The Starting Solids Readiness Quiz

Is your baby ready for real food? Age alone does not answer that. I look at four things: body strength, mouth skills, signs of interest, and anything in your baby's history that matters.

It takes about two minutes. There is no score and no grade. Just a detailed, helpful assessment of where your baby is right now.
