At around 6 months of age, what does the term 'complementary feeding' refer to?

  1. Feeding only breast milk and no other foods indefinitely
  2. Adding solid, semi-solid, or soft foods alongside milk feeds
  3. Switching wholly to solid foods and stopping all milk
  4. Giving only water plus formula and delaying solids to 9 months
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Adding solid, semi-solid, or soft foods alongside milk feeds

Complementary feeding begins when breast milk or formula alone is no longer sufficient, so solid/soft foods are introduced alongside continued milk feeds.
