Good luck!View Thread

I advise my patients that they may start solid foods between 4 and 6 months (waiting until closer to 6 for exclusively breastfed babies so they can benefit from the nutrition and antibodies in breastmilk and starting around 4 months for babies not satisfied with their breastmilk or formula intake); they can introduce foods in any order (meat, fruit, vegetables or cereal); and they should wait at least 3 days in between each new food to watch for allergies. Finally, all foods at this age should be soft and smooth and not present a choking hazard.
If there are any other questions, be sure to discuss them with your baby's doctor. Good luck!View Thread
