i need to talk about how to feed a baby and when to switch them to solid food. also what foods should you give them to help them with nutrition and also if someone could tell me how many babies suffer from malnutrition in the U.S. that would be nice
 
I will give you a few pointers on where to start.

Breastfeeding is the optimal nutrition for infants birth thru full term weaning (the human nursling will wean between 2-7years age outside of cultural or bottle influence)......with exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months.

Second best is mother pumping her breast milk and feeding via bottle or other method

Third best is accepting donated breastmilk

Fourth best is to provide an infant formula

look up:

kellymom.com
askdrsears.com
drjacknewman.com
kathydettwyler.org/detwean

The World Health Organization reccomendations on infant nutrition

You can also go speak with a nutritionist and breastfeeding peer counselor at your local county/Women Infant Children office

You could seek out a lactation consultant at a local hospital to speak with

hope this points you in the right direction
