Solid food should be introduced at the age of six months. This is vital not just to provide them with the minerals they require, such as iron, but also to develop their jaw, which will aid in chewing and speaking. You can continue to breastfeed or formula feed while introducing small amounts of smooth, pureed, or mashed food once a day.
You can also give your baby little sips of cooled boiled water from a sippy cup when you’re giving them food. If anyone in your household has allergies, consult your doctor before introducing common allergy foods like eggs or cow’s milk.
