Once the baby is done with his first 6 months of purely milk feeding, it is now the time to introduce him to solid food as another source of energy, nutrients and vitamins that will cater his nutritional needs especially during his growth spurts. The best thing mommy can do is to have a list of best variety of foods she can offer to the baby. So what are those food? Let’s find out!

Since the baby is still unable to eat the boiled vegetables or sliced fruits, mommy should make a puree out of it so the texture will become of very smooth consistency and it will be easier for baby to consume it.

•Squash Puree

Whether it is butternut squash, winter squash or acorn squash, it is one of the best vegetable to introduce to your little one since it contains plenty of vitamins and nutients that are helpful for your baby’s growth and development. It has dietary fiber, potassium, protein, folate, vitamin A, and it also has calcium.

•Apple Puree

To prepare a puree, you can steam or boil the sliced vegetables. Mash them to make a smooth pasty texture and add milk (breastmilk or formula) to improve its consistency and make it more nutritious and tasty for your baby’s little tummy.
