Parent questions
Before the next spoon
When can babies start complementary foods?
WHO guidance says complementary foods generally begin around 6 months, alongside breast milk or formula. Developmental readiness and individual health guidance matter.
How should I choose the texture?
Start with a texture your child can manage and progress from smooth to mashed, lumpy, and soft finger foods as skills develop. Sit your child upright and supervise every meal.
Should I add salt, sugar, or honey?
Babies do not need added salt or sugar. Honey should not be given before 12 months. Always check recipes and packaged-food labels.
What if my child has allergies or feeding concerns?
Check every ingredient and allergen statement. Speak with your paediatrician or a qualified feeding professional for allergy risk, growth concerns, swallowing difficulties, or medical conditions.
