What are some signs that an infant is ready to transition to solid foods?
What will be an ideal response?
The transition to solid foods should begin around age four to six months, but is determined by the infant's overall development and readiness. Cues that a baby may be ready to try complementary foods include an up-and-down munching movement, opening his or her mouth or leaning in for a spoon, closing the upper or lower lip around a spoon, moving food to the back of the tongue to swallow, and sitting with support and head control.
