A. Introducing semisolid foods to a baby can generally begin around 6 months of age, according to guidelines from organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). At this age, most babies have developed the necessary motor skills and digestive capacity to handle semisolid foods. However, some pediatricians might recommend starting slightly earlier, around 4-6 months, if the baby shows signs of readiness, such as: - Good head control - Sitting with minimal support - Showing interest in food (e.g., reaching for food, opening mouth when food is offered) - Doubling birth weight Before introducing semisolid foods to a 5-month-old baby, it's best to consult with your pediatrician to ensure that it's the right time for your baby and to get personalized recommendations.
