Signs Your Baby Is Ready for Solid Foods

Is your baby showing signs of readiness for solid foods? Transitioning from formula to solids is an exciting milestone, but knowing when and how to start can be tricky. Here’s a helpful guide to ensure a smooth transition — and a tip on making feeding easier with the Jili bottle, your ultimate travel companion for feeding on the go.

When Is Your Baby Ready for Solid Foods?

Most babies are ready to start solids around 4-6 months old. Look for these key signs:

Good Head Control: Your baby can hold their head up steadily.

Sitting Up With Support: This shows readiness for swallowing solid food.

Interest in Food: If your baby watches you eat or tries to grab your food, they may be ready.

Loss of Tongue-Thrust Reflex: This reflex prevents choking and typically fades by 4-6 months.

How to Start the Transition

Start Slow: Introduce single-ingredient purees like sweet potatoes or carrots.

One at a Time: Wait 3-5 days between new foods to monitor allergies.

Offer at the Right Time: Choose a time when your baby is alert and not too hungry or tired.

Stay Patient: It can take several tries before your baby accepts a new food.
