A. For a baby, especially one who is starting solids, focusing on nutrient-dense foods is essential for better health. Here are some suitable options based on the baby’s age and developmental stage: 1. **Fruits and Vegetables:** - **Pureed or Mashed:** Apples, pears, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas. - **Cooked and Softened:** Offer in small, manageable pieces as they grow. 2. **Grains:** - **Iron-Fortified Cereals:** Rice cereal, oatmeal. - **Soft Cooked Grains:** Quinoa, barley, and small pieces of bread. 3. **Proteins:** - **Pureed or Mashed:** Chicken, turkey, fish (ensure it’s well-cooked and free of bones). - **Other Options:** Lentils, beans (well-cooked and mashed). 4. **Dairy:** - **Yogurt:** Plain, unsweetened yogurt. - **Cheese:** Small, soft pieces. 5. **Healthy Fats:** - **Avocado:** Mashed or pureed. - **Olive Oil or Butter:** Added in small amounts to other foods. 6. **Iron-Rich Foods:** - **Fortified Cereals and Pureed Meats:** Important for preventing anemia. Always introduce new foods one at a time to monitor for any allergic reactions and consult your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby's specific needs and developmental stage.
