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.
