QUESTION
I have twins and they drink breast milk on demand in a bottle. They have recommended that I give them only four meals a day, one of them vegetables and the other fruit because I already give them cereals in the bottle. I think it is little milk, what should I do?
ANSWER
Milk before fruits or vegetables
Complementary feeding should be introduced at the right time, which means that all children should start receiving other foods, in addition to breast milk, from the age of six months. This diet must be sufficient, which means that the food must have an adequate consistency and variety, administered in appropriate amounts and with a frequency that allows the nutritional needs of the child to be met, but without abandoning breastfeeding.
The World Health Organization recommends that infants start receiving complementary foods at six months, first about two or three times a day between six and eight months, and then between nine to 11 months and 12 to 24 months, three or four times a day, adding nutritious snacks once or twice a day.
