“…The infant born at term of a healthy, wellfed mother will maintain a good hemoglobin level at least up to six months of age. If the infant receives some iron-containing foods daily after the fourth month of life, probably no other supplements will be necessary [30]. An infant receiving only the iron in milk will show a slow decrease in hemoglobin level during the second half of infancy, and if the infant's original iron store is poor, iron-deficiency anemia will occur in late infancy.…”

Although breastmilk is adequate to meet the energy and nutrient requirements of an infant up to four to six months of age, thereafter it is insufficient to sustain normal growth and needs to be supplemented with other foods, such as weaning foods. However, the capacity of a weaning diet to meet the protein and energy requirements of infants depends on its nutritional quality as well as its dietary bulk. This review highlights varieties of weaning foods, blend formulations, nutrient requirements, process characteristics, physicochemical parameters, quality evaluation, and other important aspects of developing a weaning food that satisfies all the requirements of the infant during the vulnerable transitional stage. Traditional weaning foods of India are briefly summarized.
