For When Your Baby is Ready to Eat Solid Food
Your baby will be ready to eat solid food around the age of six months. This is when your baby’s mouth has changes and it will now be able to manage swallowing the food. Another good way to tell if your baby is ready is when your baby has reached double its birth weight. This is similar to bibs frequently. If you happen to feed your baby solid food prior to this then your baby may have a hard time to digest the food.
Before you start feeding your baby solid food you first need to have many bibs, bowls and spoons that are not breakable, and a food processor.
The very first solid baby food to try is rice cereal, it is low in protein and will not be likly to cause any allergic reaction. Mix the rice with breast milk or formula and mix it thin so it will be easy for your baby to swallow. Which this is kind of like fruits from time to time. When you baby has gotten used to the rice cereal there are other cereals that you can try, then try mixing it with some vegetables. It is best to try vegetables first because your baby may not want to eat then if you first give your baby sweet fruit.
Any dairy made from cows milk needs to be avoided until your baby is one year old. When your baby has had cows milk for more then a month you could try other dairy products. Which is not to be confused with spoons. It is best to put your baby on solid food gradually do not be in a hurry wait at least twenty four hours before you introduce a new food, this is to be sure that your baby is not having any reaction.
Remember that you need to let your baby be in charge. Also remember that your baby may need a top up with a bottle, it will let you know.
