How to Start Solids with Confidence: Tips for Moms from Moss & Fawn’s Intro Guide

Starting solids is one of the biggest milestones in your baby’s first year. It can feel exciting, overwhelming, and a little bit messy—and that’s exactly why we created the Moss & Fawn "Intro to Solids" guidebook. Whether you're a first-time mom or just looking for a better experience this time around, our easy-to-follow tips help make baby's first bites less stressful and a whole lot more fun.

Why Our Guide Works

We designed our baby feeding guide to empower you through every stage of early feeding. The booklet includes helpful charts, feeding cues, baby-led weaning tips, and safe teething solutions—making it a perfect companion to our Moss & Fawn Forage Feeder and baby feeding bundle.

It helps moms:

• Understand when baby is ready to start solids

• Learn the difference between gagging and choking

• Feel confident about baby-led weaning and self-feeding

• Track new food introductions and allergies

• Incorporate safe, eco-friendly feeding tools into their daily routine

Our Top 5 Intro to Solids Tips (from the Guide)

1. Wait for readiness signs
Don’t rush. Watch for signs like good head control, showing interest in your food, and the ability to sit up with support.

2. Start with simple, soft foods
Think steamed veggies, avocado, or frozen breast milk popsicles in our baby food feeder or baby teething toy.

3. Use feeding tools that empower independence
Our Forage Feeder encourages self-feeding and supports fine motor skill development. It’s also a great way to ease teething pain when used with frozen breast milk or formula.

4. Keep it mess-positive
Embrace the chaos. A little mess is part of learning. Our tools make cleanup easier and encourage baby-led exploration.

5. Track what baby tries
Use our food tracker to keep tabs on allergens and new favorites. This helps reduce anxiety and adds confidence.
