Rice, oatmeal and barley are often the first “solid” foods offered
to babies. You can buy commercially produced mixes to which
you just add previously-­‐boiled water (follow the instructions on
the packaging) or make your own by grinding ¼ cup of the grain
(for oatmeal, do not use “instant” or “quick-­‐cook” oats) in a food
processor then simmering it with a cup of water for 10 minutes,
whisking constantly.
Vegetables
Green beans, carrots, peas, squash, yam/sweet potato are all
good and nutritious foods for your baby. Cook or steam the
vegetable until tender, then puree it.
Fruits
Bananas, mango and avocado require no cooking. Simply peel,
remove the seed or stone, cut into pieces and mash or puree it.
Papaya may need steaming to break down sugars and fibers, thus
making it easier to digest.
Fruits such as apples, pears, etc. need to be cooked. Peel the
fruit, remove the core or seeds, cut into pieces, then cook in a
little water or steam until soft, then mash or puree.
Peaches, nectarines, plums, pears and apricots can all be baked.
Once cooked, remove the skins and pits/seeds, then mash or
puree.
Prunes can be soaked in warm water or steamed until they are
plump and soft, then pureed in a food processor. Add plenty of
water because they will tend to become gluey and pasty.
Some fruits should be delayed until the baby is older, such as
melons (8 months) and strawberries (1 year).
Introducing meats and eggs should be also be delayed. If you are
not certain about introducing a certain food, consult a doctor,
pediatrician or public health nurse for advice, or consult a reliable
print or online resource.
