When should you start weaning

Weaning special
When should you start weaning or complementary feeding.

Early weaning before 4 months can cause allergies and Parents who delay weaning their babies i.e post 8 months or so may find that their children grow up to be more fussy eaters, new research indicates.

After six months introduce new foods to your baby every few days.
At six months start with 2 meals a day, with regular breastfeeding. Increase to 5 small meals (including fruits,snacks) a day, with continued breastfeeding by 10 months. Continue with these regular meals and breastfeeding until your baby is two years old. Wash your hands with soap and water before feeding your baby. Prepare fresh food for your baby, no leftovers. Keep everything clean when preparing food for your baby.
