We did baby led solids and DD started with banana, avocado, toast, leftovers from our dinner (so most vegies, rice dishes, stirfrys, pieces of meat), and so on. Not all at once, but we introduced new foods every few days. Yoghurt was her particular favourite and I did have to help her a bit with that one at first. The rest she just handled herself. We went to Weetbix a bit later, when she could handle a spoon properly.

We had one box of rice cereal that stayed in the pantry unopened until it past it's expiry date - so that one was completely unnecessary for us!
