Complementary Feeding After 6 Months
At 6 months, babies need more than breast milk alone. Start safe and nutritious complementary foods while continuing breastfeeding up to 2 years and beyond.
✔ Begin with soft mashed foods like fruits, vegetables, cereals, pulses, and eggs
✔ Feed 2–3 times a day at 6–8 months, then increase as the child grows
✔ Always keep food preparation clean and safe
✔ Be patient and encourage the child – never force feed
Breast milk + complementary feeding = Healthy growth and strong immunity
