Is your baby sitting correctly for solids? 🪑 While some pediatricians still advise starting babies on infant cereal around 4 months old, this is outdated advice: as of 2020, the American Academy of Pediatrics, U.S. National Institutes for Health, and World Health Organization all recommend waiting until your baby shows signs of developmental readiness to introduce solids–which tend to show up around 6 months old.

✨ Portion sizes for babies don’t have to be complicated. Start with just 1–2 pieces of food (or 1–2 tablespoons of mashes or purées) and let your baby lead the way. Some days they’ll eat more, some days less—that’s normal! Breast milk and formula remain baby’s primary source of nutrition until their first birthday, but skill-building and allergen exposure are important! So go ahead and offer finger foods… but don’t stress if baby doesn’t eat much at first. 💗 | Solid Starts

You may have seen recent headlines about the baby food aisle — studies now show that over 70 % of jarred and pouch baby foods are ultra-processed, often high in sugar and additives, and concerns over toxic heavy metals persist. But here’s the good news: You don’t need to rely on jars and pouches, you can introduce your baby to real, whole foods (prepared for their age) and the family meals you already enjoy. And while there’s nothing wrong with the occasional pouch or jar, focusing on finger foo

Here’s the scoop… 🥄 Getting food to the mouth with the hands is hard enough, using utensils is a whole other fine motor challenge but babies can begin practicing right at 6 months. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Preload spoons and hand them over in the air for baby to grab onto. 2️⃣ Dip both ends of spoon in food so baby is successful either way 3️⃣ Let baby practice dipping and scooping with food like celery or a pineapple core 4️⃣ Use foods like Greek yogurt & hummus that easily clings to spoons 5️⃣ Use mul

If you want to raise a child who is curious about food and who is open to tasting new foods, who trusts themselves, who trusts you, and who eagerly tries to do things themselves to learn and grow — making the table a place they want to be is key. When you make the table a place of connection, where everyone feels safe, cared for, and listened to, your child will want to keep coming back. They will feel seen and ready to learn. They will have a positive, joyful relationship with food and mealtime

Choking is rare, but… some things increase the risk. ✔️ Avoid placing food in your child’s mouth. When babies self feed, their brains are more prepared to manage food in the mouth and coordinate a safe swallow. ✔️ Don’t rely solely on purees. Infants are most capable of learning chewing skills if they are exposed to foods which trigger chewing reflexes well before 12 months. Better chewing = lower choking risk. ✔️Avoid offering food when baby is crying as their breathing patterns are off which m

It will be worth it 🤍 There are so many benefits to letting babies self feed, but the mess is REAL. If you’re struggling with the constant clean-up, try to remember, this won’t last forever. Baby is learning and exploring and while it is messy, it can lead to a greater acceptance of a variety of foods and textures later on. On a scale of 1-10, how messy is your baby? 🧽 | Solid Starts

Fact: The easiest and safest time to teach a baby to chew is between 6 and 8 months. Chewing requires a totally different motor pattern that a baby can’t learn from purees or pouches. Between six and eight months of age, baby has built in reflexes to move the food to the side of their mouth as well as reflexes for biting and chewing. These reflexes are going to fade as baby gets older. This is why we recommend introducing finger foods to your baby as soon as they are developmentally ready to sta

How your child eats is just as important — if not more important — than what they eat. From an early age, teach your children: Body still. Eyes on food. Eat, swallow and then play. And remember, it’s never too early to teach your children what to do in the event of a choking emergency. Leah — you did SUCH an amazing job! 🤍 We send so much love to this this family, we are so happy everyone is ok and knew what to do in this scenario. Video/photo credit: @cnn 🤍🤍🤍 | Solid Starts

Bigger is better. ✅ While it may seem counterintuitive, bigger foods have benefits when your baby is starting solids. The larger pieces of food are easier for baby to grab and bring to the mouth. They are also easier for new eaters to remove from the mouth with the tongue or hands. Most importantly, bigger pieces build chewing skills and teach the boundaries of the mouth better than smaller sizes of food, which require more skill at moving around the mouth. Smaller pieces of food are often not a

A reminder for the holiday table 🤍 A sprinkle of salt. A bite of something sweet. These aren’t the things we worry about most for babies. The bigger risk? Foodborne illness. Especially during the holidays when foods are often left out too long and may carry bacteria that little immune systems aren’t ready to handle yet. Babies don’t need a lot of added sugar or salt—but a small amount during a holiday meal is okay. And keep in mind that there are so many benefits to sharing a family meal. The h
