Complementary foods for 6 months - Babies who are 6 months old are generally considered to be able to consume complementary foods for breast milk (MPASI). This is because the reflexes of the baby become more organized when compared to the early months of his birth. Therefore, at the age of 6 months, the baby will be given 6 months of solids.

In addition, at this age, babies can support their heads well, have good tongue reflexes, and can sit up straight. With the good reflex ability to move the tongue, it can prevent the entry of foreign or dangerous objects into the baby's mouth. Not only that, at the age of 6 months, the baby is also able to close his mouth when offered a spoon and is also able to move food from front to back of the mouth, of course with the help of the tongue.

The baby's digestive tract is also growing, so even though they still need breast milk as a source of calories, the baby will need additional nutrients that breast milk doesn't have. With the additional nutrients, it can complement the process of growth and development.

Well, now is the right time for parents to start a 6-month MPASI schedule. But before starting, you have to make sure the special eating equipment for your little one is clean before it enters his mouth
