@clarasmommy1: A few first-food ideas for the next grocery trip 🥦🥑 Around 6 months, once baby is ready, offer different tastes alongside their usual breast milk or formula. Soft cooked vegetables, mashed fruit and well-cooked pasta can all have a place. Include iron-rich foods too, such as tender meat, mashed lentils or iron-fortified infant cereal. Preparation matters as much as the food: 🥦 Cook firm vegetables until soft and adapt the shape to baby's skills. 🥜 Thin smooth nut butter into food. Skip whole nuts and thick spoonfuls. 🍝 Check ingredients for allergens such as wheat, milk, egg and peanut. Introduce new common allergens one at a time in small amounts. 🥒 A cool cucumber is still a firm raw food. Being chilled does not make every piece suitable for a beginner. Keep baby upright and stay with them while they eat. Save this for your next little plate 🤍 #startingsolids #babyfood #babynutrition #allergens #firstfoods
