A bad reaction after a mealtime may cause some backsliding. The easiest table foods to premier are smooth and creamy ones. The taste will be extremely exotic so the texture can remain familiar for now. Yogurt, either plain or with some natural flavorings, is a good choice for an infant that is drinking a milk based formula. Do not try yogurt with fruit until your baby is better aquainted with table food.
Pudding is also an equally acceptable smooth food choice.
Although, do not serve chocolate until after the first year to avoid an allergic reaction. Applesauce is tolerated well by infants. There are now a wide variety of natural flavors increasing the nutritional value of the applesauce. The only thing needed to prepare canned fruit for a baby is a small food processor to chop it into very managable pieces for the beginner. A blender can also be used to chop the fruit into small pieces.
