When is Baby Ready for Solids

Whether you decide to go with traditional weaning (purees), baby-led weaning or a combination of both, look for these readiness signs in your baby:

• Around 6 months of age
• Sitting with minimal assistance
• Good control of their head and trunk
• Bringing hands and toys to their mouth
• Appears interested in food, possibly by reaching for or leaning forward towards food

Before you start weaning your baby, you should consult with your pediatrician to make sure your child is developmentally ready.
