What was the first solid you gave your baby?

[Butterfly Dawn]

DS1 was a piece of vegemite toast he swipped from me, then purree apple, pear and custards (he was about 5 1/2 months I think)
DS2 was peach, he lunged at a peach I was eating and copped a face full its stil 1 of his fav foods, then he did finger foods, never liked anything in a spoon- funny cause now he loves baby food being fed to him ( thanks MIL)
DD is getting humoured, she screams when everybody is eating but is only 4 mths, I feed her EBM on a spoon, 3-5 spoons and shes happy

We're a BLS house here and DD first solids were broccoli & pumpkin

[Lisa B]

Rice cereal with EBM. then I began to mix in some pureed vegies - greens. I did vegies before fruit so DS didn't get used to sweet things too quickly

[sloane]

it was going to be steamed vegies but DS got his hands on some bread first.

after that it was either porridge (the real stuff, not the baby stuff) or yoghurt

[helle]

rice cereal... followed by pumpkin and sweet potato because he hated the rice cereal ^^;

Looks like she'll be having pumpkin tonight ... feeding herself though fromthe slop I put on her tray... see how she goes. we did the BLS with DD#2 too.

spag bog lol. Marta decided to reach in and grab a fistful at 4.5 months and we kinda went from there

We fell into doing Baby Led Solids as, well, she demanded it lol

DD was rice cereal which she hated so we did BLS but she had no real interest in food until 7-8months, so it's not especially important to start at 6 months on the dot.
DS, for some reason I doubted myself and made him rice cereal too...then I remembered how crap it tasted and went to BLS again. I think it was toast and par cooked carrot to start.

Banana and avocado smashed together! She couldn't get enough of the stuff!
