A. At 2 months old, it's generally recommended to exclusively breastfeed or formula-feed your baby. Solid foods should typically be introduced around 6 months of age, as this is when your baby’s digestive system is usually ready to handle solids. Here’s why solids are typically introduced around 6 months: 1. Developmental Readiness At 6 months, babies have better head and neck control, and they can sit with support, which is important for eating solids. 2. Nutritional Needs Before 6 months, babies get all the nutrition they need from breast milk or formula. Introducing solids too early can lead to digestive issues, and they may not get the right balance of nutrients. 3. Safety Concerns Babies at 2 months may not yet have the reflexes to handle solid food properly, and it could be a choking hazard. What You Can Do Now: Breast milk or formula: Continue giving breast milk or formula, which provides essential nutrients at this stage. Consult your pediatrician: If you feel your baby is ready for solids earlier than the typical 6-month mark, it's always a good idea to check with your pediatrician. In summary, it's best to wait until your baby is around 6 months old to start introducing solid foods.
