In general, your baby can start eating solid foods at around 6 months of age, but there are signals to keep an eye on in order to know if he is really ready to eat:
– He sits up straight in his high chair for 30 minutes.
– He is able to say “no” with his head or push food away with his hands.
– He is interested in what the parents are eating for supper.
Mother Hen offers two varieties of purees: smooth and textured. For your 6-month-old, start with smooth purees. Then, as your baby develops, offer him textured purees when he’s around 8 months old. Babies can be ready for textures before they’re 8 months old – you’re the best judge of what they’ll like!
