It is essential for a newborn baby to be fed only with breast milk for the first 6 months, and for the healthy formation of intestinal flora, and for the formation of a strong foundation not only in terms of nutrition but also with many protection factors that breast milk contains.
Studies have actually agreed that complementary foods should not be started before the 17th week and should not be left beyond the 26th week. However, this is not true for every baby; It should not be forgotten that a premature baby comes back, and it should be known that care should be taken if he is also fed with formula.
There are some markers that actually show us that the infant is ready for solid food. What are these?
1) If your baby is fed only with breast milk and defecates in sufficient quantity and consistency every day,
2) If the weight gain is at least 500gr to 1000gr per month
3) If the supporter can sit with you at meals
4) If he constantly opens his mouth and waits while you eat
5) If he brings his hand to his mouth
Your baby says I'm ready for solid food.....
