At 8 months, my babies were already enjoying soft foods like mashed sweet potato, banana, avocado, and well-cooked rice with a bit of chicken or fish, honestly kahit ano basta soft and hindi mainit na sobra! A few of us mums tried introducing one new food every 3-4 days para makita kung may allergies, and we all noticed na mas excited sila kumain pag may variety, so don't be afraid to experiment with veggies like broccoli and carrots na properly cooked and mashed of course.
