Baby development food? So many different things online, what's the truth?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Many parents get confused, there's so much different information out there. I really understand your confusion. Starting solids around 6 months, the basic principle is to progress from what you normally eat in the family, made into puree form, starting with one ingredient and gradually varying.

You can start by boiling vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, potato, sweet potato and making them into puree. Try a new vegetable or fruit (apple, pear, peach) a few days apart. From 7-8 months you can thicken the puree slightly and mash it with a fork; around the same time you can start adding small amounts of protein like ground meat, chicken, or lentils. Salt and sugar should never be added.

The safest way is homemade purees with no additives. Ready-made jar foods can also be convenient, but read the ingredient list — there should be no unnecessary starch, sugar, or flavorings. Watch your baby's reactions, introduce each new food in the morning so you can notice any possible allergic reaction during the day.

Feel free to ask if you have questions about the solid food transition process.
