It is very important to understand that babies need only breast milk or formula until 6 months of age. No solids should be introduced prior to this age. When it is time to introduce solids, do it slowly. Solid food meals will not replace breast milk sessions but complement them. Below you'll find a recommended daily planning guide based on your baby's age. We recommend that you print the guide below and consult your doctor.
