Solid food introduction starts as of the age of 6 months while continuing breastfeeding, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Between the ages of 10-12 months, your baby try eating most of the foods you eat now, if they are cut up or mashed properly so that he/she can safely chew and swallow. Unless you have a strong family history of allergies, the American Academy of Pediatrics now says there is no need to avoid peanut products, eggs, wheat, or fish until after one year, although many pediatricians are still cautious about peanuts and shellfish due to the strong allergic reactions sometimes associated with them. Avoid whole cow’s milk, strawberries, and honey until at least one year, because:

1- honey can cause a dangerous illness called infant botulism,
2- strawberries may induce allergies, and
3- cow's milk is characterized by increased solute load on the kidneys of your baby, and has an associated risk of iron insufficiency.
