For the first six months of life, all your baby needs is breast milk. Breast milk provides all the nutrients your baby needs, protects against infection, is easily digested and changes to suit the needs of your baby. No other milks, food or drinks are needed.
Continue to give your baby breast milk for the first 12 months or for as long as you and your baby desire.
If you stop breastfeeding before your baby is 12 months old, an infant formula should be used until 12 months. See page 37 for information on safe bottle feeding.
Support
If you need support or more information about breastfeeding talk to your Child and Family Health Nurse, Lactation Consultant or contact the Australian Breastfeeding Association. See page 42 for website details.
WHEN WILL MY BABY BE
READY FOR SOLID FOODS?
Most babies are ready for solid foods around six months of age. Around this time babies need more nutrients than they receive from breast milk or infant formula alone, especially iron.
Signs that your baby is ready to start solids include:
Being able to sit up well with support
Being able to hold their head up
Showing an interest in food such as watching you eat and trying to reach for food when you are eating
Being hungrier and not settling well after a full feed.
Tips
– A number of attempts on different occasions may be needed before a new food is eaten. Don’t give up on the first go, keep on trying and keep it fun!
– Continue breastfeeding (or feeding your baby infant formula) while introducing solid foods until your baby is 12 months old.
– It is common for babies to gag, with coughing or spluttering, while they are learning to eat. This is different to choking and is not a cause for concern. However, choking that prevents breathing is a medical emergency, so never leave your baby unattended while they are eating.
