So okay, I hear some readers wondering, if we don’t feed our infants baby rice, baby cereal, baby porridge, mashed potato, kumara, bread, pasta, noodles, crackers, biscuits, rusks and other starches, then what the heck do we feed a baby instead? That is an easy answer, give them primarily vegetables and fruit, topped up with some protein.
It is pretty normal these days to start a baby on some solids at around four to six months, but don’t feel rushed at four months to quickly introduce them to solids as breast milk, or formulae on its own, is fine for two more months and by then baby also had a better head start.
