This has to be the most nerve wracking and scary stage for most parents. I know it was for me! Introducing solids is a a huge milestone that can seem really daunting at first, especially if your making your own baby foods.
This page should give you an idea about what foods you can start your babies on that are safe, healthy and nutritious. Remember there is no "set in stone", "right" way for starting solids. Follow your gut and also let your baby lead you. You can be sure that your baby will make it absolutely clear if they like or dislike something!
Baby cereal and soft cooked thinly pureed fruits and veggies should be your baby's first solid food experiences. Experiment with single ingredients only and always follow the 4 day wait rule with introducing each new food.
Rice and Oatmeal cereals are the least of the allergenic grains and thus most babies are started out with those cereals. You don't HAVE to start with cereal - feel free to try avocado instead or even banana.
Here are some examples of other first foods deemed safe as first foods for babies.
Cereals & Grains :
Rice | Barley | Oats | Raagi | Broken Wheat (Sooji Gothambu)
Fruits :
Apple | Banana | Avocado | Pear | Peaches | Apricot
Vegetables :
Carrot | Pumpkin | Peas | Sweet Potato
