Q.

#asktheexperts when should I start solids and is it good to start with puree or directly go for steam-cooked veggies

1 Answer

Sonam PrasadMom of 2 children2 years ago

A. hi dear Doctors recommend waiting until a baby is about 6 months old to start solid foods. Starting before 4 months is not recommended. At about 6 months, babies need the added nutrition — such as iron and zinc — that solid foods provide. It's also the right time to introduce your infant to new tastes and textures.
