What was your DC's first solid food?

Rice Cereal? Or something different?

Rice cereal for all 3. I think applesauce followed for all 3.

Banana.

I was told (and read) that for BF babies, something like banana or sweet potato is more similar to the taste they're used to while FF babies are used to the blander flavors of plain cereals. We never gave her plain cereal but we do mix it into fruit every other day or so.

Rhett had rice cereal plain for two days and hated it. We moved on to sweet potatoes and he did great so we never gave him cereal again except to thicken foods that thawed runny like yellow squash and zucchini. The twins have never had plain cereal. I started them on pears.

We did fruit. Apples, bananas, and pears.

ETA: I hit post by accident. I know some people say if they eat fruit first they won't want anything else because it's sweet, but that isn't the case with DD. She loves all food, so far.
