Perspective Pro Debate: To introduce solids early or not to introduce, this is the question.

Early life nutrition has the potential to influence long-term health; what an infant consumes and when they consume it is an important and potentially contentious topic. Breast milk alone will not sustain adequate infant growth beyond 6 months of age, solid food introduction is therefore essential to ensure normal growth through childhood. In the following pro debate, we discuss the evidence for solid food introduction commencing early in an infant's life. The ages we refer to throughout reflect the ages of babies born at full term as prematurity was an exclusion criterion for most studies investigating timings of solid food introduction.
