Mlo wa kuongeza uzito: mtoto wa miezi 6

Katika hatua ya miezi 6, mtoto huanza kula vyakula vya nyongeza sambamba na maziwa ya mama. Hii ni hatua muhimu ya kuhakikisha ukuaji wa viungo, kinga ya mwili, na maendeleo ya akili vinaendelea vizuri. Endapo mtoto ana uzito mdogo, ni muhimu kumpa lishe yenye virutubisho vya kutosha kwa kutumia vyakula vya kawaida vinavyopatikana nyumbani, kama uji wa lishe, viazi, ndizi za kupika, na mboga laini.

Mpango wa mlo huu unalenga kuongeza uzito kwa mtoto mwenye uzito chini ya kiwango cha kawaida kwa umri wa miezi 6.
