Babies first food

[Tiptopj]

Hi I'm ready to start weaning my LO in the next few weeks and I'm just curious about what you all gave your baby for their first ever taste of real food. I'm thinking I might try a good old fashioned bit of mushed up banana. I plan to go with the flow and let him just let him taste whatever I'm having to start with (a baby safe version of course) but it's the first taste of something I give him that I'm really excited about. So what did you give first?

Carrots, cut into sticks, cooked - we started off BLW.

Roast dinner.

First food was yogurt, then she had whatever we had.
BLW all the way for us. I now have a two year old who eats EVERYTHING!!

DS1 had roasted vegetables batons carefully prepared for him. DS2 had fish pie shoved in front of him and got stuck right in!

Apple puree

I think steamed/roast veg off our plate to begin with, so likely to be green beans or carrot batons.

I need to read up on this baby led weaning as everyone says how successful it is.

Apple puree sounds good although I love the roast dinner idea!

Apple purée here too. Positive response from my ds1 and dd2, ds2 acted as though I was trying to poison him, swiftly tried carrots which he loved.

I have just started a couple weeks ago. So far we have tried:
A piece of toast from our breakfast table.
Also sticks of cucumber, cheese, cooked carrots, long pasta.

Mashed sweet potatoes, banana, avocado and baby rice porridge for spoon feeding.

My DD seems to prefer holding food in her hand and sucking on it rather than spoon feeding.

In any case most of it all ends up on her face, table, floor rather than her mouth
