POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. Introducing solid food to a five-month-old baby is generally considered acceptable, but it’s essential to ensure that your baby is developmentally ready. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends starting solids around six months, but some babies may show readiness signs a little earlier. Look for cues such as good head and neck control, the ability to sit with support, and showing interest in food.
When you start, choose single-grain cereals (like rice or oatmeal) mixed with breast milk or formula, pureed fruits and vegetables, or pureed meats. Introduce one new food at a time and wait a few days before trying another to monitor for any allergic reactions. Always consult your pediatrician before starting solids to get personalized advice and recommendations based on your baby's health and development.
