Go with pureed fruits (which was what I did & also adviced by my baby's PD) then vegetables like sweet potato, butternut squash, potato, all pureed or mashed. I started with pureed lady finger banana which is not too sweet. Always try a single ingredient first and for 3 days to see if baby has any allergy towards the food. If all is ok then can start mixing the fruits/veggies.

Perhaps can start with fruits first like avocado, banana mixed with bm. Steamed apple purée. Try for three consecutive days before moving on to the next type in case of allergy reaction.

You can go with pureéd fruits, my kid loves bananas and avocado..

Why not try purée of fruits like apple?
