Introducing solid foods to infants may be at once exciting and stressful for both mother and baby. The reason is, it indicates the baby has started strong and growing, but whether the baby is strong enough to accept it? When is the best time to give solid food to infants? Because, to give solid foods to infants, we not only consider his age, but also pay attention to any signs that he can already do.
In general, your baby will begin to give a signal when it is ready for solids around 6 months of age. Around this age, he already could be more reluctant to actively participate in the process of eating. Here are some common indicators that your child is ready for solid food and begin to develop a sense of feeling on.
* She can sit up (either alone or be helped), and can support himself in the head.
* He opened his mouth for the spoon close to her lips, then closed.
* He can show you when he began to feel full or still hungry when the food started to be fed. The sign, he would turn away from the spoon when he had enough, or keep open his mouth when still feel hungry.
* He let his tongue at the bottom and flat when you put the spoon into his mouth.
* He showed an interest in food eaten by people around him.
In addition, when the baby reaches 6 months of age, enzymes in the digestive started growing up, and was able to ingest and destroy solid food. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the age of 6 months can be an important time for the baby's nutritional needs. A baby will likely need extra iron he could pull from the nutrient-dense foods. For example, from a slurry of iron-fortified infant. Be sure to give a distance of about 4-7 days between new foods to see any allergic reaction or not. Remember, that provide breast milk and formula milk should remain the main source of nutrition during the first year of a baby boy.
