Simple Signs

The best way to tell whether your baby is ready to start solids is to watch for cues. Here are some signals that show the time is right to begin offering food:

  • Your baby is able to sit up well on his/her own, without your assistance.
  • Your baby is able to turn his/her head away to refuse the food you are offering.
  • Your baby develops a persistent pattern of remaining hungry after the usual feeding.
  • Your baby stares at you when you eat or grabs for your food.
  • Your baby can swallow pureed food, rather than reflexively spitting it out.
