Hello
At 6 months old, your little one's half way through their first year and really kicking on (although not quite walking). By 1 year old, your child's weight will have reached to about triple their birth weight, and they'll be eating solid foods as well as drinking their milk to help support this growth. During this period your little one's first teeth will also appear, and your baby will start to understand simple commands like 'no'. They'll even start to indicate to you their preferences (this is likely to come out when weaning!). |

Weaning support
At around six months, your baby needs more than breast or formula milk to meet their nutritional needs. Weaning babies is a big milestone that comes with as many questions as it does excitement. So at SMA® Nutrition we’ve compiled a guide to the three stages of weaning that will help make it healthy and nutritious for your baby, and easier for you.
You can also contact the SMA Careline® for personalised advice and support during this time. |

What is the role of milk now I'm weaning?
Weaning is often referred to as 'complementary feeding', because foods should complement milk not replace it. Breast milk or formula is still an important source of nutrition as the nutrients in milk continue to support your baby's growing needs. |
