Ask the Expert session: How to Balance Solid Foods with Milk Feedings?

By 6 months, we can start with semi-solid food then slowly progressing to solids - para masanay si baby sa new texture ng food and maging familiar din sa different tastes. Pwede po natin simulan ng cereals (iron-fortified infant cereals) which are commonly mixed with breast milk, formula, or water and later with fruits. And yes, recommended ang three meals a day and two healthy snacks.

Hello there :) By 6 months old po, need na po magstart ni baby ng complementary feeding ng semisolid foods. By this age kasi, an exclusively breastfed infant requires additional sources of several nutrients, tulad ng protein, iron, and zinc. General signs of readiness include the ability to hold the head up, maturity (around double the birth weight), opening their mouths wide, showing eager anticipation of eating food and interest in foods, sitting unassisted, bringing objects to the mouth, and the ability to track a spoon :)
