A mother asks when to begin complementary foods for her healthy breastfed infant. Which advice is correct?
Correct answer: B. Begin suitable complementary foods at about six months while continuing breastfeeding
- A. Begin thin cereal at two months of age
- B. Begin suitable complementary foods at about six months while continuing breastfeeding
- C. Stop breastfeeding when mashed foods are introduced
- D. Delay all complementary foods until the child is one year old
Explanation
Complementary foods are introduced at about six months because breast milk alone no longer meets all nutritional needs. Breastfeeding should continue alongside a varied, age-appropriate diet.
