Introducing solid foods to your baby can be such an exciting time! If you’re thinking about starting baby on solids you might be wondering what signs of readiness might look like or exactly how to start on solids. Babies should be ready to start solid foods around 6 months of age, when they can sit upright when supported and have good head and neck control. You might also find that your baby has started becoming interested in the food you’re eating or is wanting more milk at the end of a feed. Once it’s time to start baby on their first taste of solids it’s important to take your time, have them in a safe feeding position (upright in a chair) and remember it’s all about the experience! Speak to your healthcare professional or a Dietitian who can help you decide whether your baby is ready.
