MOTHER: “WHEN EXACTLY AM I SUPPOSED TO GIVE MY CHILD WATER OR FOOD?” | NUTALK

After six months of exclusively breastfeeding your child with ONLY breast milk, there arises the need to complement it with family foods.

Breast milk sufficiently meets the nutrient requirements of a child for the first six (6) months of life but these requirements more than double after the sixth month. Hence, the need to adopt complementary feeding.

Complementary Feeding as the name suggest simply means complementing breast milk feeding with another kind of food (which is just family foods; really nothing extraordinary).

So the answer is; 
Give your child food/Water EXACTLY on his/her 6^th Month Birthday.

You can start out with liquid foods as you introduce him/her to family foods but REMEMBER TO CONTINUE BREASTFEEDING TILL HE/SHE IS 2 year old.
