  My baby hated the rice cereal, so we went to avocado and banana.  You don't need to cook either.  I just mashed them and added a little breastmilk to make it thinner.  We're trying oatmeal next.

  I started my DS on mashed bananas right at 4 months.  He still loves them 2 months later, it's his favorite solid.  If you use a fork, they mash right up to a near liquid.  As this point solids aren't a meal anyway, you're just introducing foods...and bananas are sweet and healthy!

  We are going to start with avocado, I initally thought banana's but I read that it can (doesnt always) cause constapation. Someone on another post recommended this website and I love it very helpful - https://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/

  Applesauce is another good one. It's one of the thinnest baby foods.

  My DS hated the rice cereal also so we started mixing the stage one baby foods with oatmeal cereal instead. He loves applesauce or peaches mixed in but LOVES the pears.

  I've known several people whose LOs love barley cereal.

  My son loves sweet potatoes. I mix a little rice cereal in with it and absolutely loves it.

  This is the order we did: applesauce, avocado, sweet potato, pears. My doc said it didn't matter which we started with first. I've fed her the same thing for around 4-5 days then tried something new.
