January/February 2005
 

Starting Solids is an extremely popular brochure that has been completely updated and revised to include the most current scientific advice for introducing babies to solid food. The brochure contains extensive information on transitioning infant feeding from breast milk and formula to solid foods and provides practical tips to help parents know when their baby is ready for solid food, which foods should be given, and how much food is enough. The brochure provides guidelines to help prevent airway obstruction as well as information from the American Red Cross on what to do if your child is choking. Starting Solids is published by the International Food Information Council Foundation in partnership with the National Association of Pediatric and Nurse Practitioners. To view the brochure in PDF format, go to http://www.ific.org/publications/brochures/solidsbroch.cfm. To order single or multiple copies of the brochure, go to foodinfo@ific.org.
