Once your baby reaches six months old (or at the age recommended by the pediatrician), it’s time to introduce solids on top of regular milk feeds. This is called the process of weaning. As a first-time mum, i did a lot of trial and error when I started weaning my child when she was six months old. Believe it or not, although Amber is a total foodie now, my first few attempts at feeding her solids were pretty challenging!
