The baby begins to eat solid food during the first year of life. Cereal is followed by vegetables, fruits and meat. Although formula milk may still be given, most babies whole milk often the first few months. You must give semi solid food during 4-6 months of the baby.

Indications for feeding solid foods

1. gains interest in adult food

2. if the baby can control his head

3. if he gets hungry easily.

Always check with your pediatrician, but the rule of thumb is to wait until the baby is 4 months for solids.

My pediatrician has recommended  to feed solids to a  baby until he/she's 6 months. He told me that research has shown that introducing foods before 6 months leads to obesity and diabetes.

From 2nd month to 3rd month, the infant can be fed a clear soup made from vegetables and changing to thicker soup gradually in addition to milk.

A Baby is ready for semi-solid food when he reaches double the weight of his birth weight. At this time, he can control his head & neck, he can sit up with support, he shows interest towards your food.

I was being adviced by my doctor to start solid foods on my baby only when he is 6 months old. My parents were asking me to start solid foods for my baby when he was 4 months old because that was what they have been following. The reason given by my doctor is that to avoid giving solid food early because it can cause digestion problem that could lead to continous serious diarrhea problem for a baby. At last, I followed the doctors advice.
