11. What is weaning food:What is weaning food:
 Complementary foods are foods other than
breast milk or infant formula (liquids, semisolids,
and solids) introduced to an infant to provide
nutrients.
Recommendations on the introduction
of complementary foods provided to caregivers of
infants should take into account:
 The infant’s developmental stage and
 nutritional status;
 Coexisting medical conditions;
 Social factors;
 Cultural, ethnic, and religious food
 preferences of the family;
 Financial considerations; and
 Other pertinent factors discovered through
the nutrition assessment process.

12. Best time for weaning food:Best time for weaning food: Pediatric nutrition authorities agree that
complementary foods should not be introduced
to infants before they are developmentally ready
for them; this readiness occurs in most infants
between 4 and 6 months of age.
Similarly, very few
studies show significant benefit for delaying
complementary foods until 6 months.”1 The
timing of introduction of complementary foods
for an individual infant may differ from this
recommendation. There is some disagreement
among authorities on the need for additional
sources of nutrients besides breast milk in the
first 6 months. However, there is agreement that
infants need a good dietary source of iron and
zinc by about 6 months of age, which cannot be
met by breast milk alone.

13. From 4 to 6 months of age, the following
developmental changes occur that allow the infant
to tolerate complementary foods:
 The infant’s ability to digest and absorb
proteins, fats, and carbohydrates,
 other than those in breast milk and
formula, increases rapidly.
 The infant’s kidneys develop the ability to
excrete the waste products from foods with
a high renal solute load, such as meat.
 The infant develops the neuromuscular
mechanisms needed for recognizing and
 accepting a spoon, masticating, swallowing
 nonliquid foods, and appreciating
 variation in the taste and color of foods.

18. Importance of Gradually Introducing
Each New Food:
 Introduce new foods one at a time.
 Introduce “single-ingredient” foods initially to
determine the infant’s acceptance to each food
(e.g., try plain rice cereal before rice cereal
mixed with fruit).
 Allow at least 7 days between the introduction
of each new “single-ingredient” food.
 Introduce a small amount (e.g., about 1 to 2
teaspoons) of a new food at first.
 Observe the infant closely for adverse
reactions such as rash, wheezing, or diarrhea
after feeding a new food.
