By around eight months old, your baby is crawling easily and sitting upright without support. Development is rapid at this age, especially in terms of eating behavior. It’s around now that babies begin to chew correctly. Solid food becomes the first dietary component to provide energy intake and baby is ready to try out more challenging tastes and textures.
There are several behavioral changes that indicate baby’s readiness to experiment with richer tastes and textures.
For instance, your baby may:
- sit without support and hold head upright
- respond to his/her name
- begin to stand with support
- wave goodbye with hand
- combine syllables into word-like sounds
Signs of readiness for richer tastes and textures include:
- crying in a different way to express hunger
- beginning to move tongue correctly and chew on both sides
- showing first teeth
- having active upper lip
- drinking from cup with help
- beginning to pick up food between thumb and forefinger
- beginning to move food laterally to teeth
