Introducing solid foods to your baby should only begin after a wait of at least four months since birth. Breast milk or formula should be the only source of nourishment before this period.
Once your baby reaches this age milestone, it is recommended to start by offering small amounts of baby cereal that has been thinned with breast milk or formula. This will help your baby get used to the texture and taste of more solid foods.
In addition to cereal, you can also begin introducing your baby to fruit juices that have been thinned with water. While it is generally safe to introduce most types of fruit juices at this stage, it is important to hold off on introducing orange juice for another month or two. This is because orange juice can be quite acidic and may cause discomfort or stomach upset for some babies.
Overall, the transition to solid foods can take anywhere from four to six months, but by following these guidelines and listening to your baby's cues, you can ensure a smooth and successful journey.
