Why Complementary Feeding Matters
Complementary feeding is a crucial milestone in your baby’s growth and development. Around 6 months of age, breastmilk alone is no longer enough to meet all the nutritional needs of a growing infant. This is when introducing solid foods—alongside continued breastfeeding—becomes essential.
Timely and appropriate complementary feeding:
- ✅ Supports healthy growth and brain development
- ✅ Helps build strong immunity
- ✅ Reduces the risk of nutrient deficiencies
- ✅ Encourages healthy eating habits early in life
As a pediatrician, I guide parents through this journey with practical, evidence-based advice—ensuring your baby gets the right nutrition at the right time.
