Offer Variety: "What kind of food..." for your 6 month old? Food choices for infants >6 mos must continue to supply the complex nutrients needed for optimum growth thus far received from breast milk & formula. Key foods to include are cereal, meat, fruits, vegetables. Offer a varieity of foods, avoid cow's milk under age 1 yr, avoid juice, no added sugar or salt, include healthy fats (olive/corn oils, etc)

Solid food: You can start cereal, first. Rice, oat or barley. After this, fruits and vegetables. Some say veg before fruit, but it really doesn't matter. One new food every 3-5 days, to make sure baby doesn't have any reactions. Baby needs to be able to hold head up, and open her mouth when food is offered. No added sugar or salt, please. She will get it soon enough, without adding to food, now.
