At 6 months, you can start with the feeling
1.Infant cereal
Introduce one type of grain at a time. Start with rice; then try barley or oatmeal; then corn or maize, millet or sorghum porridge, wheat and mixed grain infant cereal.
2. Meat and Alternatives – Pureed or ground up , fish, poultry, meat alternatives (peas, lentils) and egg white
3. Vegetables and Fruit – A variety of grated or mashed vegetables and fruit.
4. Give at least 500ml of breast milk or formula daily. Avoid mixing milk in the main foods. If you need to dilute baby’s food add water or stock instead
