Safe feeding positions
When starting solids, many parents like to begin with their child in a high chair if they can sit up themselves, but you can also feed your baby on your lap facing to the side or in front. Importantly, feed them in a semi-upright or upright position.
When choosing a safe high chair, look for the Australia’s Standards label (AS 4684) and one that is sturdy and stable with a harness with straps that go over the shoulders and hips and between the legs. If it has wheels, make sure the wheels can be locked and look for a simple design that’s easy to clean! High chairs are useful until your child is two or three years old.
Either way, make sure your baby is comfortable and that their feet are supported, rather than dangling from the chair. The tray height should allow your child’s elbows to rest comfortably on the top, usually at elbow height or just a little higher than elbow height. If the tabletop is too low your child will end up hunched forwards, and too high they will scrunch their shoulders up high.
It’s important to feed your baby front on so they are not turning their head to you and remember to always stay with your baby while they are eating. Where possible, feed your child in a quiet area with less distractions.
Unsafe feeding positions
It’s unsafe to feed your baby lying in a cot, the bath or whilst you are driving. It’s also not recommended to feed on the floor or on cushions.
Kidsafe recommends extreme caution when using a booster seat or a hook-on seat because children can easily be injured if they are used wrongly.
Sitting to the side of your baby requires them to turn their head to the side for food. Your child’s trunk is less stable this way and they are not feeding with head in the midline position. So best to feed them directly in front of you!
Where possible, try to avoid feeding in areas that have a lot of noise and distractions like the TV.

Please read this important message.
If you are able, breastfeeding is best, as it provides the ideal nutrition for babies and has other important health benefits too. Health Professionals are well placed to provide appropriate feeding advice and support. A healthy diet during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding is important.
Introducing infant formula either partially or exclusively, may reduce the supply of breast milk. Once reduced, it is difficult to re-establish. Social and financial implications, such as preparation requirements and cost of formula until 12 months, should be considered. When using infant formula, always follow the instructions for use carefully, unnecessary or improper use may make your baby unwell.
