This article highlights the seven signs that indicate a baby's readiness to start eating solid foods. The signs include: being able to sit up with little or no support, showing an interest in what others are eating, being able to coordinate hand-to-mouth movements, displaying improved head and neck control, no longer pushing food out of their mouth with their tongue, demonstrating increased appetite, and showing signs of general readiness for a new experience.
