What can I give for solids?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When starting solids, usually around 6 months, here are the first foods you can give your baby:

  • Single-ingredient vegetable purees (carrot, zucchini, potato, sweet potato)—steam and puree.
  • Single-ingredient fruit purees (apple, pear, banana, avocado, peach)—mash well or puree.
  • Yogurt (plain, unsweetened, full-fat) and a small amount of molasses.
  • Rice cereal or oatmeal made into a porridge-like consistency.
  • Boiled and pureed legumes like lentils or chickpeas.
  • Green vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower (steam and puree first).
  • Very well-cooked and pureed chicken or ground meat (boneless and unsalted).
  • Egg yolk (very well cooked; white comes later).
  • Tahini and olive oil (a small drizzle for nutrition).

At the start, give each new food on its own and wait 3-4 days; watch for allergic reactions. Progress textures from puree to mashed to finger foods over time. Never add salt, sugar, or honey (absolutely forbidden before 12 months). If you notice any allergy signs, talk to your pediatrician.
