Why either: Early feeding is a throwback to the years when mom's made their own marginal formula from cow milk.It is not needed in the first year, but most begin the transition to solids when the kids can sit up, and the tongue thrust subsides, at about 6mo. When and if you start solids, you need to use a spoon.Solids are offered to teach a new method of feeding, not to fill some void in the babies nutrition.
