Hi mama!Glad to know baby is enjoying eating!Starting solids can be a very exciting time for mama and babies alike! Some good foods to start with include mashed up avacado, apples, broccoli, banana, pumpkin, sweet potato and more.Here’s a food list to get you started:https://raisingchildren.net.au/babies/breastfeeding-bottle-feeding-solids/solids-drinks/introducing-solidsNote: while this site advises to mix foods, I tend to err on the side of caution and introduce foods one at a time to see how baby reacts to the food given. For proteins, I’d start with fish before moving on to chicken and red meats.Eggs should be introduced slowly too.I hope this helps mama!
