Peas. Babies frickin love peas. They mush up super smooth, and they're a good way to work in solids because you can leave more and more of the peas whole!

I make my son carrots, pumpkin and pear all together. Carrots and pumpkin, carrots with banana, pear and banana, papaya and pumpkin, papaya and banana, papaya, banana and pumpkin.

I made my own food with my other two kids and plan to do it again with my youngest. What i used to do was blend up what ever i cooked fir dinner or lunch and add breast milk into it to make it smooth you can use formula. My sons favorite was chicken rice and green beans. My daughter wouldnt eat meat until she was 2 so i had to substitute iron enriched foods with tofu.

I started at 6 months with oatmeal and soft things like banana, avocado, scrambled eggs, cooked sweet potatoes, etc.
