natural and have very good component which is need by baby, at least until 6
months we should give our baby breast milk. But, more age our baby reach than
more requirement of protein the baby need. This article can give guidance for

0-5 months
Breast milk or infant formula provide all the nutrients and energy a baby needs
at this age. The World Health Organization and the Department of Health both
recommend that "to achieve optimal growth, development and health, infants
should be exclusively breast fed for the first six months of life." Around
six months of age your baby will need other nutrients in his diet, especially
iron, but it is up to parents to decide precisely when it's best to start weaning.
5-9 months
Introduce some simple solid foods into baby's diet, such as rice or baby cereal,
mixed with breast or formula milk. After this, try some pureed fruits and vegetables
such as carrots, bananas and apples. Introduce one new food every few days to
allow the baby's system to adjust, and watch for any unusual reactions. Never
add salt, sugar, honey or other kinds of sweeteners to your baby's food.
9-12 months
Start offering your baby a wider range of foods to get him used to the different
consistencies, aromas and tastes of everyday family food. See if he likes bread,
pasta, oats or even couscous. Rather than purees, try offering mashed or minced
foods, deliberately including some lumps! Your baby can now digest fish, eggs
and some dairy products such as yogurt and cheese. Citrus fruits and finger
foods are also great for baby at this age.
