Healthy amilyHealthy baby

How do I know my babyis ready?

Signs o readiness include:

He watches you eat and reaches

or ood

He can hold his head up and

has good head and neck control

He leans orward and opens his

mouth when ood approaches Milk eeds alone no longer

satisy him

For a guide on how to start visit


First oodsYour baby must learn to eat –

it’s a new and enjoyable skill!

Learning about ood involves

colour, texture, taste, temperature

and smell. Chewing and swallowing

are new skills that will be mastered

quickly with exposure to a wide

range o textures, colours and

favours. The recommended ageor starting solids is around 6

months, but not beore 4 months.

My baby does not like…

New oods may be rejected at

rst, but baby will accept a ood

i it is continued to be oered.

A ood may need to be oered

up to 8-10 dierent times beore

baby will accept it. You want

him to enjoy a range o oods,

so keep trying.

“A healthy love o goodood is one o the mostimportant things you canteach your baby. Healthyood choices now arethe basis or good healththroughout lie. Now is agreat time to encourage

the whole amily to eatwell or lie.”
