Signs to help you tell if your baby is ready for other foods
Your baby’s routine may alter when she is close to 6 months. The following signs can suggest she is ready for other foods as well as milk:
- wanting more milk after you have finished a feed or demanding feeds more often
- waking up during the night after starting to sleep through (check she is not ill)
- eye and hand co-ordination is better
- beginning to bite or chew and ready to swallow food taken from a spoon.
