while starting solids what to start first?

Accepted Answer

When starting solids for your baby, it's best to begin with single-ingredient foods that are easy to digest. Here are some good first foods to consider:

1. **Rice Cereal**: Start with iron-fortified rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula.
2. **Pureed Vegetables**: Carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and squash are good options. Cook and blend them until smooth.
3. **Pureed Fruits**: Apples, pears, bananas, and avocados can be pureed to a smooth consistency.
4. **Oatmeal**: Iron-fortified oatmeal can be a good choice, mixed with breast milk or formula for the right consistency.

Introduce new foods one at a time and wait a few days before adding another to monitor for any allergic reactions.
