How to Introduce Solids

• Start with small servings (1-2 teaspoons).
• Introduce one food at a time and wait a few days before trying another to monitor for allergies.

Tips for Successful Feeding

• Be patient; it may take multiple tries for your baby to accept a new food.
• Maintain a calm and positive atmosphere during feeding times.

Conclusion

Enjoy this new phase with your baby and remember to consult with your pediatrician with any concerns.
