I provide an introduction to the topic of introducing solids to babies. I explain the importance of commencing solids between 6 and 12 months, highlighting the developmental and health benefits it offers, as well as the risks associated with starting too early. 

Additionally, I discuss the challenges posed by an immature digestive system and the potential for food allergies.
