Mother milk and solid food.

Whether or not a four old month baby is capable of having food other than breast-fed milk or baby formula, depends on the health condition of the baby.

If the baby has not experienced any stomach related problems up till four months, he can start having solid food in his diet.

Generally, smashed food is fed to the baby, as he can swallow it without chewing. Pastes and liquid food can be included in the baby food diet. However, it is advised that nothing spicy or oily should be tried.

4 to 9 months baby food chart

Your baby does not need to feed often as he reaches four months. His stomach grows bigger by this age and he tends to develop feeding habits that are more like elders.

Despite less feeding, he will still gain weight. He may attempt to snatch the food off elders' plates.

Though he may be unable to chew, due to lack of teeth, he will lick it to test its taste. Parents often mistake this gesture of the baby and encourage him to eat more of the solid food.

Parents should keep in mind that baby food for 4 month baby is very different from what we adults eat.
