Question

Your six month old baby has doubled his birth weight, is grasping objects and pulling them to his mouth, and seems hungry all the time despite the eight full bottles he drinks each day. do you start solids yet

Answer 1

Supplementary breast milk is given to babies after babies 6 months of age and over with a gradual texture starting from fine, filtered porridge, pureed porridge, then solid food such as adult food. Complementary food for breast milk is better if it contains 4 stars namely carbohydrates, vegetable protein, animal protein, and vegetables.

Further Explanation

When a baby enters the age of 6 months, he needs more calories than just the nutrition he gets through exclusive breastfeeding. At this age, you can introduce your baby's first solid food.

Feeding is not just filling the baby's stomach with nutritious food, but also provides education about pleasant interactions, stimulation of the sense of taste, fine motor training (moving hands and directing to the mouth that requires good coordination between hands, eyes, and of course, the brain), chewing and discipline.

Answer 2

I would say that the child is prepared for solid foods because it is capable of grasping things such as food. If the baby can gulp easily and sit up without adjustment solids are okay to switch the child on at this point. Also you can give a child solid food anywhere starting from 4-6 months old.
