Is Your Baby Ready for Solid Foods?


 

Babies who are ready to start solid foods show all 5 of these signs: 


"I can sit up and hold my head steady."
"I put fingers or toys in my mouth."
"I am interested in what you are eating."
"I open wide."
"I can keeo food in my mouth and do not push it out with my tongue."


Recommendation

WIC recommends starting solid foods around 6 months. Talk with your WIC counselor to see if your baby is ready.
