When my son was approaching 6 months old, it seemed like he was ready for real food. And I was ready for him to start—I was really looking forward to the milestone of solids! My husband and I took a video of my son the first morning we gave him cereal mixed with breast milk. In it, he’s seems genuinely interested in trying to get the new food in his mouth—and in the background you can hear me enthusiastically saying, “Look, he likes it!”
Feeding your baby solid food is a major milestone—and it’s worth the wait.
