The complementary food period usually starts when the baby is 6 months old. Initially, single-ingredient, smooth foods are started — steamed and pureed squash, potatoes, carrots, apples, or pears. Each new food is tried on its own and 2-3 days apart, so any allergic reaction is easily linked to which food. Complementary food before 6 months is not recommended; breast milk or formula remains the primary nutrition during this supplementary feeding stage. No salt, sugar, or honey is added; honey before 12 months carries risk. The baby adapts to each new flavor at their own pace; refusing it at first is normal — it can be offered again at different times without insisting.
