I don’t blend my food, just mesh or cut into fine pieces. Did that for my previous 2 kids too! In that way, they adapt to food a lot faster.

Tried and white one and also the brown one. Then came porridge and also eggs at around 8 months. Can’t remember exactly. I will mashed the fish with fingers to make sure I never miss any bones. After that I use blender to blend everything. Did that also for prawn and vege porridge too.

Just make sure to check with Pediatrician to make sure baby has no allergies to some type of food… Stick with the same food for three days before trying another one. This makes it easy to track whether baby is allergic to a particular food.

So far, we’ve done green beans, peas, carrots and butternut squash.

She will be 6 months by the end of the week and is currently on stage 2 baby food. I am waiting for her motor skills to improve before I introduce her to new food. I want to be sure she is ready for it because I’m scared of the idea of her choking on her food.

You can also put 2 oz. in their bottle at bedtime feeding and they will sleep longer through the night. You can start this at about 4 months, when they can hold their head up. At about 6 months you can try a vegetable and a fruit but start with the vegetable so that they will eat it and not just want the fruit. You can also mix some baby rice with the veggies and fruit to make it a little more filling. Dont start with cereal. start with rice it is easier on your babys stomach.

A lot of doctors will tell you NO solids should be given until 6 months of age, cereal included, but every baby is different. If your baby has tolerated the cereal fine thus far then try some of those cookies and maybe some multigrain cereals. Stick with the grains until your baby is 6 mos old and let her digestive system mature enough to handle the veggies fruits and meats. Vegetables are the best to start with, it’s harder for a baby to digest the fruits and meats. Plus once she has the fruits, you’ll never get her eating the more bitter veggies.

6 months - fruits and veggies
9 months - meat
is what my son’ s pediatrician told me. But after 6 months he had 8 teeth and I could pretty much give him anything soft that I knew he could handle. He’s 11 months now and doesn’t even eat baby food anymore. He just eats whatever I make for dinner.

For us, we give rice soup, then some fruit Purée like apple pear and avocado purée.

You can refer to https://www.babyment.com/supplementary-food/baby-food.php for more recipes.

Wait for at least three days before you introduce new food to make sure your baby does not show any adverse reaction

For a 7 mth old baby, you can blend it with milk or just mash it. For toddler, you can spread avocado on the bread.

Children should be introduced to many different types of foods so that they can have more to choose from and also have a balanced diet. However, you should always check what is recommended for different age groups due to developing digestive and immune systems at different stages of their lives. I think one of the links I posted above will provide a link to a guide for this.

Also, you should always introduce milder foods first and avoid additives like sugar and salt. Milder foods may be gentler to baby's stomach and also taste. If babies get used to sugar and salt too early, they will refuse unsweetened/unsalted foods. Salt and too much sugar are actually harmful to babies so do use them with care and moderation. For my DD, even though she is already 7 yo, we still dilute her juices even when it states \"No Sugar Added!\" on the carton. We do the same for ours too.

Remember to introduce new foods one at a time, in small amounts and with familiar foods. This will not overwhelm baby and he/she may be more receptive towards trying out new foods next time. Wait for a day or two after feeding baby a new food and observe/monitor him/her to see if there are any allergic reactions like fever, diarrhea, rashes, vomiting, etc. If everything is fine, you can give the new food regularly and in more amounts.

Good luck!

P.S. Forgot to add that some foods may cause constipation in young children. My DD suffered from it when she took corn, applesauce (not apples), rice cereal (not rice) and bananas. Her doc said that some kids are like that and will eventually outgrow this problem. We searched online and found a list of foods to avoid and informed our parents as well. We stuck to this guide for a long time until we were very sure eating these foods do not cause her pain anymore.

Thanks!

I am not sure what other types of vegetables and fruits parents feed their babies…

As I feed my baby usually corn, broccoli, cauliflower and potato.

For fruits, she eats apple and pear.

Can children be introduced to many different kinds of food?
