A. At six months old, your baby can start exploring solid foods in addition to breast milk or formula. Here are some suitable options: 1. Single-Grain Cereals: Start with iron-fortified cereals like rice or oatmeal. Mix them with breast milk or formula to achieve a smooth consistency. 2. Pureed Fruits: Offer soft fruits like bananas, apples, pears, or avocados. Make sure to mash or puree them to avoid choking hazards. 3. Pureed Vegetables: Cook and puree vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, or squash. Ensure they are well-cooked and smooth. 4. Pureed Meats: Introduce pureed meats like chicken or turkey for additional protein and iron. 5. Yogurt: Plain, full-fat yogurt can be introduced as a source of calcium and healthy fats. 6. Soft Foods: As your baby gets used to solids, you can gradually introduce soft, well-cooked foods cut into small pieces, such as scrambled eggs or small pasta. Always ensure that the foods are appropriately cooked, soft, and easy for your baby to swallow. Introduce one new food at a time and wait a few days before trying another to monitor for any allergic reactions.
