Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start solid foods?

The WHO and most pediatric guidelines recommend starting solid foods at 6 months. Signs of readiness: sits with minimal support, shows interest in food, has lost the tongue-thrust reflex, and can move food to the back of the mouth.

What are the best first foods for babies?

Single-ingredient purées are ideal for first foods: iron-fortified rice or oat cereal, sweet potato, carrot, pea, avocado, and banana are common first choices. Introduce one new food every 3–5 days to spot reactions.

How do I introduce allergens safely?

Current guidelines recommend early, consistent allergen introduction. Start with one allergen at a time (peanut, egg, dairy, wheat, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, sesame, soy), wait 3–5 days, and watch for hives, vomiting, or breathing changes within 2 hours.

How much solid food should a 7-month-old eat?

At 7 months, solids are complementary to milk — not a replacement. Aim for 2 solid meals of 2–4 tablespoons each. Breast milk or formula remains the primary nutrition source until 12 months.

How can BabySync help track solid foods?

BabySync's solid food log records every food introduced, reaction notes, and amounts. Ask ChatGPT "Have I introduced all the top allergens?" or "What did my baby eat this week?" to get a complete picture.
