Dipti jadhavMom of a 5 m old girl1 month agoA. Introducing solid foods usually starts around 6 months of age for most babies, while continuing breast milk or formula as their main nutrition source. Common signs a baby may be ready include: Good head and neck control Can sit with little support Shows interest in food (watching you eat, reaching for food) Opens mouth when food is offered Reduced tongue-thrust reflex (not automatically pushing food out) Start with simple, soft foods such as: Iron-rich foods first: mashed or pureed lentils, fortified baby cereal, mashed beans, soft cooked egg (if tolerated), pureed meat Mashed fruits: banana, avocado, stewed apple Soft vegetables: sweet potato, carrot, pumpkin
