If your baby is about 4 months old, you may be considering feeding her some solid food. But how do you know if your baby is ready?
The Nemours Foundation offers this checklist:
Has she lost her tongue-thrusting reflex? This reflex -- which prevents her from choking on formula -- could cause her to push solid food from her mouth with her tongue.
Can your baby hold her head up on her own? Before eating solid food, she needs to be able to support her own head and neck.
Is she interested in food other than a bottle? If she is watching and reaching for your food, she's probably ready to try a few bites of her own.
