When will your baby be ready to start eating something other than breastmilk or formula? This video discusses when to start baby food. Look for videos in the coming weeks that will cover what and how to start giving your baby food. As always, this video is a rough guide, and every baby is different. Premature infants, babies who have had trouble gaining weight, and babies with certain medical problems or developmental delays will likely be on a different feeding timeline. Make sure to consult with your pediatrician before starting food.
If you’re close to feeding age, be prepared by stocking up on these feeding favorites:
Bibs with a trough (to catch the mess) and a soft top that won’t bother baby’s neck. I keep these in my diaper bag (they roll up and click together for easy toting).
Sticky plates are another diaper bag staple. They roll up and make restaurant-eating a breeze (if one can ever call dining out with a baby a breeze).
Remember to check in on the “Development Through the Months” timeline as your baby grows.
