Introducing first foods!

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
FTM here and new to this forum! My son is almost 6 months old (on the 23rd), and I breastfeed exclusively. I'm trying to start introducing solid food to him and have only given him a tiny bite of avocado. What other things could I start giving him? Any ideas and help is appreciated! Thanks!

    I just took a little seminar with a dietitian on introducing solids and she recommended starting with meats as they are the highest in iron and 6 months old is when baby's iron stores begin to deplete. My dd is 4 months and we started on rice cereal last week and around 6 months I plan to start with some meats!

    So much different advice!

    OP, go with your ideas from research and maybe your pedi. Our pedi says meats after 9 months. I think BLW start earlier than that. 

    Avocado, sweet potatoes, squash applesauce. Go to wholesomebaby website. It has great info.
