Question

Accepted Answer

At 4 months old, most babies are still on a diet of breast milk or formula. Introducing solid foods, including fruits like apples, is generally recommended around 6 months of age.

### **Here’s a brief guide on introducing solids:**

1. **Timing:** Wait until your baby is about 6 months old before introducing solid foods, as their digestive system is more mature and they are better able to handle solids.

2. **Introducing Solids:** When you do start solids, begin with single-grain cereals or pureed vegetables and fruits. Apples can be introduced after cooking and pureeing them to a smooth consistency.

3. **Preparation:** For a 6-month-old, you can cook apples until they are soft, then mash or puree them to ensure they are easy to swallow.

4. **Watch for Allergies:** Introduce new foods one at a time and observe for any allergic reactions.

### **Consult Your Pediatrician:**

- **Individual Needs:** Your pediatrician can provide personalized advice on when and how to start solids based on your baby's health and development.
- **Readiness Signs:** Ensure your baby shows signs of readiness for solids, such as sitting up with support and showing interest in food.

For now, stick with breast milk or formula and consult your pediatrician about the best approach to introducing solids when your baby is ready.
