What age should I wean my baby onto solids and what and how much should I give him ?

Answer 1

You should begin solids around 4-6 months. Start out with just one solid feeding per day, and gradually increase over the next few months. Around 8-10 months, you can start giving finger foods. As baby gets better at eating table food, you can then gradually decrease the baby food.

Answer 2

Solid foods are started around 6 months of age, when baby is showing all the signs of readiness. They really can't digest it much earlier than that. Starting solids prior to 6 mos of age can bring increased risks of allergies, diabetes and obesity.

At first, it's really only a few spoonfulls. Solids foods during the first year are really mostly for fun and practice. Formula or breastmilk should continue to be the main source of nutrition.

Bananas, avocados and sweet potatoes are the best first foods.

Answer 3

At 6 mon. the baby can take semi solids like porridge n mixed blended fruits eg banana, orange,pawpaw,avocado, passion.At nine months start off with light foods such as rice stew,apple stew, smashed peas. all this food should be well cooked.You can also opt for baby food bought is stores like celerac.Always mix with some milk.
Start with small amounts then gradually increase.Make sure the baby continues to take its milk more often and some warm water to decongest the digestive system since its new to all this.You be alright.
