Around six months of age, baby’s evolving needs call for the introduction of foods
Around six months of age, baby’s evolving needs call for the introduction of foods
Around 6 months of age, breast milk is insufficient to meet the requirements of some nutrients, particularly energy, protein, iron and zinc.
Offering iron-containing foods first such as iron-fortified infant cereals, puréed meats, poultry and fish is recommended. Fruits, vegetables and dairy products can then be added to the diet to help build healthy eating patterns as your baby grows.
Breastfeeding is a learned process—by mom and baby—and you may face some challenges in the first few months of breastfeeding. The most important advice is to seek help as soon as you sense a problem and find a good support network early on.
Eating well now can have a positive impact on your pregnancy, as well as a lasting effect on your baby’s health.
