It’ll be all change soon with the arrival of your little one’s first teeth and that means moving on to solids if your baby is ready. At around 6 months your baby’s digestive system is developed enough to accept food other than milk alone, so the weaning stage is approaching!. If you've got any questions about feeding your baby, just give us a call.
