Starting Solids

When should I start solids with my baby?

The general recommendation is to start solids around 6 months of age. Every baby is different, so it’s important to look for signs of readiness, such as being able to sit up with support, showing interest in food, and having good head and neck control.

How do I know when my baby is ready for more texture?

As your baby gets the hang of purees, you can start introducing foods with a slightly thicker texture. Signs your baby is ready include chewing motions, increased interest in food, and the ability to swallow foods that are a bit thicker than purees. Typically, by 7-9 months, babies are ready for mashed or small, soft pieces of food.

How much should my baby be eating?

At first, solids are more about learning than nutrition, so don’t worry too much about how much they’re eating. Start with one or two meals a day and gradually increase. By 9-12 months, most babies will be eating three meals a day, along with breast milk or formula.

Do I need to give my baby water to drink?

Babies under 6 months old get enough hydration from breast milk or formula. Once solids are introduced, you can offer small amounts of cooled, boiled water in a sippy cup during meals, but avoid giving large amounts at first, as it could interfere with their milk intake.

What are the signs that my baby is full?

Look for cues like turning their head away, pushing food out of their mouth, or getting distracted.
