Following your baby’s cues on what they seem to enjoy is a good place to start because children do have preferences too. This is known as the ‘baby-led’ weaning approach, which is a good way of helping him learn the connection between taste, appearance and texture. Try and mix the foods that he likes with new ones. Ensure that you give a wide variety of vegetables and fruits eg grated apple, avocado, watermelon, mango etc Also include a variety of vegetables including green leafy vegetables and others such as courgetes, broccoli, and eggplant. In terms of starch, rice, spaghetti and mashed potatoes are some choices you can give.
