Yes he did! He gave some samples for cerelac nestle baby cereal for him to try and said 4 mths okay to feed. Any recommended first foods? :)

Great! Do note, baby might reject some foods but keep on trying. Also need to test whether allergy. For 4-6 months suggest. You can start with baby cereal , Avocado purée,vege purée eg carrots , spinach, sweet potatoes purée , pea purée, pumpkin purée (Mix with bm / fm.) fruits purée ; only Apple, pear, banana mix with bm / fm. To test any allergy for 3 days rule. Add on. At 5 months. You can give like very plain porridge soup for tasting first. Once baby accept , You can blend plain porridge , which baby can bite a little by little. 6 months and above. Once baby is ready to eat, know how to chew then you can start with plain rice / fish porridge , pumpkin porridge , tofu porridge etc , Snacks eg Yoghurt, cheese stick etc
