In addition to breast milk or baby formula, here are the solid foods you can introduce to your baby’s diet at each stage of developmen
When
What
How to Prepare
4-6 months
Single-grain cereals
(Fortified cereals give your baby iron, an important nutrient he needs now. A baby is born with a natural reserve of iron that begins to deplete around 6 months of age.)
Mix with baby formula or breast milk, or water on occasion.
6-8 months
Pureed or strained fruits (bananas, pears, apples, apricots, prunes)
Wash all fresh fruits, then bake, boil, or steam until soft. You can puree in either a blender or a food processor, or use a small hand food mill; add a little liquid like breast milk, baby formula, or water at first. Make it watery at first, then use less liquid as your baby gets used to solid foods
Pureed or strained vegetables (avocados, carrots, peas, potatoes, squash)
Wash all fresh vegetables; then bake, boil, or steam until soft. You can puree in either a blender or a food processor, or use a small hand food mill; add a little liquid like breast milk, baby formula, or water at first. You can use less water for a thicker puree as your baby gets used to the new foods.
Protein: pea-sized pieces of cooked chicken, turkey, or other meats, or boneless fish; beans such as lentils, black, red, or pinto beans.
(Doctors used to recommend waiting a bit to introduce meats, but now they note these are a good source of iron, particularly for breastfed babies, who may not be getting enough.
Cut meat or fish into very small pieces; cook and mash or cut up beans.
8-10 months
Mashed fruits and vegetables
No need to puree; just cook foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes until soft, or mash up soft foods like bananas and avocados.
Finger foods like small o-shaped cereals, teething crackers, or small pieces of cooked pasta
Cut up to make sure the pieces are small enough for your baby to swallow without choking.
Dairy: small amounts of yogurt, cottage cheese, or any pasteurized cheese
Cut cheese into small pieces.
Eggs
Scramble, or hard-boil and cut into small pieces.
10-12 months
Baby can try eating most of the foods you eat now, if they are cut up or mashed properly so that he can safely chew and swallow. Unless you have a strong family history of allergies, the American Academy of Pediatrics now says there is no need to avoid peanut products, eggs, wheat, or fish until after one year, although many pediatricians are still cautious about peanuts and shellfish due to the strong allergic reactions sometimes associated with them. Avoid whole cow’s milk and honey until at least one year. Honey can cause a dangerous illness called infant botulism.
As your baby gets more teeth and learns to chew more effectively, he will begin to be able to eat larger pieces of food. Continue to monitor his chewing carefully, and when in doubt, cut pieces smaller than you think necessary. Be especially careful with round, firm foods like grapes and hot dogs, which pose a particular choking hazard to babies. Chop these into very small pieces.
Use this guide to find out what and how much to feed your child in the first year. The amounts are meant as rough guidelines only, so don't worry if your little one eats a bit more or less than shown. It's a good idea to discuss your solid feeding plan with your child’s doctor before getting started.

How to mix and store formula
Watch a pediatrician demonstrate how to make baby formula and store it safely.
You don't have to introduce foods to your child in any special order. If you want to give your baby a taste of tofu at age 6 months, go ahead, even though it's not listed on our chart until age 8 months. And while cereal is a traditional first food in the United States, it's just fine to start with mashed fruits or vegetables instead. See our new rules for feeding your baby and ideas for adventurous first foods.
In most cases, you won't have to wait to introduce highly allergenic foods like eggs, fish, and peanuts, either (read more about food allergies). Ask your doctor, though, to be sure – and see our tips for introducing new foods, below.
Age: Birth to 4 months
Feeding behavior
Rooting reflex helps your baby turn toward a nipple to find nourishment
Age: 4 to 6 months
Signs of readiness for solid food
Your baby probably won't do all these things – they're just clues to watch for.
Can hold head up
Sits well in highchair
Makes chewing motions
Shows significant weight gain (birth weight has doubled)
Shows interest in food
Can close mouth around a spoon
Can move food from front to back of mouth
Can move tongue back and forth, but is losing tendency to push food out with tongue
Seems hungry after 8 to 10 feedings of breast milk or 40 oz. of formula in a day
Is teething
What to feed
Breast milk or formula, PLUS
Pureed food (like sweet potatoes, squash, apples, bananas, peaches, or pears) or semi-liquid iron-fortified cereal
How much per day
Begin with about 1 teaspoon pureed food or cereal. Mix cereal with 4 to 5 teaspoons breast milk or formula (it'll be very runny).
Increase to 1 tablespoon of pureed food, or 1 tablespoon of cereal mixed with breast milk or formula, twice a day. If giving cereal, gradually thicken the consistency by using less liquid.
Feeding tips
If your baby won't eat what you're offering on the first try, offer it again in a few days
