Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants are physically ready to start eating solid foods when they can sit up with some back support. This means that they have developed enough neck and core strength to sit up and swallow food safely. Losing the let-down reflex (A) is a sign that a baby is ready to wean from breastfeeding but does not necessarily indicate readiness for solid foods. The timing of primary teeth (C) varies widely and is not a reliable indicator of readiness for solid foods. While infants do need to be able to digest proteins (D), this ability develops before they are ready for solid foods and is not a specific marker of readiness.
