Offer single-ingredient foods that contain no sugar or salt. Wait three to five days between each new food to see if your baby has a reaction, such as diarrhea, a rash or vomiting. After introducing single-ingredient foods, you can offer them in combination.Introduce new foods with old favorites. Seeing a favorite on your child's plate makes the new food less scary. ... Offer without pressuring. ... Offer a small portion. ... Let them see you enjoy the food. ... Try, try again.Include a variety of: Vegetables and fruit. Whole grain foods such as whole grain pasta and bread, oats, barley and quinoa. Protein foods such as meat, fish, poultry, dried beans, peas, lentils, nut and seed butters, tofu, eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese and fortified soy beverage.Let your child try one single-ingredient food at a time at first. This helps you see if your child has any problems with that food, such as food allergies. Wait 3 to 5 days between each new food. Before you know it, your child will be on his or her way to eating and enjoying lots of new foods.

This allows kids to develop an appetite before their next meal. Serve filling beverages or foods like milk or soup at the end, rather than at the start of a meal, to prevent the child from getting overly full before beginning to eat.
