Introducing solids is a big milestone in your baby's growth journey. In the first six months, babies rely on nutrients from the womb and breastmilk or formula. As they grow, they need more nutrients like iron for healthy development, and that's where solid foods come in.

Eating solids helps babies develop important skills like chewing and swallowing, which are essential for their teeth, jaw development, and speech. Plus, early exposure to a variety of foods encourages lifelong healthy eating habits by introducing them to different tastes and textures.

Mealtime is also a social activity. Eating together helps your baby learn table manners, bond with the family, and develop language skills. Introducing solids supports your baby's overall growth, from nutrition to essential physical, social, and language skills. It’s the start of a lifelong journey of discovering and enjoying food!
