Can 9-month-old baby eat bulgur pilaf—this is my first baby and I have no idea, can you help?

Bulgur pilaf is generally not an ideal solid food for 9-month-olds because bulgur is made from wheat and contains gluten. Gluten introduction can begin at 9 months, but bulgur has high fiber content and small-baby digestion can struggle with it, causing gas and stomach upset.
A better choice: well-cooked, pureed rice pilaf (low-salt, low-fat) or coarse-ground oats—you can try gluten-containing grains in small amounts. If you want to try bulgur, use fine bulgur, soak it well, mash with a fork to puree consistency, and mix with another familiar vegetable puree. Start with a very small amount (1-2 teaspoons), follow the 3-day waiting rule.
Just in case: watch for allergy signs on first try (rash, fussiness, diarrhea)—if you see them, consult doctor. Don't put too much pressure on yourself for trying new things; we all learn as we go.
