Baby Feeding Basics | From Breastfeeding to Solids

Hello Supermom,

Big congratulations to you on bringing your bundle of joy into this world. There is nothing more soul satisfying than to hold your baby in your hands and to provide the best of care for your precious.

Moms, feeding time is the best bonding time.

So, let’s dive right into it.

First up, let's talk positions! For breastfeeding or bottle feeding, keep your baby’s head slightly elevated. This helps with digestion and prevents discomfort & milk reflux. Letting your baby lie flat while feeding is straight no no.

When your baby is around six months, it’s time to introduce solids. Go for traditional weaning foods like rice porridge, mashed fruits, and khichdi that are gentle on tiny tummies and packed with nutrients.

Speaking of nutrition, slowly introduce lentils, eggs and yoghurt into your kid’s diet but watch for common allergies like milk, eggs, and peanuts.

Feeding your baby is a journey filled with love and learning. Enjoy every moment of it.
