How i can feed my baby she is 6 months now? what would be her first meal and in which amounts i should feed her at once?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Feeding @ age 6 mths: At 6 months she could still breastfeed for another 6 months if you so desire but breast milk and formular are no longer adequate for her nutrition. You could start by replacing one of her milk feeds with rice cereal and then gradually increase the frequency of cereal feeds as tolerated. You may also gradually add a variety of cereals, pureed fruits and vegetables.
