1) Gradually adapt the baby to new foods. At the beginning, start by getting the child accustomed to flavors like soup, juice, etc., to pique their interest.

Juice can be mixed with water and fed directly, or mixed with (infant formula) to drink.

When introducing a new complementary food, do so gradually, starting with a small amount and gradually increasing it. Hasty introduction can easily lead to failure.

At 6 months, the child can start eating whole eggs. Do not introduce two or more new foods at the same time. First introduce a complementary food that the child has never eaten before. Once the child has adapted to it, introduce another new food.

(5) Frequently change the variety of foods. Varying the types of food, eating a "" (diverse) diet, both
