Deutsch Introducing solids
At the age of 5-6 months, your child begins to show new interest in their environment and what’s going on at the table. “What are my parents eating and drinking? It looks very different from what I have…”
Your child wants to join in at the family dinner table and adapt to other forms of eating. They grab at food on a plate, if allowed, and explore their foodstuffs with their mouth and tongue.
In addition, solids provide additional nutrients for your child, giving them the chance to discover new tastes and consistencies.
It’s time to introduce solids. This is exciting!
