When should I give solid foods to my baby?

Dear Marie, I am a mother of a four-year-old child. I just had my second, and all the directives for introducing solid foods have changed! I am all mixed up, and am not sure what to do. What do I start with? When exactly? Do I let my baby do it alone? Allergies? Yikes!

I have so many questions….Régine

Indeed, recommendations for introducing solids have changed over time as new research and discoveries are made. However, the underlying logic remains the same. I have written an article called Baby Diets: When to Introduce Solid Foods? I think it will help you find answers to your questions.
