Apple: Cooked and pureed or offered as applesauce. Pear: Cooked and mashed or pureed. 2. Vegetables Sweet Potato: Steamed or boiled, then mashed or pureed. Carrot: Cooked until soft and pureed or mashed. Pumpkin: Cooked and mashed or pureed. Peas: Cooked and mashed or pureed. 3. Cereals and Grains Rice Cereal: Mixed with breast milk or formula for a smoother consistency. Oatmeal: Cooked and mixed with water, breast milk, or formula. Quinoa: Cooked and mashed. 4. Protein Sources Lentils: Cooked until soft and pureed. Chicken: Cooked and pureed or finely shredded. Egg yolk: Hard-boiled and mashed (ensure there are no allergies). 5. Dairy (if introduced) Yogurt: Plain, unsweetened yogurt can be introduced as a healthy snack. Cheese: Soft cheese, such as cottage cheese, in small pieces. 6. Finger Foods (for practice) Soft-cooked vegetable sticks: Such as carrots or sweet potatoes. Puffed rice or teething biscuits: For self-feeding practice. Tips for Introducing Foods: Start with Single Ingredients: This helps identify any allergies. Consistency: Begin with pureed foods and gradually introduce more textured foods as your baby gets used to eating. Observe for Allergies: Introduce new foods one at a time and watch for any adverse reactions. Hydration: Ensure your baby stays hydrated, especially as solid foods are introduced. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods to ensure they are suitable for your baby's dietary needs.
