The process of introducing the baby to solid foods is called weaning. It is usually started at about six months when the baby begins to require other supplements like iron and zinc, which are not available in milk. Before this, the babies are wholly dependent on breast milk or formula milk. Weaning does not necessarily mean withdrawing milk. It suggests the introduction of solid foods along with breast milk or formula milk.
