👉 Infant fluid, also known as neonatal or breast milk, is the liquid that nourishes newborns and is crucial for their growth and development. It is rich in essential nutrients, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, tailored to meet the high energy demands of infants. Breast milk, in particular, is uniquely adapted to support the immune system and overall health of infants, providing antibodies that protect against infections. The composition of infant fluid changes over time to match the evolving nutritional needs of the growing baby, starting with colostrum in early infancy and transitioning to mature breast milk or formula as the infant matures.
