Here are some recommendations for what to introduce: ### Initial Foods: 1. **Single-Grain Cereals**: - **Iron-Fortified Baby Cereals**: Rice, oatmeal, or barley cereal mixed with breast milk, formula, or water. 2. **Vegetables**: - **Pureed Vegetables**: Start with mild-tasting vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, and squash. 3. **Fruits**: - **Pureed Fruits**: Apples, pears, bananas, and peaches are good choices. 4. **Protein**: - **Pureed Meats**: Chicken, turkey, or beef. - **Beans and Lentils**: Well-cooked and pureed lentils or beans. 5. **Dairy**: - **Full-Fat Yogurt**: Plain yogurt without added sugars. ### Tips for Introducing Solids: 1. **Start Slowly**: Introduce one new food at a time and wait 3-5 days before introducing another to monitor for allergies or sensitivities. 2. **Texture**: Begin with very smooth purees and gradually introduce thicker textures as your baby gets used to eating solids. 3. **Amount**: Start with small amounts (1-2 teaspoons) and gradually increase based on your baby’s appetite. 4. **Safety**: Avoid honey, cow’s milk, and foods that can be choking hazards like whole grapes, nuts, and hard candies. ### Sample Feeding Schedule: - **Breast Milk or Formula**: Continue to be the primary source of nutrition. - **Solids**: Offer solids once or twice a day after breastfeeding or formula feeding. ### Common First Foods: - **Avocado**: Mashed or pureed. - **Sweet Potato**: Cooked and pureed. - **Peas**: Steamed and pureed. - **Banana**: Mashed. ### Hydration: - **Water**: Small sips of water can be introduced with meals. ### Sources: - **American Academy of Pediatrics**: Recommends starting solids around 6 months of age and emphasizes the importance of iron-rich foods . - **World Health Organization**: Supports introducing solid foods at 6 months while continuing breastfeeding .
