Who do new moms go to for advice on when to start babies on solid foods and which foods should be introduced first? I have found that most moms do not get the nutrition support they need from their child’s pediatrician. Most moms through trial and error introduce their babies to solid foods. It is usually because their babies are fussy and they are hoping that by giving them solid foods they will sleep better. What they don’t know is that there are certain foods that should not be introduced too early because of the risk of developing allergies and there is the danger of overfeeding which results in overweight children.
