Abstract :
Breast milk is the best and safest food for young babies. It is important that babies should be given extra food as well as breast milk at the right age in sufficient amounts to enable them to grow and stay healthy. Weaning is the process in which an infant’s diet pattern is gradually changed from liquid food like breast milk to solid foods which are supplementary food to the breast milk. These can be added after six months of infant’s life because breast milk alone cannot provide the required amount of nutrients and so cannot sustain the growth of the infant after this age. Hence most important aspect of weaning is the introduction of solid food. At about six months of age, while breast feeding is being continued, addition of other food is essential to prevent growth faltering. Delayed introduction of additional food in an exclusively breast fed infant in malnutrition. Improper introduction of foods is fraught with dangers of diarrhoea due to infection from unhygienic preparation. Malnutrition related to inadequate calorie intake due to low frequency of feeding and low calorie density of additional foods. Weaning should provide a pleasant experience, not a conflict for mothers and infants. Praise, loving attention, and cuddling are vital to successful weaning.
