How old is your baby? Looking at your threads, I gather he was born around 10th May - is that right? If so, I think he's WAY too young for anything other than milk at the moment.

People have different opinions on this - there was a big debate on it quite recently. Some people start with baby rice at 4 months.

I'm waiting til six months as recommended by the world health organization when his digestive system is developed sufficiently for baby led weaning (you put different finger foods in front of your baby like steamed carrot sticks and let them choose what and when they want to start eating).

Talk to your health visitor about it nearer the time maybe?

Like elm, we're waiting until 6 months when his tummy is developed enough for anything other than milk. Some people spend time puréeing stuff, then freeze it in ice cube trays for use when they need it. But there's no reason why babies should need puréed food if you wait until they are able to sit up and feed themselves, then you can give them actual solids.
