What is Complementary Feeding - Introduction of First Foods about?

Breast milk is the basis of infant nutrition. Exclusive breastfeeding is generally recommended until at least 6 months of age. Complementary feeding is a proces in which breast milk or infant formulas are supplemented within other foods and their inclusion in the child's diet gradually leads to the transition to regular meals in the family. The complementary foods are introduced at the time when ONLY breast milk or infant formula is no longer sufficient, both from a nutritional and developmental point of view. Professional societies agree on the inclusion of the first foods for non-breastfed children not earlier than after the 17th week and not later than the 26th week. The proper introduction of first food has a long-term impact on children's health.
