Abstract
The article discusses issues related to the introduction of complementary feeding in light of new ideas about its role in preserving child’s health and development. The most controversial topic is protein and carbohydrates consumption, which is significantly changing with the introduction of complementary feeding, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. The results of foreign and domestic studies on the analysis of actual nutrition of children over 6 month old as well as new practical recommendations for introducing complementary feeding are presented. It was found that the actual protein amounts in the recommended diets for children older than 6 months of age in the USA and EU countries significantly exceeds the consumption standards established abroad (FAO / WHO; EFSA, 2017), but is close to the recommended level of protein consumption in domestic practice. Article also reviews the importance of fruit juices in the nutrition of children in the first year of life and gives the rationale for changing tactics of introducing complementary feeding in the pediatric practice in Russia.
