When can I start feeding complementary food?
Introducing complementary foods. The time when you should give your child complementary foods depends on your child's development. It is important that you monitor your child's development to find the right time. Babies are usually ready for complementary foods at the age of 5-6 months. However, some babies start later. A maturity chart can help you recognise the signs of maturity and find the right food for your baby. If you are unsure, ask your paediatrician.
