What food do you feed your baby when he/she starst solid food?

Question

I already know what to feed my son I was just wondering what everyone else feeds their babies. My son loves mashed udon with veg and rice with veg. Yogurt with banana is his fave though.
P.S. I live in Japan

This is not the only thing I give him. And I don't give him this all at the same time. It is just an example people. And he eats it in small amounts with his formula. He is still in the process of being weened.

Answer 1

I used sweet potatoes, white potato, green beans, chicken, lamb, ham, pumpkin, all of them puree. For desert bananas, apricots and apples. While I was doing my own babyfood i find this websites very useful. Take a look you will like them:

Answer 2

I always start them on rice baby cereal mixed with formula. But both of mine just loved those mashed bananas as soon as they were ready. Now my son is addicted to bananas, he eats 2-3 per day and he doesn't get constipated at all! Sometimes, he'll cry after eating lunch or supper because he wants those bananas!

Answer 3

When my sons started eating food other than formula, I started them with the different baby cereals (rice, barley, oatmeal, etc.), then stage 1 vegetables and fruits, then stage 2 foods (meats, vegetables and fruits) (all jarred). Once they had enough teeth to chew, I'd give them whatever it was we were having.

Answer 4

I started cereal at 4 months-He wont eat the kind you mix up from the box, only the jar kind.
5 months-vegetables, he hates carrots and sweet potatoes
6 months-meats, such as chicken with apples, he pretty much likes all kinds.
I only give him baby food. I havent tried to mix up stuff on my own yet. Im afraid it will mess up his stomach. He also loves the sweet kind such as vanilla cuustard and fruits. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

I find it hard to believe that a country as advanced as japan wouldnt have a baby food section in the grocery stores and markets. Just buy whatever soft foods are recommended there.

Answer 6

First solid food i gave to my 5 months old son was a banana and he loved it. Now i make him all different vegetable and fruit purees and freeze them so he always gets healthy stuff
