Food
Square The
perfect weaning food for your baby should consist of a combination of staple foods,
protein supplements, fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals and sugar,
fats and oils in moderation. |
| |
|
The
Food Square below will help you to understand the basic food groups and their
combinations that form a balanced diet that is the basis of supplementary feeding. All
the components of the Food Square are important for the nourishment of your baby.
However, it is not necessary to provide for all these either in the same meal
or at the same time. Introduce your baby to these foods gradually, letting her
adjust to their taste from the fifth month onwards. |
