Скачать или смотреть Breast Milk Nutrition After 6 Months Explained | When & Why to Start Complementary Foods

After the first six months, the nutritional composition of breast milk does not change. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months and continue breastfeeding up to at least 24 months of age or longer.

As babies grow, their energy and nutrient needs increase with age. While breast milk remains an essential source of nutrition, it may no longer meet all of a child’s energy requirements on its own after 6 months.

At this stage, introducing appropriate complementary foods alongside continued breastfeeding helps ensure that babies receive sufficient nutrients to support healthy growth and development. Breast milk continues to provide immune protection, emotional bonding, and valuable nutrients well beyond infancy.
