A. around 6 months old When to start introducing solid foods. Introducing your baby to solid foods, sometimes called complementary feeding or weaning, should start when your baby is around 6 months old. At the beginning, how much your baby eats is less important than getting them used to the idea of eating. Others show less interest and start to self-wean before their first birthday (commonly between 9 and 12 months). The AAP recommends exclusive breastfeeding for about the first six months of your baby's life and then a mix of breast milk and solid food as long as mutually desired — for two years or even more.stay in a sitting position, holding their head steady.coordinate their eyes, hands and mouth so they can look at their food, pick it up and put it in their mouth.swallow food (rather than spit it back out)

A. Your child can begin eating solid foods at about 6 months old. By the time he or she is 7 or 8 months old, your child can eat a variety of foods from different food groups. These foods include infant cereals, meat or other proteins, fruits, vegetables, grains, yogurts and cheeses, and more.
