प्रश्न
Explain complementary feeding.
थोडक्यात उत्तर
उत्तर
- As the infant grows, his nutrient requirement grows too. He slowly has to be weaned off breast milk and get used to supplementary or complementary food.
- Complementary feeding should start when the child is 4-6 months old, as breast milk alone cannot meet the increasing nutritional needs of the growing baby. But breast feeding must continue up to about 11/2 years of age.
