  child from breast milk or formula to regular food
  and when will be the best time to make that
  transition. Well also discuss how it will
  increase your babys ability to function during
  the day.
• Here are a few helpful tips for making the
  transition to regular food easy

Encourage your surrogate to eat a well-balanced
diet

• This may not seem important, but we have found
  that if a surrogate follows a healthier diet, the
  baby will be more interested in healthier and
  more nutritious food. Encourage your surrogate
  mother to eat more veggies, cook their food and
  choose organic options whenever possible.
• Some Intended Parents offer a monthly allowance
  to their surrogates to make sure that they eat
  organic foods. Even though this may seem a bit
  excessive, you might want to consider this for
  your surrogacy journey. Paying a little extra
  attention to make sure that your surrogate feels
  encouraged to eat and prepare healthy foods, will
  go a long way towards the food interests that
  your baby has.

• An Important thing to note is, if you have
  decided to feed your baby with your surrogates
  breast milk during the first few months of life
  (until 6 months) then it will be necessary for
  your surrogate to maintain a healthy diet during
  the time she is pumping. Thats because babies
  soak up every nutrient from breast milk, which
  comes from the rich foods that are eaten during
  the production of that milk.

Make your own baby food

• Being a parent is a full-time job, so it can be
  hard to find time to cook your own meals let
  alone a meal for your baby. Well theres some
  good news, making your babys food fresh will
  help eliminate many of your issues later down the
  line when you want your child to eat their
  vegetables.
• So, the question is How do you do this? Try
  blending your babys food! There are many online
  resources that for various recipes depending on
  the age of the child, and they break it down into
  what types of foods should be made for them and
  at what times to do so.

• Look for signs that your baby might be interested
  in your food
• At 5 -6 months of age your baby may start taking
  an interest in what you are eating. It is
  important to actively listen to and watch your
  baby. This can tell you a lot about them.  Much
  like you, they also show interest in a variety of
  things or have reactions to things. One day your
  baby might see you eating a pastry or a tasty
  pork roast that you just made and will start
  eyeing your food. If they start making noises,
  waving at you or pointing those little fingers at
  your food, then its a hard sign that it is now a
  good time to start introducing solid food to your
  little one.

Finalizing the transition

• The transition to solid food for an infant is a
  discovery period. You will still need to feed
  them their breast milk or formula throughout the
  day to supplement until your child decides they
  are done with milk.
• Youll know when this happens, its usually
  around the 1-year mark. At the one year mark, the
  baby has enough calorie intake through their
  solid foods. Some parents get tired of nursing
  their children and wean them off nursing earlier
  just because they are tired of the process. This
  is not frowned upon. However make sure to give
  your child breast milk for at least 6 months.
  Studies show great benefits to their health.

Make it fun

• Transitioning to solid food is a great time in
  your babys life. Make it fun for them by
  providing awesome and kid-inspired utensils!
  Although you might not be able to take them away
  even when they grow a bit older!
