How feeding usually goes at 4 months old
Around now you can start watching for signs of readiness for solids (the tongue-thrust reflex fading, interest in food). Solids usually begin around 6 months.
What to keep an eye on
A sleep regression can overlap and shake up the feeding rhythm — it's often temporary.
aldagado's tips
- Taking more per feed while feeding fewer times is a natural change.
- Don't rush solids; watch for readiness signs together.
