Introducing Your Baby to Family Foods


Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for babies until they are six months old. With appropriate introduction of solid foods at six months, breastfeeding can continue to two years and beyond.

For more information on introducing family foods to your baby, contact your local public health office.
