When transitioning to complementary food, the first recommended foods are single-ingredient items with low allergy risk. According to general pediatric opinion, you can start with yogurt, steamed and pureed vegetables (such as sweet potato, carrot, or squash) or fruit purees (such as apple, pear, or banana).
What's important is trying each new food on its own and 3-5 days apart so you can observe your baby's tolerance and any possible allergic reactions. No salt, sugar, or any sweetener should be added to the first foods tried. Due to iron needs, iron-fortified baby cereals starting from 6 months are also a good choice. One of the most common and safe choices for a start is steamed and pureed carrot or sweet potato. As always, consulting with your pediatrician before starting a new food is best.
