The first week of starting solids is a discovery and trial period for your baby to get used to new tastes and textures. Volume and nutrition are not the goal yet.
General recommendation is to start with one meal daily, offering a single vegetable (such as steamed squash, sweet potato, or carrot) as a puree. The first day, one or two teaspoons is enough; if your baby refuses, don't force it — try again a few days later. The same vegetable continues daily throughout the week, making it easy to identify which food might cause any allergic reaction.
Breast milk or formula remains your baby's main food during the first week — breastfeeding/bottle meals before or after solids continue as usual. Consistency should be a runny puree level, coating the spoon but dripping off. Choosing a time when your baby isn't very hungry (about 1-1.5 hours after their main feed) makes discovery more likely than refusal. Trying in late morning typically works better.
