Making the transition from breastfeeding or bottle to solid foods is a big event for both you and baby. It's not just a matter of getting nutrition in a new way - it's a whole set of skills and enjoyments. All babies are different, and have their own preferences about what they like to eat, and when they're ready. If you have other children, you may be surprised by how different your new baby is from big brother or sister. It's important that you follow the individual cues of your new baby - each to his or her own!
