Safe Banana Servings By Age

Introducing solid foods to your baby can feel like a giant leap forward. After all, they're used to having breast milk or formula for the first few months of their lives; will they even be interested in dry cereal and pureed fruit?

Our baby feeding guide is meant to give you a rough idea of how much to feed your child in the first year, but don't worry if your little one eats more or less than suggested, or if you feed your baby different food – every family is different.

While baby cereal is a traditional first food in the United States, you don't have to introduce foods to your child in any special order.

If you want to start with pureed fruits, vegetables, or even tofu, go for it.

Just remember that it's always a good idea to touch bases with your pediatrician before starting on solid foods, especially if you plan on getting adventurous!
