Introducing and figuring out the timing and correct way of introducing solids to an infant can be quite stressful for parents. There has been generational debates on when is the right time, what the right texture is and how often you should feed your baby.

Today on #TheSitDownParenting we take a look at feeding guidelines for infants, understanding a child's gut development and myths we have been exposed to.
