• Diarrhea
• Itchy skin
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Swelling of the airways to the lungs
• Anaphylaxis
If you notice any such reactions in your child, stop giving him this
food and offer him something else that you know is safe for him
or unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Keep track of your baby’s
reactions to different foods and consult your doctor for further
advice.
A few words of advice
Do not add sugar, honey, salt or spices to the grains, because
they are harmful to the baby at this stage.
Gradually increase the amount of food you give your baby, until
you are giving him 2-­‐3 spoons of grains every day.
Do not force your baby to eat any food he does not want; you can
try again later on.
Remember: breast milk is still your baby’s main source of
nutrition at this stage. Solid food is complementary to mother’s
milk and is not a replacement for it.
Things to pay attention to when giving your baby solid food
1. Give him only one type of food in the first five days, until you
are sure that your baby is not allergic to this food and that he
accepts this food.
2. Do not give the baby a large amount of food; give him small
amounts gradually.
3. Use fresh foods and avoid using canned or prepared foods.

4. Make sure that your baby is actually hungry, so that he will not
push the food out of his mouth.
5. Offer him new foods every four days or so.
6. Avoid foods that are not mashed or puréed at this stage. You
can give him foods with more texture in a few months’ time.
7. Put the spoon in the baby’s mouth in such a way that he can
take the food from the spoon.
8. Dispose of foods kept in the fridge after one day or longer.
9. It is advisable to use a small plastic spoon so that you will not
harm your baby’s teeth.
10. If your baby is in a bad mood, it is better to give him food he
likes and is used to, because he may refuse any new food that is
offered to him.
11. It is better for the baby to eat natural sugars that are found in
some fruits, dates and raisins and to avoid artificial sugars as
much as possible.
12. Wash your hands thoroughly and wash the utensils and bowls
you are going to use, so that the baby’s food will not become
contaminated.
13. Always encourage your baby when he is eating, by smiling
and playing with him.
