FOOD FOR BABY
When to introduce solid?
Between the ages of 4 and 6 months, most babies are developmentally ready to get their first taste of solid foods. At this point, they lose the extrusion reflex that is beneficial for sucking a breast or bottle but can shove a spoonful of baby cereal right back out. ere are some signs that your child is ready to try solids:
Sign that your baby is ready for solid
- She can sit up (with support) and can hold her head and neck up well.
- Her birth weight has doubled.
- She’s interested in what you’re eating and may even try to grab food from your plate.
- She can keep food in her mouth rather than letting it dribble out.
- She shows signs of being hungry for more than she’s getting by clamoring for more when her bottle is empty or wanting to nurse more often.
Feeding Baby Solids: What Foods to Start With?
These are the list of veggie, fruit, grain, dairy you can introduced and when you can served. Each time you introduce a new solid food, wait about three days to see if it causes allergic reaction. Don’t introduce anything new during that time; this way, if your baby develops hives, a rash , or a more serious reaction, you’ll know which food caused it.
