The complementary feeding age marks the beginning of an exciting phase for both parents and children. The child's interest in food increases and the different foods introduce the child to new flavours. The consistency of the meals is also a new and interesting experience for the baby.

The following documents serve as support and good guidance for the selection of complementary foods for babies in the first year of life. Here we provide information on what to look out for when buying complementary foods if you are not preparing them yourself or if you want to ensure a balanced diet for your child when travelling.

In addition to brief information from the Austrian complementary food recommendations "Baby's first spoonful", our "Information on complementary food products" provides further tips, advice and detailed information worth knowing about the correct selection and use of complementary foods for babies.
