Your baby may be ready to start solids if she is able to hold her head up. It is important that your baby is able to maintain a steady, upright position in order to take first foods from a spoon. Your baby needs to be able to sit well when supported. She should be able to move food to the back of her mouth and swallow. As your baby learns to swallow efficiently you may notice her drooling decrease. At six months your baby may even have a tooth or two.
Most babies are ready to eat semi-solids when they’ve doubled their birth weight, which may take place before or around their sixth month. You baby will display curiosity about what you’re eating. They will reach out to try foods travelling from plate to mouth.
