After 6 months of age, most babies are ready to try solid foods. Although, babies with good head control may try iron-fortified cereals as early as 4 months. Parents can begin incorporating soft, healthy snacks or jarred baby foods at this age. Consider starting with iron-fortified cereal, soft vegetables and soft or pureed meats or food. It’s recommended that parents start to incorporate common food allergens into their baby’s diet early on. However, honey should absolutely not be introduced until after 1 year of age.
