After the first weeks of weaning at around 6 months old, your baby reaches a new important milestone of development. He/she should be exposed to different tastes to accustom to a variety of foods for healthy eating habits later in life. New foods should be introduced gradually while baby continues eating products adapted to earlier stages.
There are several behavioural changes that indicate baby’s readiness to experiment with new, more complex tastes.
For instance, your baby may:
- sit up in a high chair
- start to crawl
- turn head towards sounds
- pick up objects and put them in mouth
- begin progressively to transfer objects from one hand to the other.
Signs of readiness for more complex tastes include:
- showing good control of lips and tongue
- beginning to be able to chew
- gradually starting to hold food and put it into his mouth
- beginning to drink from a cup held by an adult
- breathing more slowly
- beginning to show likes and dislikes for foods
- making a bolus (by moving food from front to back of mouth) and swallowing it
- keeping lips closed when offered food he/she does not want
- holding bottle with help
- moving upper lip to accommodate spoon
