Introducing Solids

When your baby reaches 6 months old, milk alone no longer gives them all the required nutrients they require. Milk is still the most important, but you will need to start introducing solid food to complement it. When it comes to introducing solid food to a baby there are many aspects to think about, such as:

• How do you know when?
• How do I do it safely?
• How much do I give?
• What do I give first?
• Why do I need to start?

Many different people and even organisations will give you differing advice and differing techniques. It can be very overwhelming;
This course is designed to prepare parents to introduce solid food to complement milk feeds from the age of 6 months, as recommended by World health organisation.
