of the gastrointestinal tract, support a healthy immune system, and in fluence gut microbiome.

The importance of FOS and GOS is that they act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacterium to support healthy digestion and immune system development.
