POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Solid foods can typically be introduced to a baby around 6 months of age. At this stage, most babies are developmentally ready to start solids, as they can:
1. **Sit Up:** Sit with support or on their own with good head and neck control.
2. **Show Interest:** Show interest in food and can grasp and hold objects.
3. **Tongue Thrust Reflex:** Have diminished tongue thrust reflex, which helps with moving food to the back of the mouth.
Starting solids too early (before 4 months) can increase the risk of allergies and digestive issues, while waiting too long (beyond 6 months) can lead to potential nutrient deficiencies. Always introduce new foods one at a time and monitor for any signs of allergies or intolerances.
If you have any concerns or specific questions about your baby's readiness for solids, it's best to consult your pediatrician.
