Starting Solid Foods: Big Milestone, Little Bites!
Is your baby around 6 months old and showing signs they're ready for solids? Here are a few tips to help make the transition smooth and safe:
-Start Simple – Begin with single-ingredient foods like puréed veggies, fruits, or baby cereal.
-Watch for Readiness – Good head control, sitting up with support, and showing interest in your food are all green lights!
-One at a Time – Introduce new foods one at a time and wait 3-5 days to watch for allergies.
-Breastmilk or Formula First – Solids are just a bonus at this stage; milk is still their main source of nutrition.
-Keep Mealtime Fun – Let baby explore the textures, even if it gets messy! It’s all part of learning.
