Question
How should a six-month-old baby be introduced to complementary foods, and which types of foods should be introduced?
Answer
When starting to introduce complementary foods to a baby, it’s important to follow the principle of adding one new food at a time. Initially, these foods may need to be mixed with soup or boiling water to form a paste-like consistency. As the baby grows, their food will gradually resemble the family meal, just requiring it to be cut into finer pieces or blended into a paste.
