When Is the Right Time to Start Weaning?

One moment you’re learning how to hold your newborn, the next you’re staring down the baby aisle wondering if it’s time to offer a spoonful of purée or a piece of banana. It’s messy, exciting, and emotional all at once — because this isn’t just about food. It’s about watching your baby take their first step into independence.
