Complementary feeding - Foods

Complementary foods should be rich in energy, protein and nutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C and folate. It should not contain bones or hard bits that may choke the baby and no spices such as pepper or too much salt. The food should be easy for the baby to eat and check to make sure it's not too hot for your baby. Look for something locally available and ensure good hygiene when preparing your baby's food.
