Solids practice?

Introducing solids usually begins when your baby is around 6 months old. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Turkish Ministry of Health both recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. From month six onward, new foods join your baby's diet gradually and with patience.
First choices are usually single-ingredient, smooth vegetable purees (potato, carrot, zucchini), fruit purees (apple, pear, banana), yogurt, or rice flour porridge. Each new food waits 3-5 days alone so you can track any allergy. Salt and sugar are never added.
Your baby starts with tiny amounts—a teaspoon or two—not to fill them up, but to explore. Never force eating; if they refuse, try again in a few days.
As time goes on (7-8 months), foods progress to mashed textures and soft bites. Breast milk or formula continues as the main source. By age 1, the pattern is roughly 3 main meals plus snacks, alongside continued nursing.
Rejecting certain foods, slight constipation, or poop texture shifts are common. If weight gain stops, serious allergy signs (rash, lip swelling, breathing trouble) appear, or diarrhea lasts weeks, call your pediatrician.
Start with the easiest first solids: boiled potato or carrot puree.
