Baby Feeding at 6 Months in the DRC: Complete Guide and AFI Products 2026
Vitameal — halal weaning flour for 6-month-old babies in the DRC
Baby development at 6 months in the DRC
At 6 months, infants are generally ready for their first complementary food. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, WHO and the National Nutrition Program (PRONANUT) recommend exclusive breastfeeding until 6 full months, followed by gradual diversification.
Why start diversification at 6 months
Before 6 months, an infant’s digestive system isn’t yet ready to process complex carbohydrates, and breast milk alone covers all their needs. From 6 months, iron reserves deplete and energy needs rise: introducing a suitable weaning flour becomes necessary.
Vitameal Wheat: weaning flour to start at 6 months
AFI’s Vitameal Wheat is formulated for this first stage:
- Enriched with iron and vitamins A and D
- Wheat base, adjustable texture depending on dilution
- Halal IMANOR certified, ISO 22000 compliant
One to two servings a day are enough at the start of diversification, always alongside continued breastfeeding.
What to feed baby at 6 months in the DRC
- Vitameal Wheat weaning flour, diluted in milk or water
- Well-cooked local vegetable purées (sweet potato, squash)
- Continued breastfeeding, which remains the main food
How to introduce weaning flour
Start with a small diluted amount, always after breastfeeding. Progress gradually based on baby’s tolerance, watching digestion and stools after each new food.
