Keeping Food Safe For Your Child
Food prepared for babies and young children should be served fresh at all times. If you need to store food for serving at the next meal, make sure that you keep it cool (near or below 10ºC in the refrigerator) or hot (near or above 60ºC). It should then be reheated thoroughly before serving.
Is Your Baby Ready for Solid Food ?
As your baby grows, they become more active and start to use a lot more energy. Pushing their chest away from floor, rolling over or practising sitting up, all gives them bigger appetite which means it'll soon be time to more onto more them milk. The process of switching a baby from a milk-only diet to a mixed one that includes other solid food is called complementary feeding or weaning. Parents are recommended to introduce a good balance of solid food to their babies after they complete 6 months of age (i.e. 181 days).

Complementary feeding is quite simply the process of switching your baby from a milk-only diet to a one that include other solid food. Parents are recommended to introduce a good balance of solid food after they complete 6 months of age (i.e. 181 days). It's an exciting part of your baby's development and an essential one. Milk will continue to supply many of the nutrients your baby needs for some time, but as your baby becomes more active, solid foods will become an increasingly important part of their healthy, balanced diet.
