Weaning is the process of gradually introducing solid food to your little one after 6 months.
You need to start with rice based cereals and try to give it before or after your routine milk feeds.
You may also start with vegetable purees as an add on.
After 6 months the reliance on milk is reduced and giving more milk will hinder hunger for solids.
You may continue to give follow on milk after 6 months, but your priority should be to start giving your baby a balanced semi solid food.
Next Steps
visit your pediatrician for a full chart of what is allowed during this time.
refrain from giving cow's milk.
Health Tips
you may continue with breast feeds or top up formula feeds. Introduce solids in boiled mashed form ( veggies, rice based cereals and fruit purees).
