Our clinic told us most babies are ready for solids at around six months. Ask yours about your own baby before you start.
What we started with
Soft, mashed vegetables: butternut, sweet potato, avocado. One new food every few days, so we could see if anything disagreed.
What we stopped worrying about
- How much was eaten. At first it is about tasting, not filling up.
- The mess. A mat under the chair and an old towel saved a lot of stress.
- Faces. A screwed-up face is surprise, not always dislike. Try again another day.
Always stay with your baby while they eat.
