First Foods?

Question

What are some foods you gave to your baby first? I'm not a fan of the rice cereals, I'd prefer something with more nutritional value. We got the okay from my son's pediatrician to start solids, but we're waiting until 6 months before we try. Pediatrician recommends starting with green veggies like peas and such. What were your experiences? Thanks!

Answer

We started with any of the stage one baby food purées. Lots of people think you need to start with a veggie because if you start with fruits, they won’t like veggies. But apparently there’s research out there showing that babies are going to prefer the sweeter stuff regardless of what order you start them in. 
Also, the newest research shows it’s best to introduce potential allergens early (and often).  So maybe something with the top 8 allergens should be semi-first. Yogurt is a nice easy one that falls under the top 8 allergen category. 
Other things I have heard as popular first time foods are bananas, avocados, and sweet potatoes.

Answer

We started with fruit first. We have also tried peanut butter per the Dr. Just like the other post said they are recommending trying these allergen foods early. We also did the stage one baby food. My daughter is 10 months and has been eating table food since she was 7 months.
