Describe how dietary recommendations differ from the Dietary Guidelines

Differs because guidelines are a set point and these are more like foods to add in.

characteristics of breast milk that make it the ideal food for infants

Immune factors: colostrum, reduced risk of infection Easily digest Energy nutrient balance: lipids Excels as source of nutrients (with exception of vitamin D) Reduces childhood obesity risk
