Letter to Haveeru
Dear Editor,
In the article the author mentions the age to start complementary foods (solids or weaning foods) to a child as 4-6 months. While I agree that some internet sources still mention 4 months, erroneously I must add, as an appropriate age to start complementary foods the current best practice advise is to initiate complementary foods at 6 months of age.
I would be very grateful if you could share this bit of information with the author of the article on complementary feeding that appeared on Haveeru Online. I would also appreciate it much if a correction could be published as well. This is requested to prevent spread of misinformation and to prevent inappropriate feeding practices.
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended from birth to 6 months of age. This is our national policy as well. It is the policy of WHO and UNICEF on infant feeding and nutrition.

I would like to thank Azhad for bringing this to my notice.
