A member asked:

When can we start to feed a baby with solid food? baby is currently at 4 months and 2 weeks

Now: Four months is a good age to introduce solid foods to the baby's diet. I hope that you are seeing your pediatrician on a regular basis and getting the vaccinations for your baby. Wish you and your baby good health!

Delay until 6mo: Solid foods were once used to make up for deficiencies in home made milk formula used in the 50's to 80's.A return to breast FDG & modern formulas changed the value of solids from nutrition, to a pathway to teach baby to eat & transition to table foods.Waiting until 6m allows baby to sit & participate in a feeding, much as they will when older.
