Introducing solid foods is an exciting milestone for infants, however, there are a lot of key considerations for caregivers. Through reviewing recent literature and my practical experience as a pediatric dietitian I have developed a resource to support caregivers throughout this exciting process. This is a 9-page, comprehensive yet simple guide that includes everything caregivers need to know when starting solids with their little ones. An essential resource for dietitians who specialize in infant nutrition.
This printer-friendly guide covers:Â
- The purpose of introducing solids
- When to introduce solids (developmental signs of readiness)
- How to introduce solids (both baby-led and traditional weaning reviewed)
- What solid foods to introduce (including examples)
- How to build a balanced plate for baby
- How to introduce allergens
- What fluids to offer
- An introduction to the division of responsibility and responsive feeding

Great resource
This was exactly what I was looking for – updated guidelines for new moms. The moms I have shared it with have all given positive feedback, including “Not TOO overwhelming”. Appreciated the inclusion of new guidelines for introducing common allergens.
