Feeding your baby:
Breastfeed for as long as you can — breastmilk is still the best food for your baby.
Continue breastfeeding on demand. Breastfeed first, then offer food.
🥣 Give your baby soft, mashed foods like:
✅ Iron-rich foods – beans, eggs, chicken livers, mince, boneless fish
✅ Starches – fortified maize meal, mashed sweet potato or potato
✅ Cooked veggies – pumpkin, butternut, carrots
✅ Soft fruits – avocado, banana, paw-paw, cooked apple (no pips!)
💧 And give baby clean, safe water in a cup regularly after 6 months.

❤️
