When starting complementary food, the generally accepted order is:
Vegetables (potatoes, carrots, squash, sweet potato) and fruits (apple, pear, banana, avocado) are preferred first. Vegetables and fruits are introduced one at a time and in small amounts, with each new food tried 2-3 days apart.
Next, yogurt (homemade, unsweetened), rice flour, and oats are added. After 6 months, well-cooked red meat and chicken (puree consistency), egg yolk, lentils, and chickpeas are tried in order.
Fish, cheese (unsalted, pasteurized), whole wheat bread interior, and pasta can be added at 7-8 months. The newest additions are sugar, salt, honey (after 1 year), cow's milk (after 1 year), and berries—foods with higher allergen potential.
The Turkish Ministry of Health and AAP recommend not starting complementary food before 6 months and, starting from 6 months onward, introducing it gradually (without delay until baby is ready to eat).
