Baby's First Foods
Introducing solid foods to your baby is an exciting milestone, but it can also be a bit intimidating. In this article, we'll discuss when to start solids, what foods to offer, and how to create a positive eating experience for your little one.
When to Introduce Solids
Most experts recommend introducing solids around six months of age, but always consult with your pediatrician to determine the best time for your baby.
First Foods to Offer
- Single-grain cereals
- Pureed fruits and vegetables
- Mashed avocado or banana
- Soft, cooked meat
Creating a Positive Eating Experience
- Start with small amounts
- Offer a variety of textures and flavors
- Be patient and let your baby set the pace
- Make mealtime a fun and social experience
Remember, introducing solids is a gradual process. Your baby will still rely on breastmilk or formula for the majority of their nutrition as they explore new tastes and textures.
