[dondon]

Hello I would like some help pls
My baby has been on solid for the past 2 months. He eats all vegetables and fruits (pureed)
I want to introduce rice. Shall I boil it? Mash it? Puree it?
Also what shall I mix it with? Yogurt? Veggies? Pls help
Can I also give pasta? And how and with what? Bread? What kind and how? What else can I give him now? (Other than meats which I wanna introduce in 2 -3 weeks) so he won't get bored.
Sorry for all these questions. Pls answer whatever u can
Thx for ur time

Just give it to him. The only pasta I would avoid is spaghetti because he could choke. I started my boys on bits of pasta at 6months. I didn't do red sauce at first because I was worried about acidic foods and reflux, but I would give it to them with cooked carrots on the high chair tray and they would self feed at 8months.

Just give it to him however you would eat it. Seriously, just take a few bites off your plate, cut it up, and put it on his high chair tray or a plate. He can start feeding himself now.

You can give him anything without honey and anything your family has allergies too.

Whatever you give him just put it on his plate cut it up if you think he'll choke on it.

No need to puree foods. Many parents are actually skipping them if they start at 6 mos.
