Summary

In this lesson, Eliza shares tips to help prepare your baby for starting solids, starting as early as around 4 months. First, she suggests getting your baby familiar with sitting in a highchair, gradually building their comfort with the position. She highlights the importance of an upright posture to reduce choking risks and provides tips for ensuring highchair safety, such as using adjustable footrests. Eliza also advises letting your baby observe you eating, mimicking your chewing to help them learn. Finally, she recommends giving babies teething toys or "hard munchables" (like mango pits or lamb bones) to practice oral motor skills, preparing them for chewing and swallowing when they're ready for solids.
