First Solid Foods for Your Baby

Introducing solids is an important step in your baby's development. Most pediatricians recommend starting around 6 months, but every baby develops at their own pace.

Signs of readiness

Before offering your baby solid foods, make sure they can sit with support, have lost the tongue-thrust reflex, and show interest in food.

BLW vs. traditional method

Baby-Led Weaning involves giving your baby pieces of food they can pick up themselves. The traditional method starts with purees and soups. Both methods have benefits — you can also combine them.

What to start with?

Good first foods include cooked vegetables (carrot, broccoli, pumpkin), bananas, avocado, and well-cooked rice or porridge.
