Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. it is advisable to start complementary feeding for the child only after completion of 6 months of age and before that it may cause digestion problem
In COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING start with two rules
Rule number 1 is that you have to give the food in the form which the child can swallow
Rule number 2 is that always give a new food for for 5 to 6 days to see whether the child is able to digest that food or not as well as it will help in creating the taste in the child.
