When is my baby ready for solids?

Not too long ago, recommendations were to feed rice cereal to their babies as early as a few weeks for a better night sleep.

That’s a NOPE for me 😅

The World Health Organization (WHO) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends exclusive breastfeeding until the baby is 6 months old. “Introducing babies to complementary foods too early can cause them to miss out on important nutrients that come from breastmilk and infant formula.” Explains Chloe. M. Barrera, MPH, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

If anything but breastmilk is introduced, even formula, it can permanently alter baby’s gut microbiota, causing problems like necrotizing enterocolitis, diarrheal disease, and allergies.

Exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months at a minimum is linked to an improved immune system, allergy prevention, and higher IQ.

The WHO recommends that, in addition to breastmilk, after 6 months the baby eats:

* 6-8 months- solids 2-3 times a day
* 9-11 months- 3-4 times a day
* 12-24 months- 3-4 times a day with an additional snack 1-2 times a day
