How do I know when my baby is ready to start eating solid food?
assistant
Your baby may be ready to start eating solid foods when he or she has developed the coordination and motor skills necessary to pick up food. You can also look for signs such as rooting, grabbing at your finger, opening their mouth when you put food in it, and showing interest in what you're eating. Additionally, if your baby shows a preference for certain textures, tastes, or smells, this could indicate that they are ready to try solids.
