Mom's Favorite Question

Hi All

I am back. I know that the very famous concern every mom has when trying to start solids with the baby is: Is my lil' one ready? Am I doing the right thing? Is this the right age? etc., etc.,

Well !!! Answer to that is : Your baby.

Yes She will give you clear signs when she's ready to move beyond liquid-only nourishment.

• Head control.
• Sitting with support
• Showing interest when you eat your food are a few signs.

If still in doubt here is a simple quiz that can help you decide.

Starting Solid Foods Quiz

1. Is your baby four months or older?

2. Has your baby doubled his/her birth weight?
3. Does your baby consume 32 or more ounces of breast milk or formula each day?
4. Does your baby turn his/her head away when he/she is full?
5. Does your baby frequently put things in his/her mouth?
6. Does your baby watch with interest as you eat, perhaps even opening his/her mouth and leaning forward as if to ask for a bite?
