When Can Babies Start Introducing Solid Foods?

Babies typically need to be four months old before they can start introducing solid foods, and should begin with pureed foods to avoid chunks that could choke the baby. You can start by feeding rice porridge or banana puree, introducing one food at a time, and observing for a week before adding new foods. Babies may have allergies to certain foods, so it’s important to be aware of their reactions. Avoid adding sugar or salt to the food within the first year to prevent kidney strain. Fruits can be fed, but they should be peeled to avoid getting stuck in the throat.
