Important: This guide is for general information only and does not replace pediatric advice. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing solids. Breast milk or formula provides complete nutrition for about the first 6 months. Introduce solids around 6 months when baby shows readiness signs. Introduce one new food every 3-5 days and watch for reactions. Early introduction of allergenic foods (peanut, egg, dairy, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish) between 4-6 months may reduce allergy risk, but talk to doctor if baby has severe eczema or egg allergy. Never leave baby unattended while eating. Avoid choking hazards under 12 months.
