As the baby grows, breast milk alone is not enough to meet the baby’s nutrition requirements. It requires a lot more energy so that it can reach milestones like crawling, sitting, standing and walking on time. Only solid food from outside can provide the necessary additional requirements. From the age of 6 months, babies should be given semisolids made from a variety of foods, which are available locally, in every home. This book explains when to start giving solid foods, what to give, how much and how often. It also talks about learning to encourage children to eat solid food, food hygiene, and feeding children during and after illness. |
