First Foods (4 – 6 Months)

I started Big H on vegetable puree firstly and then introduced fruit soon after.  I stuck to the recommendation of introducing a single food at a time to be certain of no allergic reactions. Once he had tried most foods I started to make combinations there of. I held off giving meat until after 6 months for no specific reason other than it took a few months for Big H to really start enjoying solid food so we worked up to meat.  I buy organic fresh produce to make baby food. See why here

In Australia it is now recommended to give babies all food types from 4 months.  This includes meat, fish, eggs, nuts and other foods considered highly allergic. Please note that I am not a doctor or nutritionist, I am just sharing what worked for my son.   Please consult your health professional if you have any food concerns or you have a history of allergies in your family.
