The best time to start solid food to your baby is once he has completed his 6th month.But many moms start giving their child between four and half to fifth month onwards.(I being one of them). Many moms would agree with me that feeding soild food to your baby for the first time is so exciting. To see your baby gulping down that little amount of rice cereal , apple juice or enjoying the taste of banana, is so fulfilling to us !!
Its said that we should first start by giving rice cereal to the babies. Start with one spoon per day . You can gradually increase the intake depending on how your baby is taking it Let the baby enjoy the taste of one food for some time., dont jump in to add another food immediately. Once started givng solids, look for any kind of reaction on your little one's body, any kind of rash, pimples. swelling etc should be immediately informed to the pediatrician , If the baby is doing fine with the food then after 3-4 days ,start with another one.
Apart from the rice cereal ,you can also give them boiled and finely mashed pears,apples, potatoes, pulse soup, mashed banana sweet peas and carrot juice. Set a routine for the babies, as what is to be given what time of the day.Likewise they will also learn and develop their eating pattern.
To see your child enjoying his first food intake is worth capturing..So have your cameras ready ..!!!
