Find a natural baby solid food schedule that matches your child's development. This book offers practical recommendations on meal scheduling, variety, and safety, inspired by expert counsel.
At six months, watch for supported sitting and feeding interest. Start with single-ingredient purees (e.g., iron-rich veggies, fruits, lentils) and soft finger meals to develop comfort and motor skills. Begin with one meal in month one, move to two by month seven, and gradually transition to three solid meals and milk feeds by months eight to ten.
Diversify grains, allergies, seeds, and spices as babies develop by recording new tastes and reactions in a simple chart or diary. Safely proceed from purees to lumpy mash to soft finger meals, noting gag and choking risks. This technique promotes self-feeding independence, positive mealtime behaviors, and a varied, enjoyable eating pattern.
