Breastfeeding Completion Chart
The introduction of complementary foods with breastfeeding simple enough. Some “modern” pediatricians advise the introduction of complementary foods from almost the 3rd month of a child’s life. This is useless; up to 6 months the baby gets all the substances he needs from breast milk. So does the reputable doctor E. Komarovsky. Early baby feeding tips can only be advised by baby-food manufacturers and people interested in increasing sales.
From 6 months you can begin to introduce complementary foods. Note the gradual increase in dose. - so the body can adapt to new food without stress.
Do not give the child a few products on the same day, since with a negative reaction of the body you will not understand what the baby responded to.

If milk is not enough
If there is enough milk, the mother should feed the baby no earlier than 6 months.
But what if there is not enough milk? The best solution is to feed up to 6 months with a good milk mixture, and then inject complementary foods according to the scheme presented above.
But if the finances for the purchase of mixes in the family are sorely lacking, you can begin to introduce supplements from 4 months.
