Complementary Feeding
Captions available
The idea
Complementary feeding, adding solid foods alongside milk, usually begins around six months, when an infant can sit up and hold the head steady.
In practice
Newborns feeding every one to three hours, and many nine- to twelve-month-olds eating three meals a day.
Where people slip
Responsive feeding, following an infant's hunger and fullness cues, is linked to building trust between infant and caregiver.
