1/10

You don't have to - there are no hard and fast rules about which solid foods to feed your baby first. In fact, you don't have to start with granola at all. But if you do, try a neutral to bland, iron-fortified, single-grain infant cereal.It also makes spotting food allergies a little easier than multigrain granola. It is recommended to have a thicker consistency at first to avoid drastic changes for your baby.
Eating solids takes practice
4/10
It may seem obvious, but it's the first time a baby has been spoon-fed. So far they only eat liquids. It takes practice to get used to the feeling of holding a spoon and holding a solid object in your mouth. So don't expect them to eat a lot when you're just starting out. Instead of trying to get her to eat a certain amount, focus on getting her used to her experience.
Start with fruits and vegetables, one at a time
5/10
Fruits, vegetables, grains and even pureed meats can all be included in your baby's menu. It's a good idea to introduce her one at a time to see how your child responds to tastes and textures and to avoid developing allergies. If your baby didn't eat the first time, try again later. Your baby needs to refuse food at least 5-10 times on different occasions before he can really say he doesn't like the food. If you suspect it, let your pediatrician know. Use soft baby food from a jar or heat and/or puree to soften the food. Spoon just enough for your baby to swallow easily. Do not force the food.
Avoid Milk and Honey
6/10
Most pediatricians say you should wait until your baby's first birthday before giving cow's milk. Also, do not give honey to babies under the age of 1. This is because there is a possible risk of botulism. This is because the baby's developing immune system cannot fight it off.
Stop when baby is ready to stop
7/10
Your baby will let you know when it's finished eating. They may tap their spoons, turn their heads, pucker their lips, spit out what they put in their mouths, or cry. Don't let them eat more than they want. Children eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. Honoring these instincts can help you avoid overeating now and as you age.
Are you a picky eater? do not worry

Just because your baby doesn't like a new food right away doesn't mean it's going to last forever. Please wait a few days and try again. and again. Again, it may take more than a few tries before your child is ready to try peas. Remember you are a role model. Your baby may be more interested in the foods you enjoy eating. However, don't feed your child or fuss about new foods.
mess up
9/10
As your baby grows, he will try to feed himself. Her tray on her face, hands, hair, bib, clothes, or high chair can have a fair amount of food heading for it. Eating solids is a whole-body tactile experience for your baby. Put a mat under your child's chair to prevent clutter, dress appropriately, and be patient. This stage does not last forever.
When your baby is ready, try finger foods
10/10
Around nine months of age, babies can pick up and eat small pieces of soft table food. You should still be spoon-feeding and formula or breast milk for a while. Includes granola and scrambled eggs. Avoid choking hazards such as candy, potato chips, raw vegetables, grapes or raisins, hard cheese, and whole hot dogs.
