Medical disclaimer

Tiny Solids provides general educational information about feeding babies and young children. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for advice, diagnosis or treatment from your pediatrician, doctor, health visitor or another qualified health professional.

Every baby is different. Always talk to your pediatrician about your baby's specific needs, especially if your baby was born prematurely, has a medical condition, has trouble feeding or swallowing, has severe eczema, or has had an allergic reaction.

Our content is based on published guidance from official health bodies and is reviewed by independent medical professionals, but it is general information, not advice about your child. Guidance can change, and while we work to keep every page accurate and current, we can't guarantee it is complete or error-free. Never delay or ignore advice from your doctor, or delay getting emergency help, because of something you read here. See how we review content.

In an emergency, if your baby is choking, has trouble breathing, or shows signs of a severe allergic reaction, call 911 (US), 999 (UK) or your local emergency number right away.
