What is the average age for babies to start eating solids?
In the last two years the DR’s opinions on this have changed quite abit. It used to be around four months, now they have changed the age to 6 months. Researchers say that babies under the age of 6 months do not have the capabilitie to digest anything other then mothers milk or formula, and they reccommend that a babies first food is mashed bananas. Keeping an infant on nothing but fluids for that long can be very challenging, especially for a breast feeding mother that has a very demanding infant, I think in this case you should consult your childs doctor.
