7 Signs Your Baby is Ready for Solid Foods

Many babies are ready to start solids between 4 and 6 months. Before you begin supplementing the breast or bottle with a more varied diet, make sure she is ready. These telltale signals can help you decide when it’s time to take those taste buds to the next level.

1 - Your baby has good head control.
2 - Loses the reflex to push food out of her mouth.
3 - Sits upright.
4 - Makes chewing motions.
5 - Has doubled her weight since birth and is at least 4 months old.
6 - Seems hungry - even with 8 to 10 feedings of breast milk or formula.
7 - Is curious about what you're eating.

Hooray! Your baby has reached a tasty new milestone.
