Although there is no hard rule, a few guidelines should be followed. Before giving any food other than breast milk or formula the baby should be able to:

--Hold his head up without assistance

--Sit without flopping forward when propped in an infant seat or high chair

Generally, doctors recommend waiting until the baby is AT LEAST four months old. For families with a history of food Allergies, wait until at least six months or longer.

A good first food is baby rice cereal mixed with formula, breast milk or water. It is best to start babies on bland foods first, since starting on sweet things (baby fruits, some veggies like sweet potatoes) will make baby turn away from bland things she needs in her diet later. Also, starting with a very strong flavor, like baby creamed spinach, could turn baby off to eating solid foods.

Remember when starting baby on solids:

No milk or most dairy until after age one

No seafood until after age 3

No peanuts or peanut products until age 3

No egg whites until after age 2 (egg yolk is ok)

Write the Foods In A Book You Eat?

Losing weight is hard, but you can get a jump start if you write everything down in a program for weight loss. Get a large calendar or notebook so that you can keep a record of the foods you eat during the day. If you are eating lots of foods that have sugar in them, you will begin to see a pattern of when you eat those foods. Make a list of foods that you like eating that are healthy and then add them in to your daily routine. Each week add more foods to what you are eating and remove the ones that are not healthy.
