How long should I exclusively breastfeed baby a year or only 6 months
Jan 21, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
The recommendation is to exclusively breast feed till the age of 6 months, but you can still start to introduce solid food as of the age of 5 months since the process takes time (for the baby to adapt and cooperate) so that by the time your baby is 6 months of age you can go at a faster pace in terms of more solid food introduction.
