POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. The general recommendation is to start introducing solid foods to babies around 6 months of age. Since your child is currently 5 months and 11 days old, you can begin preparing for this transition by discussing it with your pediatrician during your next visit. Starting solids too early can lead to digestive issues, while waiting too long may delay the development of important eating skills.
When you do start introducing solids, aim for single-grain cereals, pureed fruits and vegetables, and pureed meats, while continuing to breastfeed or formula-feed as the primary source of nutrition. It’s important to introduce new foods one at a time and observe for any signs of allergies. This gradual approach will help ensure that your baby adapts well to solid foods and receives adequate nutrition. Always consult your pediatrician for personalized guidance based on your child's specific needs and readiness.
