A member asked:
My son is going to be 4 months on the 30th of march. when is the best time for me to start giving him solids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually at 6 months : Your baby is developing swallowing mechanisms and when there is enough coordination to swallow a small amount of puréed solids, the introduction of baby rice cereal mixed w breast milk may begin. The cereal adds iron to the diet. Please discuss the next steps w your Pediatrician.
