Introducing solid foods to your baby can be a fun and exciting milestone, but it can also be confusing and overwhelming. From purees to finger foods, there are so many options to choose from. Here are some meal ideas to get you started:
1. Avocado and Banana Mash
Mash together half an avocado and half a banana for a smooth and creamy puree that’s packed with healthy fats and nutrients.
2. Sweet Potato Wedges
Cut a sweet potato into wedges and roast in the oven until soft and tender. Serve as a finger food for your baby to gnaw on.
3. Apple and Cinnamon Oatmeal
Mix together cooked oats, grated apple, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm and comforting breakfast.
4. Butternut Squash Puree
Roast butternut squash until tender, then puree with a bit of breast milk or formula for a creamy and delicious meal.
5. Spinach and Cheese Omelette
Whisk together an egg with a handful of cooked spinach and a sprinkle of grated cheese. Cook in a pan until firm, then cut into small pieces for your baby to eat.
Remember, at this stage it’s important to introduce one new food at a time and wait a few days before introducing another one to check for allergies or reactions. Start with small amounts and gradually increase as your baby gets more comfortable with eating.
With these meal ideas, your little one will be well on their way to becoming a foodie in no time!
