When Should You Introduce Solids?

When your baby is ready, at about 4 to 6 months. Learn your baby's cues.

Can your baby...

• Sit with support?
• Hold head up without help?
• Pick up food with fist?

Remember:

Breastmilk or formula is the most important food for your baby until 12 months of age. Solid food should not replace breastmilk or formula, but can be added to your baby's diet when your baby is ready.
