For her first meal, it's best to start with simple, single-ingredient foods that are easy to digest and unlikely to cause allergies. Here are some suggestions:
1. **Rice Cereal**: Rice cereal is often recommended as a first food because it is easy to digest and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Mix it with breast milk or formula to a thin consistency.
2. **Pureed Vegetables**: Start with mild vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, or peas. Steam or boil the vegetables until they are very soft, then puree them until smooth.
3. **Pureed Fruits**: Begin with mild fruits such as apples, pears, or bananas. Make sure to puree them well and avoid adding any sugar or honey.
4. **Mashed Avocado**: Avocado is a nutritious first food that can be easily mashed to a smooth consistency.
When introducing solids, follow these tips:
- **Introduce One Food at a Time**: Offer a single new food and wait for three to five days before introducing another to watch for any signs of allergies or sensitivities.
- **Start Small**: Begin with a few teaspoons of food once a day and gradually increase the amount based on your baby's appetite.
- **Consistency**: Ensure the food is pureed or mashed to a smooth, runny consistency to avoid choking hazards.
Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to ensure they are appropriate for your baby’s specific needs and development.
