POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. At 5 months and 14 days old, your baby is nearing the age where solid foods can be introduced, but it's typically recommended to start solid foods around 6 months. However, if your pediatrician has advised you to start solids, here are some gentle options:
1. **Rice Cereal or Single-Grain Cereal**: Mix with breast milk or formula to a thin consistency.
2. **Pureed Vegetables**: Start with mild veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes, or peas.
3. **Pureed Fruits**: Begin with easily digestible fruits like apples, pears, or bananas.
4. **Mashed Avocado**: Rich in healthy fats, mashed avocado can be a great first food.
Always introduce one food at a time and wait 3-5 days before introducing another to monitor for any allergic reactions. Continue to prioritize breast milk or formula as the main source of nutrition.
