Suggested First Foods after 6Months age
First foods can be prepared easily and cheaply at home without salt, seasonings and sweeteners. The foods should at first be mashed and smooth, but you can quickly move on to coarsely mashed foods and coarser textures. General suggestions include:
Start with a single food rather than a mixture.
Offer infant cereal first as it is fortified with iron and makes an ideal first food. Mix with expressed breast milk or formula to a smooth texture.
Otherwise, there is no particular order for foods:
Give vegetables and fruits, introduce meats, or chicken, and ‘finger foods’ such as toast..
Always sit with your baby while they are eating.
Encourage drinking water from a cup.
