I give aiden petit feleu i think they app are sugery but he loves em, i give these if i run outta baby porridge - aiden loves heinz banana cereal and porridge. i would start with the baby cereals, think adult ones are alot chunkier, need to get used to the mouth actions lol, so those and purees, sweet pot / roasted carrot / parsnip / apple and pear / avocado i have read bt not tried yet. Think have to be careful with eggs and no shellfish, but all the usual home foods ie spag bol / dinners puree'd are ok. xxx

I know jars are frowned upon by HV as is everything lol but aiden loves em, so thats good enough for me, when hes older he will eat with us etc and i can monitor whats going in - he only has half a jar and i get the healthiest ones i can see too xxx

No breads and pasta and such because they can contain wheat and that may trigger a gluten allergy. Baby rice is the first cereal they should try. Its the easiest to digest. They don't want you to introduce eggs to a 4 month old, but its okay for 6 months and up. All of the things on that are safe after 6 months except nuts (I would wait till 7-8 months to introduce peanut butter etc.) (Cow milk may be mixed in with foods, but not to drink) You should just stick to simple fruits and veggies for now... (banana, apples, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, squash,etc)

Lol. Good luck with weaning. Its fun and you really start seeing your babies personality, when they start picking what they like and don't like.
