  Baby food - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baby food is any food that is made specifically for infants, roughly between the ages of six months to two years.
Each baby is different: some may need food other than breast milk or infant formula sooner than others, and as there is no Baby Food Pyramid, it is hard to tell the nutritional requirements of any given baby.
Babies typically move to consuming baby food once nursing or formula is not sufficient for the child's appetite.
