complementary feeding

Nothing except breast milk should be offered to an infant before age of six months unless advised by a doctor. We discourage mother's milk rarely for example in HIV MOTHER.

AFTER COMPLETING SIX MONTHS

FEEDJNG PHASE IS DIVIDED INTO ३ STAGES

FIRST STAGE 7 AND 8 months

Thick liquid stage

Thick porridge

Thick soups

Thick kheers of rice flour

Thickness not watery so thick Kabhi.

Thickness can be similar to the consistency of liquid made to make pappads.

For example: rice flour porridge with added pinch of salt sugar and ghee

always start with drops to taste. Taste Urselves if u like it then only try on kid.

Increase the tasting for a day and then start with spoon of feed three to four times a day. Increase one spoon gradually per feed so that at the end of two weeks child may take two to three bowls of same feed a day.

Do not hurry to start many items at the same time. Let the child get used to one item and after 15 days try new item.

It's important that children should be fed in upright or sitting posture.

Avoid bottle and animal milk.

By the end of eight months child should be taking at least two varieties of such feeds upto six times a day.
