After rice cereal. Honestly, there's no one right way to do it. We did rice cereal for a few weeks, then added some avocado, then finished the box of rice cereal and tried oatmeal and picked up the pace from there. [ Reply | More

Don't be nervous. You want to try things that are easy to swallow in the beginning: avocado, mashed banana, then either make your own or try baby food: strained peas, etc. Honestly, it's not scary. [ Reply | More

At this point it's not about nutrition. Main source of nutrition is still breast milk or formula [ Reply | More

There's nothing advanced about it. Think in terms of texture. A ripe avocado is mush. [ Reply | More

Start with the cereal. Rice, then barley then wheat. Then move on to the yellow/orange veggies. Carrots, squash, etc. Then the yellow fruits. Pears, apples. Have fun. It's a cute time. Remember that it's not really food for them. It's just taste and experience. They are still getting most of their nutrients from formula or breastmilk [ Reply | More
