ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. At 6 months of age, many babies are ready to start eating solids in addition to breastmilk or formula. It is recommended to start with simple, easy-to-digest foods, such as single fruits or vegetables, one at a time. Some commonly recommended first foods for babies include pureed sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, avocados, bananas, pears, and apples.
Mango is also a great fruit to introduce to your baby at 6 months, as it is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber. You can mash or puree ripe mango and offer it to your baby as a small portion, gradually increasing the amount as your baby gets used to the taste and texture.
When introducing a new food to your baby, it is important to watch for any signs of allergic reactions, such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or diarrhea. You should also space out the introduction of new foods by a few days, to help identify any potential allergies or digestive issues.
