Is your baby actually ready for solids? Age is only one piece of the picture.
As a pediatric feeding therapist, I look at your baby's body control, early mouth skills, interest in food, age, and anything in their history that might matter before that first bite.
This takes about two minutes. There's no score and no grade. You'll get a simple assessment of where your baby is right now, what I'd keep watching, and what to do next.
