When Harry started solids, I tried to introduce 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 might choose accept it. What fun.
Here is a vegetable puree cooking guide. These were the vegetables Harry tried around the 6 month mark.
You may also want to pick up some carpet Preen from Woolies at the same time.
