📣 Is Your Child Ready for Solids? Here’s What to Know! 🍽️
👶Starting solids is a big milestone. But how do you know when it’s the right time?
At West Valley Speech Therapy, we’re here to support you and your child every step of the way with expert feeding therapy and personalized guidance.
✅ Signs your child might be ready to start solids:
👀 Showing interest in food
🪑 Sitting with support and holding their head up
👄 Losing the tongue-thrust reflex
🖐️ Bringing hands/toys to mouth
🕒 Most babies are ready between 4–6 months, but every child is unique and some may need extra help!
If you notice any of these signs you should consider Feeding Therapy:
❌ Refusal to eat solids or gagging frequently
❌ Trouble chewing or swallowing
❌ Stressful mealtimes or limited food variety
❌ Medical or developmental concerns impacting feeding
Feeding therapy can help build healthy eating habits, boost confidence, and make mealtimes enjoyable again. 💛
