⚡ Short answer: For a 6-month-old, introduce solids one at a time, slowly, and with 3-4 days between each, starting with tiny tastes of vegetable and fruit purees.

When transitioning to solids with a 6-month-old, the most important rule is to start one food at a time, in small amounts, and with patience. Trying each new food 3-4 days apart lets you watch for possible allergies or sensitivities.

To start, vegetable purees (sweet potato, carrot, squash) or fruit purees (apple, pear, banana) are good options. They should be smooth, not lumpy. Rice cereal or yogurt are also good starter choices. Breast milk or formula is still the main nutrition; solids are just a taste at first.

Most importantly: offer the new food when your baby is hungry but not ravenous, not when they're full but interested — this way the chance of rejection drops. In the first 1-2 weeks, just 1-2 teaspoons is enough.

The Turkish Ministry of Health doesn't recommend solids before 6 months; from this age forward, it recommends moving toward foods that will meet your baby's iron and zinc needs. If you're worried about your baby's weight gain, bowel movements, or skin reactions, I'm on the side of consulting your pediatrician.
