Earmarked paternity leave
The father’s quota in the parental insurance scheme seems to have a significant impact on whether fathers take parental leave from work. Examples from the Nordic countries.
It is usually said that at six months of age, breastfeeding or formula is no longer sufficient as a sole source of nutrition. This is the time to start supplementing milk with real food and let your baby try new flavors. Many people find that their child is willing to try but rarely gets a significant amount of food at first, and they may have to try lots of different foods and feeding methods before they get it right. It is usually not possible to have real food as an exclusive diet until the age of one, but many combine it with breastfeeding or formula well after the age of one.
Some foods need to be introduced to babies in small amounts to allow the body to get used to them. This applies, for example, to gluten and cow’s milk products. Common foods that are usually given to babies are fruits, vegetables and root vegetables – preferably cooked or otherwise in a consistency and form that a little one, often without teeth, can eat. The recommendation is to avoid salty foods and products with added sugar.
Talk to your nurse at the BVC or read for example on 1177.se for advice on feeding babies from the age of 6 months.
