Complementary feeding refers to the introduction of solid or semi-solid foods to an infant's diet alongside breast milk or formula. It usually begins around the age of 6 months, when breast milk or formula alone may no longer provide sufficient nutrients for the growing baby.
When introducing complementary foods, it's important to start with small amounts and gradually increase the quantity and variety of foods over time. It's also recommended to offer a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods like meat, fish, and legumes.
Dr. D. Srikanth, Sr. Consultant Pediatrician & Neonatologist, Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, talks about how and when to initiate complementary feeding in infants.
