5.02 Food Progression for Infants
Breastmilk is the perfect food for infants for the first few months of its life.
Usually up
until the age of 4 months an infant gets all it needs from its mother’s milk.
After about
four months the infant will start transitioning into solid food.
This is done first by intro-
ducing fortified dry infant cereal.
Rice is usually an easy way to start.
You use breast-
milk or formula with the dry cereal.
At first make it running, but as the baby gets used to
it, you can thicken it up.
After about a week of cereal, you can introduce a mild flavored
vegetable.
