Hi Laura,

I think it's best to go solids within an hour after a milk feed until they are about 9 months, then the other way around.

Start with one meal at about 6 months- breakfast or lunch is good, then if the food gives them a bellyache it won't keep them up. Introduce 2 meals at 7 months, then 3 at 8 months, then snacks between meals as well.

A mix of steamed vegies is nice, but I don't know many bubs who like potato puree'd Mashed banana and avocado is also good. Keep things really simple at first. At this age, solids is just for fun- tasting new things and feeling new textures. Don't expect bubs to eat much at first- a couple of teaspoons is a good effort.
