At what age should baby foods be introduced to infants?

Usually around 4-6 months. If the baby doesn't seem to be satisfied with just formula or breast milk, then it's probably time to start on solid foods. Usually its best to start with infant cereal mixed with formula or breast milk.

Once they've mastered eating this, you can start with stage one baby foods.

I totally agree, 4-6 months seems to be the best and safest bet. Some studies have found that introducing solid foods earlier can lead to different food allergies, and their little bodies aren't developed enough for solids yet. ModernStork recommends this order for starting solids: Rice cereal/oatmeal Other cereals Fruits, one at a time Yellow vegetables Green vegetables Be sure to keep an open dialog with the child's doctor and keep up with the well-baby visits during this very important time in the child's life!

If a baby is fed the normal way (human milk), then they may not be interested in solids for much longer than what we as a society think. Here is what my well-educated, certified, doctor's wife midwife told me:Babies are ready for solids after two teeth have erupted. The more nutrient-dense your diet, the later the teeth erupt.

Then, the first thing to start them on is meat. This is for two very good reasons. They have the right enzymes to digest meat first, and your sign that they have them is the two teeth.

Secondly, meat is never sweet, and you want to introduce them to foods in order from least sweet to...as sweet as you want them to have. Which might not be very sweet. To screen for sensitivities, keep it at one meat for 3-4 days.

Then add another. This will save you lots of wondering or even E.R. visits. Next, add dark green veggies, doing the same thing of introducing one new thing every few days.

Then add lighter green, then reds, then oranges and yellows. Follow this with the fruits, again from the least sweet to sweeter. At the very end, add grains.

Babies get the proper enzymes to digest them last, and the increasing incidence of diseases with a connection to a damaged digestive tract, from allergies to Crohn's, may be connected to this century's Western habit of giving grains to babies well before they are equipped to handle them. Current research indicates this happens after 12 months and sometimes as late as 24 months, so some doctors now recommend waiting until 24 months to introduce grains and grain products. Of course, follow the usual advice on honey, citrus, and nuts.

The strengths of this method are that you will know what foods bother them and how; you are working with how their body develops instead of risking damage; and because you are introducing new foods slowly, ANY new thing you give them will be greeted with glee. Which means less pickiness and a wider diet, resulting in better nutrition.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
