POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a baby entering the 6th month, breast milk or formula remains the primary source of nutrition. However, this is also the time when you can start introducing solid foods to complement milk.
### **Introducing Solid Foods:**
1. **Start with Single-Grain Cereals:** Begin with iron-fortified single-grain cereals mixed with breast milk or formula. Rice cereal is a common first choice.
2. **Introduce Pureed Vegetables and Fruits:** Gradually introduce pureed vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas, and fruits like apples, bananas, and pears.
3. **Offer Protein Sources:** You can start introducing pureed or finely mashed meats and legumes like lentils as the baby adjusts to solid foods.
4. **Observe for Allergies:** Introduce new foods one at a time and observe for any allergic reactions or digestive issues.
### **How Much Milk:**
- **Continue Breastfeeding or Formula Feeding:** Breast milk or formula should still be the primary source of nutrition, with solids complementing it. Aim for about 24-32 ounces of milk per day.
- **Balance:** Ensure that solid foods do not replace the necessary milk intake but are offered in addition to it.
### **Consult Your Pediatrician:**
- **Personalized Guidance:** Your pediatrician can provide specific recommendations based on your baby's health, growth, and readiness for solids. They can also help you with a feeding plan that ensures your baby receives balanced nutrition.
Introducing solids is an exciting milestone, and starting with the right foods can support your baby's development and health.
