By 8 or 9 months, you can start offering your baby their solids before breast milk or formula. By now, your baby's probably having 3-4 meals a day, 1-2 snacks, and 2-3 breast or formula feeds. By the time your baby's 12 months, they're ready to eat a little of what the rest of the family is eating but remember to be careful about foods that can cause choking.
