When your baby is ready for solid foods alongside breast milk or formula, they’ll start to sit up, keeping their head steady. They’ll also begin to look at food and start co-ordinating how to pick it up and bring it to their mouth. They’ll begin to swallow, too - which is a sign to look out for. All of these signs are worth keeping an eye on as they’re a handy indicator that it might be time to start slowing introducing solids.
