When Harry started solids I introduced a new food every couple of days. I had just about every face you can imagine, screwed up, rubbing eyes, gag, vomit, meh meh, tongue out. You get the picture. Apparently you may need to try a food at least 10 times before your baby will accept it. What fun this is.

Here is a vegetable puree cooking guide. These are the veggies I tried around the 6  month stage.

You may also want to pick up some Carpet Preen or a splash mat at the same time.
