Despite the abundance of information, recommendations of pediatricians and WHO, for many parents the question of when to start complementary foods remains open. After all, qualified doctors say that up to six months the baby does not need anything, and grandmothers say that it is necessary to teach a child to adult food from a month old. No less relevant is the question of why it is necessary to begin acquaintance of the baby with ordinary food. But here even doctors and scientists cannot come to a consensus., , , – . , . , - . , , . .
Komarovsky recommends introducing the first complementary foods at the beginning of the day, gradually replacing them with the second feeding of the baby. Very little is given for the test: for the first time, it is enough to feed the child a couple of teaspoons. In the following days, the dose doubles until the baby begins to eat 100-150 grams of kefir in one feeding. Further complementary foods according to Komarovsky are introduced as follows: somewhere on the 5th day of kefir consumption, cottage cheese is added to it. Of course, all this is done, provided that the child does not have any rashes, digestive disorders, he is cheerful and healthy. By the age of 6-8 months, it is quite enough to gradually introduce 30 g of cottage cheese, by the 9th its quantity is brought to 50 g. If the child does not like such food, Komarovsky recommends slightly sweetening it.

It looks like complementary foods according to Komarovsky. The product introduction table recommended by most pediatricians is somewhat different from this scheme. So, many doctors believe that dairy products, and especially cottage cheese, are too heavy products for the children's stomach. Therefore, most still recommend to introduce vegetables or fruits. But here, too, there are pitfalls: after tasting sweet apples or bananas, the baby may refuse to eat fresh cauliflower, zucchini or potatoes.But at what age and with what products to begin to acquaint your baby with adult food, only the child's parents should decide, focusing on the recommendations of doctors and common sense.
