I have found this solids transition a little scary. She's 6mths old and been on solids for about 3 1/2wks and I am very scared she is going to choke or have a reaction to something. I have everyone in my ear saying she should have this and that (like vegemite, steak, mince, biscuits even telling me to start her on rice cereals when she was only 4mths). I am trying to keep her diet as healthy as possible so she will grow to enjoy the healthier options. So far I have kept everything to a puree but my daughter has had potato, sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, weetbix (with a small squirt of honey to sweeten it - bad mummy!), banana, apple, plain natural yoghurt, avocado, rice cereal and a few commercial jar foods (which she wasn't too keen on the vegetable/meat based ones (like sweetcorn & chicken) but loved the fruit ones (pear & banana)). Grandma has given her tomato and strawberry too. We are trying beans & pumpkin over the next few days. I have no idea if what I am doing is right but so far so good. She has 3 meals a day (and sometimes dessert, usually and smaller portion of what she had for lunch) about 3 or 4 bottles a day (usually 150mL but we offer 200mL just to be sure). We mix and match the above (I try and keep fruit for lunch and vegies for dinner) but I don't know where to go from here though.

With DS we started Round five months
We chose only one jar at a time...they go funny after a day in the fridge..and u don't want to. Waste itmeaning Romone ate lamb for lunch and dinner until the jar was gone...only a few little spoonfuls at first....
The reason to only choose one food at a time too is to check for allergies and to see what they really like...DS liked lamb once......then never again... Whereas he loved potato, pumpkin, and the fruits....
I also realized pretty quickly that although the jars are handy.... They aren't necessary.... I bought the fruits in jars and started giving him a banana or orange.....and then made our own mash foods with our food for the week. I'd make it fresh and serve the lot that I made within the day.... So eventually he stated eating everything we eat...which makes you eat better lol and less cost too.....
Custards are for later after the basic flavours and foods. And rusk sticks are greatand natural ( love the Aldi ones)
Nel.B, you're not meant to give babies honey before the age of 12 months.
Head on over to the baby led solids thread - there are loads of ladies on there to give you some advice.

I know but didn't realise why (thought it was more to do with tooth decay). I have just read up on it and won't be doing it again (and telling my MIL to stop suggesting it). She's only had it twice from me and once (I think) from MIL, when she decided to give her a finger full when she was only 3mths :@
