Accepted Answer

After six months, you can start introducing solid foods to your baby while continuing to breastfeed or formula feed. Here are some foods you can start with:

1. **Single-grain cereals**: Iron-fortified baby cereals like rice, oatmeal, or barley mixed with breast milk or formula.
2. **Pureed vegetables**: Carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and peas.
3. **Pureed fruits**: Apples, bananas, pears, and peaches.
4. **Pureed meats**: Chicken, turkey, or beef.
5. **Iron-rich foods**: Pureed beans, lentils, or tofu.

Introduce one new food at a time and wait a few days before adding another to monitor for any allergies or reactions. Avoid honey, cow's milk, and choking hazards like nuts and whole grapes until the baby is older.
