During complementary feeding, a baby should still be on Breastmilk or an Infant formula (prescribed by a healthcare professional when there is a need) suited for his/her age in addition to semi-solids. A lot of babies of this age will be eating 3 times per day including a grain, fruit, veggie and a meat or protein source such as eggs. Ensure to pay close attention to your baby’s cues and only feed the amount your baby wants. Don’t force feed the child.
