The phrase
"small amounts of solid food" refers to eating or consuming small portions of non-liquid, physical nourishment in the form of chewing and swallowing.
Full definition
Unless there is good reason to suppose otherwise, we should assume that those who choose to eat
only small amounts of solid foods are simply letting their parents know that breastmilk is doing a great job.
You can start
small amounts of solid food as early as 4 months; however, based on the most recent health information, we recommend waiting until closer to 6 months to start solids.
Starting with the normal breast or formula milk, you should make sure that you introduce
a small amount of solid food just before your baby is about to have a full stomach.
Start by giving
a small amount of solid food each day and gradually increase the amount as the baby gets used to eating different foods.
