Changes in a child in the first year of life are very rapid, and each month is not like another. The 6-month milestone is very important, it is largely evaluative and transitional. By this age, most babies have doubled their birth weight, are about 15 cm tall, and some babies have already erupted their teeth.
The age of 6 months is also transitional in terms of nutrition. Breast milk or an adapted formula is still the basis of the diet, but with the beginning of the second half of life, all children, without exception, should begin to receive complementary foods. Despite the general graph of growth and weight gain and indicators of psychomotor development, the status and diet of children at 6 months can be very different.
Content: Hide
- The first feeding of 6 months
- The start of complementary foods at 4-5 months
- The second half of the life
- for a week for a child at 6 months
The first feeding of
If the baby is healthy and breastfed, and his mother eats a full and varied diet, exclusive breastfeeding is possible until this age. Cereal complementary foods in this case are preferable to start. This is due to the high energy and nutritional value of cereals, the ability to significantly enrich the baby's diet with a delayed start of the introduction of complementary foods.
However, the rate of expansion of the child's diet in this situation will be accelerated. Before the 8th month of life, it is necessary to introduce all basic food groups into the baby’s menu, since in the second half of the year the need for additional intake of nutrients and micronutrients is very high. Another reason explaining the importance of the rapid introduction of complementary foods is the formation of immunity of the immune cells of the intestine to ordinary food. If a child is introduced to these foods at the age of 4-8 months, the risk of developing food allergies has been proven to be reduced.
Complementary feeding starts at 4-5 months
In today's life, the nutrition of a nursing mother, unfortunately, is not always complete. Therefore, for most breastfed babies, complementary foods already need to be introduced from 5 months in order to prevent deficient conditions.
If a child is bottle-fed, then by the 4th month of life, the baby will not have enough adapted formula alone, and in this group of children, the timing of the introduction of complementary foods usually shifts a month earlier than in breast-fed babies.
Accordingly, by 6 months, children will have vegetable puree and gluten-free porridge (buckwheat, corn and rice) in their diet. In the first half of life, monocomponent meals are used (that is, from one type of grain and vegetables), prepared on the basis of water, breast milk or an adapted mixture.
Fruit puree and juice can be another possible complementary food for children under 6 months of age without allergy symptoms. In a child with a risk of developing or manifesting allergies, the timing of the introduction of fruit complementary foods is shifted to the 8th month.
Second six months of life
Children over 6 months of age can supplement their diet with cereals containing gluten. First of all, these are oatmeal and wheat porridge, and then multi-cereal dishes with the addition of other cereals (millet, barley, rye). If the child does not have any manifestations of allergies, milk porridge can be included in the menu at this age. Bebi Premium industrial baby food products include specially prepared milk that is safe to use in healthy babies in the first year of life.
From the age of 6 months, the baby's diet is expanded with such important products as meat and cottage cheese. These products are a source of high-quality protein, fats, and are also rich in minerals such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus. Pediatricians and nutritionists recommend introducing meat and cottage cheese as part of combined dishes based on a fruit and vegetable and / or grain component in a ratio of 1 (cottage cheese / meat): 4–5 (fruits / vegetables / cereals).
To enrich the diet with polyunsaturated fatty acids in the second half of the year, the menu includes vegetable oil in the amount of 3–5 grams per day, which can be added to the complementary food dish. The volume of each feeding is approximately 150-170 ml, and the child can already stand up to 3.5 hours between meals.
In the table below, we offer a menu of 6 months for a week for a child who started receiving complementary foods at the age of 4-5 months, and by the time the second half of life begins, dairy-free gluten-free cereals, vegetable and fruit purees have already been introduced into his diet.

To Sri Lanka with children
- Blog about life in Sri Lanka
You have small children and you want to go on vacation to Sri Lanka. But you don't know a lot of important things for sure. For example, what to feed a child, whether vaccinations are needed, whether there are dangerous animals there, whether it is possible to get poisoned, how to move around the island, what things to take with you. how is the situation with medicine and so on.
So I want to help you a little. So:
- Vaccinations. Additional vaccinations are not required if you are going to Sri Lanka
- Dangerous living creatures. If you are relaxing in the resort area, then it is absolutely safe here. No snakes, crocodiles, etc.
- Baby food. In pharmacies and large supermarkets, you can buy milk formulas of famous brands Nan, Nutrilon, etc., as well as locally produced formulas
- Food.
It is better to book accommodation with a kitchen to cook for the child. Products can be bought in supermarkets, on the market and in shops. I cannot say that it is 100% safe to eat in cafes and restaurants. As with any resort, there is a chance of poisoning. - Water. We drink filtered water. For guests, we have the same filter that we use for ourselves. Many locals drink straight from the tap. All are alive and well. That is, the water itself is not bad here. But if in doubt, you can buy bottled water for your child
- Medicine. There are public hospitals in every town. We still recommend that you contact private clinics. There are good doctors, clean and there are no crowds of people.
- How to get around. You can rent a tuk-tuk or a car with a driver. You can use public transport. But with small children and prams this is problematic
- Things. You don't have to take a lot of clothes. It sells beautiful and inexpensive relatively children's clothes and shoes.
Supermarkets sell different brands of diapers and other products for children - First aid kit. Take what you need. There are many analogues here, but you need to know their names. Otherwise, it is problematic to explain what you need.
Our guesthouse in Hikkaduwa has all the conditions for families with children. Ideal for a family room with two adjoining rooms and a private bathroom. Also at your disposal is a mini kitchen, where there is a blender, toaster, kettle, multicooker and all necessary utensils
