How to tell if your baby is ready for solids? Here are a few hints:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is your baby&#8217;s tongue-thrust reflex gone? This reflex, which prevents infants from choking, also causes them to push food out of their mouths.<\/li>\n<li>Can your baby support and control his or her own head? To eat solid food, an infant needs good head and neck control and should be able to sit up.<\/li>\n<li>Is your baby interested in food? A 6-month-old baby who stares and grabs at your food at dinnertime is clearly ready for some variety in the food department.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your doctor gives the OK approval but your baby seems frustrated or uninterested as you&#8217;re introducing solid foods, try waiting a few days or even weeks before trying again. Solids are only a supplement at this point \u2014 breast milk and formula will still meet your baby&#8217;s basic nutritional needs. Remember that breast milk and formula milk should be the main source of nutrients until age 1! Do be careful about food allergy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baby starting solids? How to tell if your baby is ready for solids?
