AB Every  infant  or  child  has  a  genetic  potential  for  physical,  mental,  and  emotional  growth.  Providing  nutrition  that  fulfills  all  aspects  of  that  growth  potential  represents  optimal  nutrition.  When  nutrition  either  limits  growth  or  results  in  excessive  body  mass,  because  of  either  inadequate  quality  or  inappropriate  quantity,  an  individual  is  suffering  from  malnutrition  (ie,  undernutrition  or  obesity).
