Getting Started with Solid Foods

Introducing solids is an important stage of development. Most babies are ready to be introduced to solid foods at around 6 months, alongside baby’s usual breast milk or first infant formula. Before 6 months, babies get all the nutrients that they need from breastmilk or infant formula.

In Cardiff and Vale, you will be invited by your Health Visitor to attend an introducing solids group. If you are in a Flying Start area, you will be offered a visit at home to support you with introducing solids.

Speak to your health visitor if you have any questions about introducing solids.

Our friends over at Flying Start have made these easy to understand videos to support you with introducing solids.
