You can continue breastfeeding or formula feeding while introducing solids. Some good options include mashed fruits like bananas, apples, or pears, vegetable purees like sweet potatoes, carrots, or peas, and soft cereals like oatmeal or rice cereal. You can also offer mashed lentils, tofu, or scrambled eggs as protein-rich options. Small pieces of soft cooked vegetables (like zucchini or pumpkin) and finger foods like soft, cooked pasta or small pieces of bread can help encourage self-feeding. Ensure the food is cooked well and cut into small, manageable pieces to avoid choking hazards. Avoid honey, whole nuts, or foods that can cause choking. Keep offering breast milk or formula as the primary source of nutrition.
