Start with a few teaspoons of solids and gradually increase the amount. credit: www.mamashealth.comDear Doctor,My baby is 6 months old and has been exclusively breastfed but now I want to start solids. Confused mum, Shah AlamAnswerWhen breast milk is no longer enough to meet the nutritional needs of the infant, complementary foods should be added to the diet of the child. You can start off by giving your baby a variety of energy-rich foods such as cereals (porridge rice, bread) and tubers (potato, sweet potato, yam). If, at first, your baby is not too keen to try new foods, try adding breast milk to his foods to help him get used to the taste.
