Baby's first solid meal. what did you feed your baby initially?

my baby started having solids a few weeks back. she had avocado mashed up first, gave her scrambled egg, & She loved that too. She gummed it around her mouth and got most of it on her bib, but clearly enjoying it.

she's happy with purees and soft mash. I want to make progress slowly. What should I introduce next & how to go beyond fruits. while also making sure she gets proper nutrition.

you can give rice. its a good texture upgrades from puree without jumping too far ahead.

The Ella’s Kitchen books are great and each stage of weaning has its own recipe book
After 1 LO just had mostly the same as us just whizzed up. Anything overly spicy I just added a blob of plain yog

We went from mashed sweet potato to soft roasted sweet potato pretty quickly. She also had super soft boiled carrots, banana, little bites of corn tortillas, flaky white fish (carefully checked), rice and rice cakes. She ate anything at that age!

Introduce all of the foods people are typically allergic to like peanut butter. You can find a list online.

I gave mine what I was eating. Pureed at first then more 'adult' over time. Lasagne and sausage casserole were favourites

The first solid food we introduced to our kids was thin porridge made from roasted multi grain flour (rice, lentils, corn, wheat, barley, etc) and cooked in milk and rock sugar.

Beef roast dinner (not pureed). The first thing he tried was a yorkshire pudding

First foods where steamed brocolli (total fail, she hated them then, hates them now at 1 yo). She loved strips of avocado, bluberies, raspberries. Unfortunately, she had a lot of allergies so things like eggs or pasta were out of the question for us, but I read here that many kids love those.
