Is my baby ready for solid foods?

Yes: If the baby is able to keep her head steadily lifted from a prone position, and able to support the weight of her upper body on bent arms for extended periods of time -- like this: http://www.Stockphotopro.Com/photo-thumbs-2/stockphotopro_91948qeu_.Jpg.

Yes: Most babies are ready for solids between four and six months of age. If she's in that range, give solids a try!

Yes: Babies are generally ready for solid foods between 4-6 months. Does your baby have good head control? Does your baby look interested in the food you are eating? If so, then now is the time to introduce some solid food. Start with whole grain cereal- you make it with formula or breastmilk.
