During the first 6 months of your baby’s life, they rely on the nutrients stored in their body from when they were in the womb and also through breastfeeding and/or infant formula. However, it decreases as they grow and hence why they need to start eating solid foods. There are many matters to take into consideration before starting on solids with your baby, such as the signs of readiness, baby weaning, force feeding and others. It is important to take advice, such as from experienced parents or even better, professionals such as your child’s paediatrician before deciding whether your baby is ready and what solid foods to give them.
