When can I start my baby on semi-solid foods?

Answer by  Ali41 (1593)

Talk to your pediatrician at your child's well-baby visits. Some kids start out as early as 4 months and some later, towards six. It has to do with how your baby is developing.

A baby can start eating solid foods between 4-6 months. The easiest thing to do is to introduce only one new item at a time starting with infant cereal.

Start introducing new foods when the baby is 6 months old. Doctors are saying that 4 months old is too early and causing digestive or allergy problems later in life
