Are there any foods particularly good for weaning?
Pediatricians largely recommend iron fortified single grain rice cereal since it is easily digestible and gluten free. It is thus less likely to cause an allergic reaction and can easily be mixed with breast milk to a thin consistency that meets babys need. Gluten free foods such as pureed organic carrot, pureed organic potatoes, pureed organic parsnip, pureed organic apples, pureed organic pears and pureed organic banana makes excellent first food choices. Whatever first food you choose to start your child on, remember to mix it with your babys regular milk or boiled water to a watered-down creamy texture. This would facilitate easy sucking of the food on the spoon by the baby.
