Feeding babies and toddlers provides necessary nutrients for growth while also establishing lifelong eating habits and a healthy relationship with food. Parents must make important decisions around breastfeeding or formula, introducing solid foods, the types of foods exposed, and the experience around mealtimes. Early eye exams are also important for developing vision skills needed for learning like near and distance vision, eye coordination, focusing, peripheral awareness, and hand-eye coordination. Explaining medical procedures to patients involves informing them what will be done, including gently examining or touching parts of the body, and checking things like blood pressure, pulse, and respiration.
