What can a 6-month-old baby eat — is this normal, or should we see a specialist?

At 6 months, you're moving into the solid food stage — your question is exactly on point.
Around 6 months, your baby's digestive system is usually ready for solid foods. The World Health Organization and health departments recommend starting solids at this time. Good first foods include: single-ingredient vegetable purees (carrot, squash, potato), fruit purees (apple, pear, banana), plain unsweetened yogurt (homemade if possible), and iron-fortified baby cereals.
Important rules: Introduce each new food one at a time, waiting 3–4 days between them — this way you can tell if your baby has any reactions. Don't give honey or cow's milk (as a main drink) before age 1. Skip salt, sugar, and spices.
About whether to see a specialist: Starting solids is something you can manage on your own. But see your pediatrician if: your baby has trouble swallowing (coughing, choking, turning blue), gets a rash or hives, isn't gaining weight, or refuses all solid foods for 2–3 weeks after trying.
Enjoy these early tastes together — it's a wonderful time. If you have questions about a specific food or how your baby is responding, I'm here to listen.
