   Doctors suggest that parents feed newborns only breast milk or equation for the first four to six months of life. Once a baby comes to that age, parents can start supplementing with solid nourishment if the baby's tongue push reflex is weakened, so he does not decline everything put into his mouth. A baby should furthermore be contain up his head, have increase two-fold in birth heaviness, have an expanded appetite, and display concern in normal food. That first solid nourishment should be nutritious, digestible and presented one at a time to isolate any allergic reactions.
   Cereals for Newborns
   Although no clues need it, parents generally offer a first nourishment of iron-fortified rice cereal blended with equation or breast milk. With little flavor of its own, rice cereal supposes the well renowned taste of breast milk or formula; its consistency can alter from soupy to broad and it determinants less allergic reactions. If rice cereal is frequently turned down or determinants constipation, trial another single-grain cereal like barley or oatmeal. Steer clear of wheat, however. Some offspring can't digest wheat gluten or have allergic responses to it. Also, use a spoon; supplementing cereal to a baby's container may origin overeating or gas and does not accustom a baby to consuming solid foods.
   Vegetables and Fruits
   After cereal, trial proposing pureed green vegetables, like green beans and peas. The current wish is that offspring discover to relish their subtle flavor before discovering--and habitually expecting--sweeter foods. If the baby declines nourishment, delay a week and trial it again. However, offspring utilized to the sweetness of breast milk often favor yellow vegetables like pureed squash, carrots and sugary potatoes, as well as most fruits. Mashed bananas are a perennial very well liked, and some professionals support for pureed avocado as a flawless first nourishment, with its creamy sweetness, nutrients, wholesome fats and so straightforward digestibility. Try furthermore pears, peaches, mangoes and applesauce. Introduce them pureed at the start, graduating over time to a chunkier consistency.
   Meats for Newborns
   After the baby comes to about 7 months of age, insert meats, starting with poultry and progressing to red beef varieties. Meats supply protein and other nutrients not accessible in fruits and vegetables, but large amounts of protein might be hard on a baby's system. Depending on the baby's age and masticating proficiency, offer little allowances either pureed and fed by spoon or cut up delicately as digit foods.
   Skip for Now
   Do not insert for demonstration, cow's milk, honey or citrus fruits and their juice extracts until after a baby's first birthday. Citrus is too acidic for the baby's digestive scheme, honey may origin botulism, and for demonstration may origin an allergic reaction. Cow's milk is harder to digest and does not comprise the nutrients offspring require at this age. Do not offer baby seafood or nuts until he is 2 or 3, since these can origin critical allergic responses, particularly in infants whose beside relations are allergic to these foods. If the baby evolves a gentle rash, bloating or gas, diarrhea, vomiting or general fussiness after consuming any new nourishment, don't offer the nourishment afresh without medical practitioner approval. In the case of critical responses like hives or respiring adversity, request health vigilance immediately.
