A member asked:
When can i start introducing solid foods, and what kind of solid food ?he is 4 months old now and he is on breast milk and formula for now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Solid foods: The american academy of pediatrics recommends waiting until 6 months of age. I usually wait until the child is13-16 poundsor 4-6 months, whichever comes first.
