There’s still a common misconception out there that babies may not be able to handle certain foods early on. But the truth is…There’s no specific order in which solid foods need to be introduced to your baby.Many websites incorrectly claim that vegetables should be offered before fruit, that meat or grains shouldn’t be offered until a couple of months into starting solids, or that mixed meals need to be introduced after single-ingredient foods. We now know after many years of experience and research, this isn’t true at all!
Babies can eat grains and starches, fruits and vegetables, meat, beans and pulses, soy, dairy, and more, from day 1 when they begin eating solid foods.You can mix them all in one meal or have multiple foods over multiple meals (as long as they aren’t a top allergen). And for those of you who aren’t sure what to serve or what foods to start out with – we’ve got you covered! We’ve created the perfect baby led feeding meal plan to guide you through the first months of starting solids.This isn’t just a regular meal plan with a list of recipes, we’ve also included grocery lists, tips for serving food safely, and you’ll get our food checklist with over 115 foods you can check off as you serve them to your baby.
