'Generally what we advise is exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months for all the babies. Once the babies approach an age of approximately 5 and a half months and because  many of the mothers  nowadays are  working and they need to resume their jobs. Generally  we start with a  little bit of  homemade  food at this  age, that is 5  and  half  months.  We tell the parents that the introduction of food  is to be done gradually that the  baby tolerates and we give  them a  weaning diet  chart  which the need to follow. So  I  would say that at the age  of  5  and  a half is good  enough. In  some special  situations we do start a little more earlier which is  around  5 months. But definitely before that we prefer to give complete exclusive breast feeding.'
