Better Health Start for Life Introducing Solid Foods

Posted on:

This campaign promotes waiting until your baby is around six months to introduce solid alongside breast milk or infant formula foods. At this stage, they need solid foods as well as- not as a replacement for- their usual breast milk or first infant formula (which is why its known as complementary feeding). Weaning teaches your baby how to move solid food around their mouth, chew and swallow solid foods.
