Introducing a baby to solid foods and fruit juices should be a gradual process, feeding one food at a time.

The right age – suggested by doctors – when to start solid feeding is usually six months, depending on the individual needs of the infant.

At this time, the baby’s digestive tract is able to handle solid food better. Throughout the first year, the digestive system constantly improves its ability to break down food. Enzyme systems become a stronger barrier against proteins which may cause allergic reactions.

Nature has also planned it so that the nutrients (especially iron) which have been stored in a baby’s body start to deplete at six months.

As a result, babies will need additional nutrients which breast milk or formula alone cannot supply.
