How do you start solids?

Question

My babe is turning 6 months in a few days and we are starting him on solids. I’m thinking of starting with a mashed banana. Would love some ideas on how you did it or what you need to buy?

Answer

Doooont do banana. It’s very constipating. Same with apples. Start with veggies if you can, since it’s most difficult to get them to accept those over sweet fruit. Mashed peas are good! Same with puréed spinach, broccoli, all the green stuff. They’re higher in iron, too.

Answer

I was recommended to start with high iron food.
Puréed peas, spinach, green beans and sweet potatoes are a good start!

Answer

Check out SolidStarts on Instagram or their website. Tons of great information vetted by pediatricians and nutritionists. 
They have recipes and pictures of food  sizes and everything. It was a godsend for me!
