Complementary Feeding
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Before introducing new foods to a baby, many families seek professional guidance: complementary feeding is precisely the stage in which foods other than milk are incorporated to accompany the growth of the infant.
What is it? It is the gradual process by which the baby begins to try solid and varied foods, adding them to breast milk or formula as they develop.
Aspects to look after: attention is paid to the signs that the baby is ready, to the variety and texture of the foods, and to gradual introduction in order to promote healthy habits.
Which specialist provides guidance? The dietitian and the clinical dietitian can support this process with recommendations suited to each baby. Raising your questions with these professionals helps to make informed decisions at this stage.
