I started wif cereal for breakfast first. After hving for a week, i started wif veg puree for lunch. I would prefer to let baby start wif veg puree first (eg. Steamed Carrot/pumpkin/brocoli) as it is best to train them to like veg when young. (Fyi, when i was pregnant, i totally hate veg! The sight of it makes me wanna puke! Veg is actually my favourite food all along before i was pregnant! So i'm scared tat baby will grow up disliking veg, so i start early!) I hv not start baby on fruits. As fruits r sweet, most likely they will be able to like it. Unlike veg, veg can taste a little bit bitter so i will add some milk inside. Pumpkin dun need add milk as it is a sweet veg & it is very smooth when u mash it after u steam it.

Hi She wakes up at 8am for first milk. How much amount of food u gave? And how long apart after having their food u gave their milk?

There are a lot to try out. I started with avocado then sweet potato , potato, sweet peas , apple and carrots. Try to let baby explore as much tastes as possible keeping in mind to test new foods for at least three to four days and to avoid food that is not easily digestible for now. Meats should only be given around 7mo.

I give bananas, advocado freshly mashed and served. You can also give oats or cereal, steam some carrots, apples, pears, potatos or spinach and add it into the puree with some milk.
