SEGi’s impactful nutrition demo: Nurturing healthy beginnings in Malaysia

SEGi took a proactive approach towards promoting optimal growth and development of babies and young children in Malaysia through a recent demonstration on proper complementary feeding. On Friday, 10 November 2023, SN and JM from KK Kelana Jaya conducted a demonstration on food for 6-month-old babies, with the participation of a student nurse from SEGi’s Diploma in Nursing Cohort 33. 

The demonstration emphasized crucial principles of nutrition, aligning with the recommended guidelines for infant feeding. Exclusive breastfeeding from birth until the child reaches six months of age was emphasised, followed by the introduction of complementary foods while continuing breastfeeding until the child turns two years old. The importance of providing sufficient food to meet energy needs and gradually adapting the texture and preparation of food according to the baby’s age and development were highlighted.
