My 4-month-old son is currently taking Nan Pro 1 formula; is it safe to introduce solid foods like mashed fruits and vegetables along with it, and if so, what is the recommended quantity and frequency?

At 4 months, your baby?s main source of nutrition must remain Nan Pro 1 formula. Standard pediatric guidelines recommend waiting until 6 months to introduce solids. However, if your pediatrician advises starting now due to developmental readiness (like good head control), you can introduce smooth, single-ingredient purees (like mashed banana or pear). Start very slowly: offer only 1 to 2 teaspoons once a day, preferably after a formula feed. Introduce only one new food at a time, waiting 3 to 5 days to monitor for any allergic reactions. Always consult your pediatrician before starting solids.
