Podcast: Introducing Solid Foods

In this episode of Kids Health Cast, Elizabeth Odom, M.D. discusses what parents should know about introducing solid foods to their babies. She highlights the importance of head control, ahead of preparing a newborn for eating. She reviews the type of foods to start with and what to consider when introducing new foods, including looking out for allergic reactions. She also discusses the other types of milk that you can introduce your baby to, outside of breast milk. She encourages parents to speak with their child's pediatricians first before introducing new and solid foods into their routine.

Every parent wants what’s best for their children — but in the age of the internet, it can be difficult to navigate what is actually fact-based or pure speculation.
