When the baby is four months old, breast milk or iron-fortified formula is still the main food in the baby's diet, from which all the nutrients needed can be obtained. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children start exposure to foods other than breast milk or infant formula at about 6 months of age. Every child is different. If you can establish a 4 month old baby feeding schedule, it will help make life easier when you want to start a 5 month old baby routine or even a 6 month old routine for a health, happy baby!

  If your baby shows signs of preparation, you can start giving baby food at 4 months and make a baby feeding schedule for introducing solids. If your baby does not show these signs-don't start. Wait until he is ready or 6 month solids.

Tips For 6 month old feeding schedule with solids and breastfeeding

Try to maintain regular feeding times during breastfeeding and solid feeding.

Start with breastfeeding or formula feeding, and then introduce a small amount of solid food.

Remember to take your time and don't force your baby to eat solids.

Let them eat as much as they want.

Provide one new food at a time to make it easier to spot any food allergies your baby may have.

Do not add sugar or salt, which may cause health problems in the future.

The eight most common allergenic foods are milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. Normally, you do not need to delay the introduction of these foods to your child, but if you have a family history of food allergies, please discuss with your child’s doctor or nurse what to do for your child.

 

What to feed baby first

At first, your child is more likely to eat food that is mashed, mashed, or filtered and has a very smooth texture. Your child may need time to adjust to the new food texture. Your child may cough, nausea, or spit. As the baby's oral skills develop, thicker and more chunky food an be introduced.

Some foods are potentially choking hazards, so it is very important to feed your child foods that are suitable for his or her development. To prevent choking, prepare foods that are easily dissolved by saliva and do not require chewing. Feed a small amount of food and encourage your baby to eat slowly. Always look at your child while he is eating.
