POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. 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.Solid foods may be introduced in any order. However, puréed meats, poultry, beans and iron-fortified cereals are recommended as first foods, especially if your baby has been primarily breastfed, since they provide key nutrients.Solid foods: If you and baby's pediatrician have decided to feed baby solids, go slow and follow baby's cues. You might start out with one ounce at a meal and gradually increase the amount to about three ounces three times a day, if it seems like baby enjoys eating that much.
